2016 General Election will be really really really boring.

Because we know too well the two most "inevitables candidates"

GOP side. Bush the Third.
Dem side. Clinton the Second.

Welcome to the United State Kingdom!!!!

Maybe should you do a revolution in reverse...and reestabish a Monarchic -Parlementarian regime??

However. .. Happy New Year to all DUers!!!!

True, he might have some problems in the primaries, but ultimately, he has the big money donors behind him. He's another Romney, IMO.

There will be enough phony conflict to keep the booboisie entertained and frightened. You don't get them to send in their hard-earned money with "boring." You need to scare the bejeesus out of them. So Democrats will portray Jeb as the devil incarnate. Republicans will portray Hillary as the devil incarnate. Meanwhile, Jeb and Hillary will go to a clambake at some posh location, maybe Walker's Point, and have a good laugh.

many state and local elections, it will be as boring or as invested as you want to be. The presidency is such a small part of the picture that it's a shame that's all 99% of the people focus on and most of the ones that do focus on local politics are Republican.
