Yes, if it's going to be Clinton vs Trump, the dems will have a low turnout and the reps will have a huge turnout. It's already the case in the primaries.

I just keep hoping that somehow Kasich or Romney can sneak in there. Or I am willing to take Webb.

Kasich does better with Democrats than Republicans in polling. He doesn't have a negative image that would prevent Republicans from voting for him and in every head-to-head poll he beats Hillary or Bernie.

I think these "experts" will be just as wrong as they were about Trump flaming out early on. They seem to be the clueless type. Turnout may be light on the Democrat side, but those who are pissed off that Obama got elected TWICE will be out in droves to keep Hitlery out of the WH again. Many people do want to make america great again!

I'm not so sure about that. I don't see the moderate and well-educated Repubs ever going for Trump. Right now they are splitting their votes among the other candidates. Look at the analysis from yesterday about who voted for who.

I'm in the middle and both of these choices are terrible for me. It may be the first election I sit out. Or vote third party or write-in.

Do you think Ronald Reagan, [Bless Him], would have a chance today?

I know Obama was elected in the hysteria of the recession and the terrible mess in the ME.

Why was Bush jr. elected in 2000? I was working so much then I never paid attention to the campaigns.

Bill Clinton had loads of charisma and made love to the camera as if they were his women on the side.

Ted Cruz is no answer for a moderate Republicans either. He's a hard core, anti-abortion, gay hating evangelical.

To me he's the most dangerous person in the race ideologically. The thought that he could be nominating 2, maybe 3 supreme court justices over his term is just to scary to contemplate. He'd put evangelical anti-abortion anti-gay extremists in there and wouldn't compromise in any way.

You will not get that from any other candidate in the race except maybe Rubio, and he isn't winning.

I can see a scenario where an asteroid hits the RNC Convention in Cleveland while Clint Eastwood is performing an encore of his chair routine (this time, it will be more like Flashdance chair and water routine, sexy sexy time). . . . Kasich might be taken out, too, but Romney should be safe in Salt Lake City.

How can such a great country front such ridiculous candidates?

This is the most entertaining campaign season ever.

Sit back and enjoy the fireworks.
