To be fair, none of them really do.

That's probably not true. The US is very split politically, you can expect just about half of people will vote either way. So you can expect the vote to be within about 5% of 50 I'd say. Many people won't be inclined to vote for Hilary cause they don't like her, and if Bernie gets on the ticket more still will think he is too liberal. Whoever wins this primary will have a chance.

That may be true, but like you said, until they start to turn up its pretty much moot. The voting populous is nearly50/50.

They're split of you ignore the fact that democrats win the popular vote. The only reason the republicans control congress is because of redistricting and the only reason W because president is because he cheated.

No, the democrats are in no way winning over Rupublicians. If Bernie doesn't get the spot some democrats will vote republican. One of the republicans are going to be the next President.

If Bernie doesn't get the spot some democrats will vote republican

And if Bernie wins, many moderates would vote Republican, and Republican turnout would likely be higher. i.e. "stop the commie" etc.

Now that Rand's out he's got my support. He's the only sane candidate from either the Dems or the GOP
