Is this election really between Hillary and Bernie?

Kind of seems like it. No one I know is even taking the Repug. candidates seriously.

But the real debate is on issues between the 2 top Democrats. And the competition between those two is fierce.

Democrats don't have to worry until after June 2016.

However, I'm certain both the Clinton as well as the Sanders campaign have their people watching the Republican presidential candidates. If they aren't, they should.

No matter who the Republicans nominate, things just don't look good for them. Their most visible members of Congress are showing the voters they're only good at two things, generating fake scandals, and pretending to repeal Obamacare. Their presidential candidates see deeply committed to the principles of non-governance, destroying things in the name of fixing them, and lusting to invade another small, helpless nation. Any Democrat has good odds against any Republican this time, so Clinton and Sanders both know they can win, but they have to get past the primaries first.
