I don't give a rat's ass WHO'S running in 2016 because...

21. Preparations maybe happening behind the scenes to a point

but no one is going to seriously announce anything until after the mid-terms. If they did it would hurt their candidacy. That's why I am saying the day after (or within a few days after) the mid-terms you'll see movement.

If someone started fundraising (other than an independent group, which I understand has already started) they would have to file forms at some point and that would become public record. As soon as it becomes public record, what do you think will happen? Reporters will jump on it. Now how much knowledge certain people have of independent groups fundraising on their behalf I don't know. It could be coordinated or maybe not.

My beef is that we not be TOLD who is going to be the nominee. I think we agree on that one.

In terms of the candidate, I have a feeling we'd probably be on the same page or very close.

I think people pushing a certain candidate are making a lot of assumptions based on things we don't know. If those people have a crystal ball I really would enjoy borrowing it because I need to find out who will win the Superbowl next year. I could use the money. Just saying.....
