Too early even to be completely sure that we'll witness the same annoying dynamics as we have for the last twenty years (though so far, it looks the same).

That is, the Democrats will have only a few contenders, and one of the lesser challengers will make surprise progress.

The Republicans will all pretend to be wild-eyed radicals for at least the first two thirds of the process, in order to appeal to their perception of the Tea Party, then whoever takes the lead will gradually try to pretend to be developing a sense of balance and sanity.

Unless it's Trump, in which case all bets are off.

Aristotle said that Man by nature is a political animal. When he said animal, he wasn't referring to the kind of animal that one might find in a petting zoo. Political animals are more like the carnivores that one might encounter during an African safari. When dealing with one, it is a good idea to be armed with an elephant gun and plenty of ammunition.

Speaking of elephants, some folks are describing the current GOP presidential field as a clown car full of clowns. That description doesn't work, because there are too many GOP contenders for even a clown car. A better description would be that the GOP presidential field is a deck of cards containing a couple of jokers, with Donald Trump being one of the jokers.

The Democratic presidential field is having its own growth spurts. To paraphrase a line from the movie The Princess Diaries, Hillary shouldn't get herself measured for a tiara just yet. If she doesn't get trapped in the Webb of one of her primary opponents, then she could easily get trapped in a web that she wove herself.

Hillary has become the Democrat version of Romney in 2012, in that Democrats might vote for her in the primaries simply because they don'��t like any of the alternatives. One such alternative, Bernie Sanders, has surprised some political observers by raising a significantly-large amount of cash is a relatively short time. Sanders might not become his party's nominee, but with the cash that he is raising, a weekend at Bernie'��s ought to be exciting.

Anyway, it is way too early to place bets on this presidential horse race. With any luck, maybe some of the entries will be put out to pasture. Trump already has a standing reservation waiting for him at the glue factory.

lol,,,to be fecetious

there have been alot of 'unwavering' men in history, but I wouldnt want them as president either

Really? Comparing Donald Trump to Hitler now? Shows how desperate the Democrats are.

Your right. Donald Trump doesn't waver back and forth and stands his ground on the issues and goes on the offensive not the defensive like all of the other Republican candidates do. He is one of the only true Conservative Republicans in the race.
