I've always felt like Cabinet positions are for the old people who don't have presidential ambitions. Hillary was an exception to that obviously, but I just don't see the benefit of it. I don't understand why Castro took the Cabinet position, either. Presidential runs are still mainly for Senators and governors for some reason (and reality TV stars, can't forget). Kennedy will want to be Senator once Warren's seat opens up

Fair enough. At the end of the day its not the position but what the candidate manages to get done. If he plays a crucial role in the administration then it might serve him better. I've always doubted the credentials of a Congressman in terms of presidential campaigns. With Governors they've run states, Secretaries have run departments, but Senators/Reps. haven't experienced the responsibility that comes with the Oval Office.

The problem with Castro is that he didn't see a run for Senate or Governor possible. He's from Texas, and it'll take a few more cycles before Dems find success there.

Hillary will be attending Nancy Reagan's funeral services this Friday.

That's true, but winner-take-all states and the multiple-candidate field make it easier for Cruz to catch up. Bernie is facing Hillary one-on-one, and she's already amassed a nearly insurmountable delegate lead. The Democrats' proportional allocation doesn't help Bernie's chances.

Its different. GOP primary rules are different.

What I'm saying is that a Trump win in Florida, Michigan, Ohio does not ensure he will win because there is still the chance of a brokered convention, especially since his national numbers are starting to fall and Cruz is outperforming expectations.

The Dem side is very different. 200 points is near insurmountable, especially since Bernie will never get as favourable a weekend as he just had. Most caucus states have low delegate totals. Most low AA population states have low delegate totals. And most of those states are done.

Did either of you look at my link? Cruz and Rubio are WAY behind. They will have to start winning all the winner-take all states. You know that not all republican primaries after March 15 are WTA, right? Trump isn't going away, neither are his fans or his support. Even if Rubio/Kasich drop out not every Rubio/Kasich will become a Cruz supporter. Some of them will become Trump supporters or they just won't vote. The GOP running multiple candidates only hurts them.

I agree with the brokered convention, but that doesn't mean Rubio or Cruz "have a chance".

I hope they address the topic of climate change. Apart from New Orleans, Miami is the US city that is most at risk from rising sea-levels caused by melting ice-caps. It amazes me, that a politician from Miami like Rubio ignores this issue.

You know they won't. None of the GOP candidates believe that humans are causing climate change anyway.

Who NOT these people? And I don't think that matters much; even Clinton would endorse Sanders if he went on to be the Democratic nominee (which is highly unlikely atp), like, I don't really see that as a viable reason for Kirsten not wanting to be the Democratic Party's VP nominee, and I think she would be a great POTUS if, god forbid, anything happens to Bernie (who would be the oldest person to become POTUS if elected).

I know very little about the people you selected, so I was asking why you were selecting them

Rubio might win Hawaii. I don't think there have been any polls there, but it is the least white state.

Bernie has had horrible ground game these past few months. Holding rallies with thousands of people in populated cities with your biggest supporters isn't going to get him more casual supporters that he needs. I get why black people are skeptical of an old white man from way up north promising all these radical changes that'll make their lives better on tv but never actually going down and speaking and connecting to them like Hillary has.

I lowkey wish the race ends today so everyone at my lunch table can stop talking about Bernie and how the latest poll in Michigan only had him 5 points down, and how the debate on Sunday probably made up for the 5 points overnight. I kind of want to give them a good shake and tell them how exactly over it is.

I've said a lot of angry, misinformed things about Hillary in the past but I can't deny she's held an honest, well managed campaign to this point and I would probably.. vote for her. I checked her website last night and it was nice to see that she has a comprehensive plan about student loan debt and interest rates.

I said the same thing before actually living there. It's actually not THAT bad most of the time, and the open-mindedness there provides enough warmth.

Haha aww. I'm from Indiana, so I'm used to winter. I want to get away from it though.

If trump doesn't get the nom the next president will be a Republican.

Lots of fear mongering in this article but the parallels were still pretty undeniable. Literal white supremacists embrace Trump wholeheartedly, he thrives off their support and he knows it.

The only thing I've seen him do to outreach that demographic is do an interview with the Breakfast Club and it had really bad audio and visual so I doubt anyone watched that I wonder why he isn't trying harder.

Hillary is smart because she did all her whipping and naenaeing and visited families of police brutality for the good PR. It's so funny how quickly the video of her talking down to black people surfaced right after she got the black vote. She couldn't even leave it a week to show her true colours

Hillary's most notable surrogates. Imagine all will be part of her perspective cabinet.

Chelsea will probably be an Ambassador or something. A control of a government department might serve Kennedy well in terms of his presidential ambitions. At least better than being a Representative would.

I can realistically see her being the UN Ambassador, although I don't know if I can see her leaving The Clinton Foundation. It's very important to her and her family's legacy.

Yes because the federal government has never helped out a state when it was in need. Did Louisiana handle Katrina all on its own?

Are you really trying to say there's nothing the federal government can do for Flint?

That isn't what I said. Read.

Certain parts of government are responsible for certain things. That was a moronic, baseless and misleading tweet.

Hillary had high favorables with black people long before any whip or nae nae

Perks of being a smart, global, empowering leader!

lol they really don't. They laud Bill Clinton after all the damage he done. Why? Because he went on Arsenio Hall and played the saxophone? That's quite pathetic. They need to get their priorities in order

Didn't he go to some HBCUs before the SC primary? Maybe he needs to target more than just black people in higher education.

Definitely. And you have a lot of black public figures endorsing Hillary

I know Bernie has a lot of black unions and organisations on his side tho. Well the membership is on his side. Often the leadership chooses to endorse Hillary regardless.
