1. Who is the "someone else" that people are thinking about?

[Ykcutnek]

2. Wishful Thinking 2016. nt

[Agschmid]

3. I'm a supporter of Hillary if she runs...

But I actually don't think if it's a contested nomination she will win.

But as of yet no one is contesting anything.

[Renew Deal]

4. Webb is the other candidate right now

I can't imagine you think she will lose to him? I don't think Biden beats her either.

[Agschmid]

15. Solid point.

She is tough to beat.

[MineralMan]

5. Too early for this.

We don't know who will be running in the primaries. From where I sit, though, it looks like Hillary Clinton will end up on the ballot in November, 2016. Whoever is the nominee will have my vote, and should have the vote of all Democrats.

7. It's never too early

And on some level, it is late.

6. No vote.

Who knows? Certainly none here, yet alone anywhere.

This never-ending presidential election mindset has to end. It is one of the worst cultural malignancies of the USA. The UK has national elections on a few weeks notice. And they even have more than two parties (even if one ignores the Silly Walks party).

Yes, it is a bit of a mess. But it is a far better system than the USA, where the media has actually convinced people that we should be in perpetual presidential campaign mode.

And people wonder why so many don't vote.

At this time I do not give a fuck who is, or is not running for US President in 2016. Ask me in two years, or so, which will be still far too soon.

If you disagree, I would argue that you are all sheeple to the media hype.

Thanks for the opportunity to rant.

13. Only two weeks notice? wow..interesting. So, no need to learn about the

people running? Or does everyone know everyone already?

[longship]

17. There is plenty of time, my friend.

Again, the 24/7 news media has actually convinced people that the USA should be forever in presidential election mode.

If people want to follow that road, so be it. But I see it as a fool's path.

[HappyMe]

14. A very righteous rant.

I agree.

Perpetual election time just manages to make people numb a little. So much blather, all the time. Throw in big money and it's a recipe for low turnout.
A few weeks notice would allow for time to delve into the issues without all the added snark.

8. "Hillary" vs. "Jeb"

I think they both stay away from last names due some high priced branding consultant advice.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

11. interesting thought !

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

16. I imagine a certain shit chimp will go into hiding

If Jeb is the nominee and has his family with him on the convention stage, we won't see George anywhere near there. A nominee will shun his own brother.

9. Romney pulled out for an economic reason, who wants to be Hoover 2.0.

[KingCharlemagne]

10. I very seldom 'pass' but felt I had to this time, as it is too early for

me to predict the outcome. (I suck at predictions anyway.) Good poll, though! I'm going to be rooting for (and maybe volunteering for) Sanders, should he switch party registration. It's usually over by the time the CA primary happens.

[PAProgressive28]

12. Only Warren can beat her

I suppose you never know. Somebody could come from somewhere and catch her. I don't see it though. We're still over a year away from the election but that's close enough to have heard about possible candidates. The only names I've heard are Bernie, Webb, O'Malley, and Cuomo. The last two may not even run.

[hrmjustin]

18. Hillary will win.

[mylye2222]

19. We all know...

The game is already rigged.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

20. I'm not sure there's much in it, but Hillary is much more likely than anyone else.

There are a great many people who could become the Democratic nominee.

I would say that Hillary's chances are not greatly dissimilar to everyone else's put together.
