No shit. WTF.
I guess we should all just clear the air and talk about what we don't like about each other now.
It's like Festivus came early.

The person who also does well in the general is Kasich. Why? He and Sanders are comparatively unknown and unvetted. As opposed to the rest who are very well known and very well vetted. Sanders and Kasich will have much further to fall when voters are given a side-by-side comparison in the fall.
The strongest argument for either candidate is winning in the general. We can all agree that it's important to flip such a conservative SCOTUS and keep Trump/Cruz out of the WH. I don't buy that national polls taken today are the best indicator of who could do that.
Or you galvanize the right...
John Kasich and his policies aren't anywhere close to moderate. They may look that way compared to just how crazy that party has become, but other than accepting free money for Obamacare, he has led a continual campaign against worker and women's rights. The guy is no moderate. It's the media's caricature of him (and liking of him, since he's less batshit) that's led to him doing so well in these general election polls. Once the public actually sees the sort of garbage he supports, he'd fall down to the support level of another also-ran like McCain or Romney.
From day one the Right has characterized Obama as some extreme Socialist who takes the far left stance on everything. So had Obama actually taken the stances he was getting attacked for, he would have gained liberal credibility while moving the center for compromise leftward...and all of that with no downside since he was already being portrayed as someone taking that stance to begin with.

I have tickets to the Giants Sunday night game. We should get Headache to come to town too!I hate how you never invite me to Packer games.
Luckily it's an early October game so you would only need 3 layers of clothing.
I'll buy some long johns and buy beer for tailgating!

Bernie is holding a rally down the street from me Monday evening. Getting home from work is going to be a peach.
Well at least now we know why you will be voting for Hillary Tuesday. No traffic tie ups for a better America.

President Obama is likely to sit out the entire presidential primary season amid concerns about the damage he could do by stepping too soon into a contentious Democratic contest running far longer than he expected, White House aides say.
As fault lines emerge in the race and with Obama not wanting to alienate key voters, his aides are gambling that Obama will still have enough time to rally the party before the November general election.

If McCain and Romney aren't moderates, I think you have a skewed vision of American politics. You might not like where the middle currently is, but that is the middle.
Part of what keeps me awake at night is not knowing why she hasn't been able to put Bernie away. I would like to think that it's more his skill than her flaws. It may be both. I also think that she hasn't really gone for the jugular so as not to alienate his supporters, because she knows she will need them (and him) in the fall. So, she's being very cautious in a way she would not be with a Republican in the general. I remember it being said in '08 that one reason to prefer HRC over O was because the Clintons would slit throats to win. That's still true, I think.
But then I wonder if she isn't actually a weak candidate. She's not a movement candidate, like Obama or Reagan or even her husband, or like Sanders would be. She's more of a policy wonk status quo candidate who is, in effect, Obama's VP. So she's more a Gore or a Bush 1. I hope.
My deep fear is she's a Dukakis or Mondale.
But probably not. Right?
I think this election cycle proves once and for all that having just two political parties in a country as vast and varied as this one is just fucking stupid.
