US Elections

[The Cincinnati Kid]

yes, yes....there's plenty to be said about the candidates wackiness blah blah bellyache bellyache...
But here's the real skinny.....the FACT that on the left, Sanders almost won Iowa and trounced Clinton in N Hamp and the FACT that Cruz won Iowa and Trump won NH and the FACT that establishment party candidates are far far far off in 2nd and 3rd slots.....means the great American public on the right, left and in the middle.....have had a gutful of politicos. We just don't trust them anymore.
Surprised we have not seen the rise of a 3rd Independent party.

Fascinating stuff

There's mutterings of Michael Bloomberg making a late entry as an independent.

Bernie may be running as a Dem but he is an Independent already.
Bernie Bernie Bernie ...

Can't think of one candidate worth voting for (if I were a citizen and could indeed vote, but am not and cannot), but if Bloomberg does enter the fray, the presidency will probably go to whomever the Republican nomination is. Bloomberg will do to the Dems what Perot did to the Republicans back in '92.
We need to get rid of career politicians. They're only interested in their own back pocket!
