If the public is funding ludicrously expensive two-party elections, that doesn't solve everything.

We need to level the playing field across the parties so new voices can make a legitimate impact.

But politicians, theoretically, aren't indebted to companies involved in Super PACs, so it's still a monster step in the right direction.
 
It's not just Florida, Ohio and New Hampshire are two more states that Bush won very closely where Nader had 2+% of the vote. We can't know for sure if either of those states would've flipped, but you can't completely discount it.

And even if Nader didn't cost anything, it doesn't change the fact that Bloomberg poses a threat to the Democratic nominee, especially if it's Bernie.

He is not going to win. His potential candidacy concerns me,

And I strongly disagree that the Democratic nominees are jokes. But then I'm a life-long progressive, so that shouldn't be surprising.

You have a socialist, who has zero chance of winning a national election. The other candidate is involved in an active investigation by the FBI.

On the other side we have a reality TV star with a history of bankruptcies and overstated real estate holdings who's offered literally no plans on how he is going to accomplish things through a year of campaigning, and Ted Cruz, a walking bucket of slime.

Oh yea. This is America's best hope.

that pretty much sums it all up right there
 
I'm for no limits on campaign finance as long as they don't come from overseas entities. In my view it violates the 1st Amendment caveats of Freedom of Speech and Association.

The rich should have more free speech than anyone else, just like the founding fathers wanted.

Oh please, this election is just a formality; God has chosen his candidate and our country will be blessed again.

Reagan is gonna come down from heaven on a white horse wearing a gold cape, holding in his hand the new constitution. He will wipe every liberal off the face of the earth.

I'm not so sure that Bernie has zero chance. I had that belief, but I'm not sure anymore.

Recent national polls conducted between February 2-4 have Bernie ahead of Trump by 10, ahead of Cruz by 4, and tied with Rubio. Polls conducted by the same organization in the same timeframe have Hillary ahead of Trump by 5, tied with Cruz, and behind Rubio by 7.

Now, I'm the first to say that national polls for a general election don't necessarily matter and that state polls in Ohio/Florida/Pennsylvania/etc are more important, but still, it can't mean nothing.

Can Bernie withstand the GOP onslaught of 'BIG BAD SOCIALIST' attack ads in the fall? That's an open question, but I don't think I agree anymore that he has zero chance.

And when you bring the FBI thing up with Hillary, you sound like Trump or Cruz.
