A 13% win margin when there are three candidates is, in fact, a more impressive win than when there are two. The Republican race is legitimately a three horse derby.

So Bernie was personally invited to speak at the Vatican, being the first candidate this has ever happened to.

It's no secret Pope Francis can relate a lot to Bernie. That political cartoon highlights the exact reason why, even.

Finally a little something to give you hope. He's almost certainly not going be president.

Well I mean Trump's most likely Democratic opponent is Hillary Clinton, and she isn't very well liked either. It's going to be a long, dirty election.

Comparing the two is completely pointless I'm afraid,due ti the radically different way in which the two systems operate and the divergent political culture of the two countries.
But actually no. People tend to like Cameron more than his party. |

I'm withdrawing my support for Trump. His campaign post-Rubio hasn't gone in a way that suggests to me clever political savvy - rather, it seems like he had an idea for a first step but not how to go further.
Hoping for a brokered convention that selects Kasich. No more establishment! But I would vote Ted Cruz over Hillary Clinton, as much as I dislike Cruz.

Yeah there is no way Trump will get the nomination at this point. It's mathematically impossible. He'll go in with the majority of delegates but not the required amount. And most of his delegates will not vote for him on the second round of voting.
I doubt Kasich will get it, even though I'd be perfectly fine with that (best outcome honestly). The party is far more likely to ask delegates to cast Paul Ryan into the ring to be voted for and it's entirely possible he will come out the nominee. But that would piss off a lot of people for a lot of reasons... |

Bernie has continued to impress me but I'm still worried that Clinton will steamroll him and leave Trump or (god forbid) Cruz as the only one who can keep her out of office. Keep it up Bernie you can do this! Edit: Kasich will ruin education and by extension the country. He scares me even more than Shillary. Just because his platform is "I'm not a crazy bigot like them" doesn't mean he isn't completely nuts.

American education iz already, by and large, a bit pants compared to the rest of the developed world (for under 18's, bunch of world class universities obviously). Significant variation at State level means some States perform admirably though.
Will confess to knowing next to nothing about Kasich's education policy.

Well, looks like we're done with debates until the general election ones unless another one gets thrown in, which, by the looks of tonight and the issues with scheduling leading up to it, seems unlikely to happen. What do y'all think of the debate system in and of itself, do you see it as effective ways of displaying the candidates' stances, views, strengths, weaknesses? Or do you see it as just a way for the best orators to shine? And what of the amount of debates, where in 2008 the Democrats had 26 debates, starting as early as April of 2007, or in 2012 where the Republicans had 27, having had three in a seven day period several times, in comparison to now, where Republicans had 12 and Democrats had 10? Do you think the more tight-knit schedule is better or the larger amount?

I'll say that I'm fine with a small amount of debates run by the party directly, as long as candidates aren't barred from participating from debates put on by other groups.

Hillary has no right to say anything about "fighting for us." It's pretty clear that she can be bought.
