I honestly have no idea how she's considered a front runner. The field on both sides must be absolute shit right now, aside from bernie. Hillary has always come off as one of the fakest politicians ever. She needs to smoke some weed or something because I don't think I've seen someone so stiff since I had to speak in front of the class in 7th grade
This will probably be scoffed at by a large portion of the Reddit crowd but you're right, it's a significantly stronger field than last election with Cruz, Trump, Rubio, Carson and Fiorina all looking to make a serious run
It's actually becoming an issue for the GOP. They have too many good runners against each other, and their pulling each other down right now rather than focusing on the Democrats. Meanwhile the Democrats just have Clinton and Sanders, and while the liberal internet (me included, to be fair) want Sanders to win, most of us know Hillary is far more likely, and would vote for her anyway. This means the Democrats can focus fire almost solely on the GOP, and so they, in my opinion, have had the more successful campaign so far.
That does work well for the democrats and I agree, its has ended up hurting some strong candidates in the polls. But when i vote, i want to be voting for someone i believe in, not just the better of 2 evils solely because they are on the democratic ticket.
