A lot has happened over the last month or two regarding political candidates. Post the top 3 that you are really looking at right now. It's early in the process, and we can perhaps either update this thread or start a new one as the season goes on.
My personal favorites.
Marco Rubio
Carly Fiorina
Ted Cruz
The way that I view the democrat possibilities right now.
Hillary Clinton (The top as far as the DNC)
Bernie Sanders
Martin O'Malley
One other thing to think about... step back and look at the field of candidates on both sides.

It's easy to post the 3 democrat possibilities. Dem's don't have 16/17 people running.
1. Rand Paul
2a. Martin O'Maybe?
2b. Anarchy
With 20+ candidates running for President, you'd think more than 1.5 of them would be appealing.
R
1. Trump
2. Carson
3. Cruz
D
1. Sanders
2. Biden
3. Al Gore

So which is your favorite?
Quote:Sanders
Paul
Yolo Trump
Actually, the funny part is that I could honestly see Trump voters walking out of the ballot box shouting, "YOLO!" to justify their selection

I beat you to the post. neener neener
Paul's my front guy I'm warming to any GOP candidate not named Bush or Trump. If they win screw it go Bernie rather socialism then another war hawk or crony capitalist, the end must be near I just laid out a possibility of voting for an open socialist.......

Paul is pretty much the only non warhawk in the right. I'd vote for him.

You're not the only one. I don't particularly like Bernie Sanders, but I'm having a really hard time finding a GOP candidate other than Paul that I would take over him.
Is Deez Nuts still in the race? 15 years old or not, that's a candidate I'd stump for.

He came out in support of Bernie.
My favorites remain:
1. Ted Cruz. I have given him multiple campaign contributions and support him in other ways.
2. Mike Huckabee.
3. Rick Santorum
As for the Democrats, if Hillary's scandals finally catch up to her, I believe someone not currently in the race will be their nominee.
If Joe Biden becomes their candidate, I think Elizabeth Warren has a good chance of being asked to be his running mate. Warren might even emerge as their Presidential choice, since the Democrats have moved so far to the left.
Quote:Democrats have moved so far to the left.
Says the Republican whose top three are Cruz, Perry and Santorum.
Can all the candidates please quit and throw their support behind the Libertarian Party? Thanks. We'd appreciate it.

Even for those considered Moderate Republicans, not Conservative Republicans like myself, I find it difficult for them to perceive that the Democrat Party hasn't moved much further to the left than it was previously. Even some Bluedog Democrats have left the party because the party left them,

Oh, it has absolutely moved left. As far left as the Republican Party has right. Meanwhile, those of us who reside in the center are left picking the least extreme option we can find. I think the two least extreme options are Rand Paul and Martin O'Malley, and I'm not even sure I like O'Malley all that much. I sure do wish we had a centrist party for reasonable people to vote for.

If the Republican Party truly moved to the right, which I wish was the case, we wouldn't be dealing with the list in the opening post of the following thread:

From my perspective as a Conservative, the current Republican Establishment feels like a centrist party at best.

Then you don't really have a grasp of what "centrist" is.
Quote:Then you don't really have a grasp of what "centrist" is.
What I do have a grasp for is the party I'm registered in isn't representing Conservatism and the other major party in the United States has taken Liberalism to levels that I never could have envisioned even 10 years ago.
Only one favorite and that is Ben Carson.
He's the only one that I would currently vote for if the election was today.
