WT# does Salon care who the republican nominee is? national review doesn’t give a dam who wins on the other side.
an interesting question.
on the D side, the leading candidates for that nomination are mostly all very similar in policies (Hillary, the wacky “leftist” substitute for Hillary some people are pushing, even Biden has mostly similar politics...his most significant difference being he occasionally says something truthful)
on the R side... there are significant differences in policies between, say, Bush or Chistie.......on the left....and Cruz or (to some degree maybe Rubio and maybe the governor of Wisconsin?) on the other hand.
SO, which D gets the nomination is probably not too important policy=wise. However, which R gets the nomination could really make a difference.
IMHO
