The R's

The D's

An interesting forum. Not going to change anyone's minds, but fascinating to see how folks talk about their choices (and perhaps know very little about them) -- or get most of it 'from what I've heard' rather than specifics.



(From May 2015, but interesting compared to how things are changing today)

1. Oh yes, the focus group.

Where memes go to get tested.

But what got me is when they talked about the Clinton scandals and the answer was, sure they are there but it don't worry me because they all do it.
It shows just how cynical we have become.

2. This was a joke

Next time, they need to pick R's and D's that have been keeping up with whats actually going on in politics.

3. I guess that's supposed to be the point - Average Joes - Everyday Americans taking the

candidates out for a test drive. It's theater. Television is produced. A random sampling of 10 people is not necessarily a representative sampling.

those disturbing videos.

5. May is a long time ago. This is old!

It would be more democratic if the primary schedule was on a lottery system. Iowans should not always have the first primary. This focus group sure were out of touch with issues and policies. As if they were voting on "You Got Talent" or a dog show.
