Sorry for the tardy response, DTC… I've got to disagree with you on Hillary's campaign… there's not a day goes by that new discoveries are announced about her lying… in fact a descent poll asked the first word one thought of when each of the candidates names were mentioned… for Hillary it was Liar.
It's actually getting serious since the FBI is now in charge of the investigation of her "private email server" which she installed and utilized all during her tenure as Secretary of State. The obvious reason was so that her e-mails would escape the light of day. She supposedly electronically wiped the server when it was discovered, but the FBI believes it can reconstruct a lot of it. This has to do with national security concerns at well…
Biden will probably be the candidate of choice if he runs… his oldest son died within the last year and he's been noticeably subdued since… Obama has no love lost for either of the Clintons (and vice-versa) so he has already come out with support for Biden.
As t the Republicans… out of 17 candidates (an historical record) there are 3 front runners… Trump, Dr. Carson and Ms. Carly Fiorina… Surprisingly the common thread amongst all three is that they are non-governmantal in their backgrounds. The Republicans (paired with the Independents) are all in for a candidate that has no ties to the perceived "ruling class"… hence the low ratings of highly qualified candidates like Senator Rubio, ex-governor Scott Walker, ex-Governor Jeb Bush, ex-Governor Chris Christie, etc.
Personally, I see Trump as an increasingly viable candidate… his business background and take no prisoners response to the main stream press are admired (at this point in time) by a lot of people outside of the Republican Part. I also especially like Dr. Ben Carson, a black man with a wonderful life's history… born pore to a single mother who insisted he get a good education… became a leading pediatric surgeon and was Director of Pediatrics at Johns Hopkins Hospital… he was the first to separate Siamese twins in the womb and other such achievements. He's quiet spoken, knowledgeable and no baggage. Carly Fiorina is one of the smartest women out there and is coming on strong since her performance in some of the debates. She was CEO for Hewlett Packard and made them zillions of dollars just by the strength of her will and her smarts…
Jeb Bush… the previous front runner is fading fast… especially since his claim to fame is that of the "ruling class"… fairly or not...
