It's been a strange 2016 election cycle.
On the Democratic side, it's a contest between a former senator and secretary of state who should and could be indicted at any moment for shocking breeches of national security laws and an avowed socialist who once honeymooned in the Soviet Union.
Pick your poison.
On the Republican side, it's been a wild ride with Donald Trump dominating the news coverage and frequently displaying behavior unprecedented in presidential politics in modern times.
It's been brutally contentious, sometimes ugly and, at times, hilarious.
Technically, there are four candidates still in the hunt for the Republican nomination. But realistically, it's down to two from the original 17.
The Republican presidential nominee is going to be either Donald Trump or Ted Cruz.
While Marco Rubio has been spending money like a contender, he simply hasn't demonstrated that he is more than a place or show candidate - the Minnesota caucuses and the Puerto Rico primary notwithstanding. John Kasich seems like a two-state candidate - having spent more than $30 million and 60 days campaigning in New Hampshire for a second-place finish and hanging around for his home state Ohio vote in hopes of a win....

I’ve worried about the stability issue for a while. That last debate cinched it for me.
I think the GOPe know what we don’t. We CAN’T have this man for POTUS. It speaks volumes that they’d rather have Cruz, whom they hate, than Trump.
[I think Ted Cruz’s history demonstrates he has the clearest, most Reaganesque vision of where the country needs to go in its much-needed recovery from eight years of Barack Obama. Cruz is principled, sophisticated and a solid conservative whose understanding of and commitment to the Constitution is unshakeable]
And this is precisely why I support him! It is also why it is so shameful that FR has given a platform to those who are trying to destroy him. It is one thing to support Trump over Cruz (though I still don’t understand why any small government, constitutionalist conservative would). It is something entirely different to be in a mission to destroy Cruz as many Trump supporters here on FR seem to be. The level of Cruz bashing that has gone on here at FR has been unbelievable.
I’m a Cruz supporter and I do get it. If Cruz were leading the establishment would be supporting Trump to take Cruz out. Hint: their only hope is a brokered convention.
You say 'Republican' like that's a good thing.
Cruz is their only chance for a brokered convention.
I have never seen such a load of immature bs in any political
session
Yep - and it's a bit disturbing as he parodies those who claim Trump hasn't a chance to win in November.
