Hillary though ... man. Does anyone really know what her stance on anything is? She's such a politician, and she's a hawk too. The scary thing is she's still way better than any Republican.
I truly feel sorry for the American electorate. The way they've had choice and an actual political spectrum stolen from them is shameful.
The one thing, and it's sad that this matters now, is that Ted Cruz doesn't look presidential at all. He absolutely looks like a smarmy politician, and as sad as it is that it might, I hope it costs him.

Five years ago I really wanted Hillary. Now I'm kind of terrified of her, I'm not sure I trust her foreign policy, and this country desperately needs to stop spending money on ill-advised wars that it can't win. That said, she sadly is a vastly better candidate than any of the republican front-runners.
All told, however, so long as this completely inept Congress is at the helm, nothing of real value is ever going to be accomplished. The President holds veto power, but if bills aren't even getting to the desk, there isn't much that he or she can do.
