In terms of the Republican candidates, they couldn't have possibly fielded a more offensive group. After Obama's two terms, this should be the Republicans election. Instead the people are being force fed a steady stream of the Donald and yet another Bush. And on the other side, we have Hilary. Yay for political dynasties.
Personally I think Biden ends up being the Dems guy.
Wish that Rand Paul would gain more traction for the Republicans. He seems to be the only one grounded in reality, and represents change, much like Sanders.

Rubio, Cruz, and Fiorina all seem like very smart people well-suited to governing.
Sanders says things that make us feel happy, but if you look at his statements on trade, he is just as loopy as the other side.
The problem now is that the American electorate is growing sick of being ruled by a well-defined set of technocrats. That is why you are getting outliers like Trump and Sanders.
