Who you suppose is going to win?

Win the presidency in the next race that is? Myself, I believe it's going to be Mitt Romney...... no wait that was last time. No I believe, and I'd be willing to put money down on the counter, that it's going to be Mr. Trump. I say this because he's a clean break from the status quo and as is usual with the repubs, he has a great line. "Make America great again" which resonates with a lot of people including myself. Just the very fact that he's a breath of fresh air from the bible thumping, lunatic evangelical freako's that makes most people wince.

So who's going to take it studio audience? Just curious on everyone's take.

Most people, including myself, are just fed up with all career politicians and they see Trump as a radical departure from the status quo.

If the enemy of my enemy is my friend that makes Trump my friend as neither political machine likes him. Both political parties are leading us into socialism, just at different speeds. The republicans are approving budgets that take us deeper into debt (the hidden truth is that neither party plans to mitigate the debt but to admit it would be bad for the dollar, actually the debt is too large to mitigate).

I don't like anyone of either party, but as of today, I think Hillary Clinton will win. I think the accusations against her for Benghazi (several Republican search committees found nothing) and the e-mail thing(Dubya's Secretaries of State (Rice and Powell) did the same thing with e-mails, is turning the public toward her. Right now, most women will vote for her and so will minorities.
I just may stay home.

See, I see the opposite. Republicans want to kill social security, they want to kill medicare, unemployment etc etc, right down to the elimination of unions. Basically, the republicans want their own country club where they are all white, all wealthy, control the Earths resources including the food, and leave their slaves poor, hungry and stuck with all the pollution, low lying areas that are sinking under the rising oceans etc etc.

Are you serious? That is beginning to sound like a wild eyed rant.

Are YOU Serious? You've been doing the wild eyed rant from the day your box opened up!

Here's what we now know.

You're pro wealthy paying no taxes.
I'm not.

You think that only well off people should have health coverage. Poor folks can just die off.

Me? I'm pro socialized medicine for all.

eddie, all you need to do is google "tea party" and look at all the extremists. Republicans have been the most obstructionists we've seen recently.

Sorry, but this country was founded by rich white men. Most Republicans would like it to still be controlled by rich white men and it mostly is.

. . . and yet another rant with no basis in fact. To google tea party is not the same as going to a meeting and knowing the attendees personally. However, it really isn't a party as such, just citizens that are fed up with government and both political parties and paying for both the freebies and those that get rich managing the freebies.
