Of course no one really knows, it is all speculation still_one Oct 2015 #127
I don't know about that, either. Polls might tell us something. merrily Oct 2015 #128
Not my college-aged daughter and her friends TransitJohn Oct 2015 #125
True, their "we suck less" strategy isn't about growing the party jfern Oct 2015 #8
It is their choice. As far as the epic disaster in 2014, if something like that occurred in 2016, still_one Oct 2015 #129
