The 2016 Presidential Election season moves microscopically forward – the Republican Tea Party (GOTP) clown car continues to pick up occupants, currently 16 at last count – fast approaching critical mass – while the Democratic Party drags along, picking up few contenders.

Where are things as we move into the first July of the 2016 campaign season?
Nationally, a CNN/Opinion Research Poll, conducted by telephone of “registered voters” from June 26 to 28, 2015
Has the GOTP Clown Car lining up thus:
Jeb Bush leading the pack at 19%
Donald Trump (interestingly enough for a xenophobe) at 12%
Mike Huckabee 8%
Ben Carson and Rand Paul 7%
Scott Walker and Marco Rubio 6%
Rick Perry 4%
Ted Cruz, Chris Christie, and Rick Santorum 3%
John Kasich and Bobby Jindal 2%
Carly Fiorina and Lindsey Graham bringing up the rear at 1%
On the Democratic side, the same poll has:
Hillary Clinton still way out in front with 58%
Vice-President Joe Biden 17%
Bernie Sanders at 15%
Martin O’Malley and Jim Webb 2%
Lincoln Chafee at 0%.
According to a CNN/Opinion Research Poll, if the General Election was today:
Clinton 59/Trump 39
Clinton 57/Walker 40
Clinton 56/Rubio 40
Clinton 55/Christie 39
Clinton 54/Bush 41
The poll did not ask voters about a match-up between Clinton and Carson, Huckabee, Perry, Kasich, Fiorina, Santorum or Graham.
According to recent polling data available, if the election was today Hillary Clinton would be the 45th President of the United States, and the others would still be footnotes in history books.

Rolling, rolling, rolling – The 2016 Presidential Election season rolls on – the Republican Tea Party (GOTP) clown car continues its wild ride while the “Scooby Mobile” has competition from Bernie Sanders.

Where are things in these early moments of the 2016 campaign?
Nationally, a Fox News poll continues to prove just how big of a joke the so-called news agency and its’ viewers are, declaring, among other comical tidbits, that Mike Huckabee – the snake oil salesman of miraculous diabetes cures, is “seen as more ethical than most,” of all the GOTP candidates.
The “poll,” conducted by telephone of “registered voters” from 9-12 May 2015, has Jeb Bush tied with Ben Carson at 13% each, Scott Walker 11%, Mike Huckabee 10%, Marco Rubio 9%, Rand Paul 7%, Ted Cruz and Chris Christie 6%, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum and John Kasich at 2%, while Bobby Jindal and Carly Fiorina bring up the rear at 1%.
On the Democratic side, the same “poll” has Hillary Clinton in a commanding lead of undeclared candidates with 63%, followed by Elizabeth Warren (who has declared she is not running) at 13%, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders 6%, Jim Webb 2% and Martin O’Malley at 0%
This same so-called “poll” – if used to see how things stack up if the General Election was today – has Bush overcoming a double-digit deficit from a month ago beating Clinton – no bias of course from a “news” organization like Fox News. In fact, according to Fox News, all of the GOTP contenders suddenly have overcome devastating numbers to all become contenders against Hillary – at this point, nothing but a dream Fox, nothing but a dream.
Bush 45/Clinton 44
Clinton 47/Huckabee 44
Clinton 48/Walker 42
Clinton 47/Rubio 43
Clinton 48/Cruz 43
Clinton 48/Carson 42
According to recent polling data available, if the election was today Hillary Clinton would be the 45th President of the United States, except for one group, which thinks Jeb Bush should be president, and the others would be footnotes in history books.

The 2016 Presidential Election season rolls on, and the Republican Tea Party (GOTP) clown car spins and swerves from one fantastic tale to another while former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton is driving her “Scooby Mobile” into New Hampshire this week.

The 2016 Presidential Election season is rolling, and the Republican Tea Party (GOTP) clown car has lurched away from the curb with the junior senator from Texas, Ted Cruz at the wheel. The junior senators from Kentucky and Florida, Rand Paul and Marco Rubio have joined Cruz on this political joy ride. Opposing this dynamic trio of right-wing idiocy is former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton – who announced her candidacy on Sunday.

So, where are we thus far in the early moments of the 2016 campaign?
In the New Hampshire Republican Presidential Primary, a REACH Communications poll of “registered Republicans and Undeclared” voters conducted 08-09 April 2015, has Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker leading pack of GOTP candidates and likely candidates. Scott Walker 23%, Jeb Bush 17%, Rand Paul 15%, Ted Cruz 9%, Marco Rubio and Ben Carson 7%, Chris Christie and Mike Huckabee 6%, Rick Perry and Carly Fiorina 2% and Rick Santorum not registering any measurable level of support.

Here we go, the 2016 Presidential Election season has officially started! The Republican Tea Party (GOTP) clown car has lurched away from the curb with the very junior senator from Texas, Ted Cruz at the wheel. Cruz announced his intention to win the White House at uber-right-wing Liberty University to a packed house of students required to attend the rally or face a fine. Nothing quite says “liberty” like forcing students to attend a political rally.
So, where are we in the early moments of the 2016 campaign?
