It was easy to see this coming.

The top three in the GOP polls have never held public office. They won't last long after the new year, if they're still here.

Best thing that could happen: Trump finishes second or third in the primaries and Bernie somehow comes out on top. Trump then runs as an independent and the Republicans are split, giving Bernie an easy ride to the White House.

Trump wouldn't make it to primaries and certainly wouldn't run as an Independent. He's got money, but he definitely doesn't want to waste it on a campaign that will most likely not make it above 5% of the vote.

He was leading the polls for a while.

Well, John Boehner will be resigning as Speaker of the House, which is evidence that the Tea Party has taken over the Republican Party.

To lower taxes, is to somewhat diminish the power of the government. Lowering taxes goes hand in hand with a smaller government, as the government then no longer has to provide all the services that a 'socialist' one might have to provide, like welfare.

I don't like it, largely due to the corporations getting a lot of power, but if that was solved by libertarians, I wouldn't mind a smaller government. I'd prefer a larger one, but I'd be okay with either.

We're getting to know candidates via opinions of someone behind a youtube account?

TestTube is a Discovery Network, y'know?

Their HQ is huge.
