The crowd thing is peculiar. Bernie's crowds are impressive enough that I am amazed he isn't winning the voting. I guess you have to be young enough not to remember the 1970s. Too much of what he says belongs in that decade.
Trump's crowds are full of people with a strangely dull-witted look about them. Maybe he is someone who can activate the bottom end of the IQ bell curve.
What a wonderful country that Clinton looks likely to face Trump or Cruz! I didn't think the Republican Party's candidates could get weaker than the previous cycles, but by golly they have managed it.
After the last election loss, I remember they reviewed what had gone wrong and wrote a report identifying what they thought the problems were. I guess they didn't figure it out.
