Election 2016, when a vote for any candidate constitutes throwing away your vote.

Ted Cruz Says He Used to Like Rock Music but Now Prefers Country Music Because of 9/11
On Tuesday, CBS This Morning host Gayle King asked presidential candidate Ted Cruz what kind of music he listens to. Here’s his response.
“You know, music is interesting. I grew up listening to classic rock and I’ll tell you sort of an odd story. My music tastes changed on 9/11. And it’s a very strange—I actually, intellectually, find this very curious, but on 9/11, I didn’t like how rock music responded. And country music collectively, the way they responded, it resonated with me and I have to say, it—just as a gut level, I had an emotional reaction that says, “These are my people.” And so ever since 2001 I listen to country music, but I’m an odd country music fan because I didn’t listen to it prior to 2001."
Spoken like a normal human being with genuine, relatable interests.
Jesus. Following Politics makes me feel like everyone is insane. How can anyone take any of these clowns seriously?

There is not one serious worthy candidate for the repubs/tea party at this point.
No there isn't. Though you could also argue that about the dems.

Frankly, I am not on the Sanders train. I get why people like him, but...I don't think so.

The Republicans facsinate me right now. There's so many of them and Trump is just sucking up the oxygen right now, even if no one in the establishment give him much of a chance. He has to stay in for a few debates and you know he's going to be sound bite ready.
I've also enjoyed watching them try to out-conservative each other over the recent court rulings. A new amendment? Civil Unrest? Re-electable judges? Let's get rid of the Court? Worst 24 hours in American history?
My money is still on Jeb being the last one standing, if for no other reason than he's raking in the contributions.
