On one end of the spectrum, Trump is rising. On the other, Bernie Sanders.

What the heck does it all mean?

[Ron Green]

1. It means people are tired of politics as usual.

We can hope the sanity of one message will trump the insanity of the other.

[HereSince1628]

13. Yes, but what the heck makes that exhaustion look so different?

The junk bond/junk real estate development class has no business in charde of moving the recovery forward.

2. Like Rachel Maddow says....

a really fascinating election.

[Agschmid]

10. This.

[Fred Sanders]

3. That voting is hundreds of days away, media exposure is important and polling in July means little?

So..the same old.

[wyldwolf]

4. it means the same thing on opposite sides of the spectrum.

[daleanime]

12. Equating infrared and ultraviolet....

will get you failing grades.

[libdem4life]

5. They both "tell it like they see it" no holds barred and they are 110% sincere. It was inevitable.

just didn't think I'd see it in my lifetime. The two parties are archaic, each in their own huddled and muddled way.

Or, it could be that we need a parliamentary form of government, like many others, to create coalitions, etc. There goes the Electoral College.

It is fascinating...we could have a Socialist Democratic Party and a Uber Right Party...that would make four!!! Maybe a couple of other ones...say, the Leave Us Alone Party and the Who Gives a Shit Party. There are political equivalents to those parties way back when.

6. this is my favorite option, Trump vs Bernie

just couldn't get any better

[TheNutcracker]

7. It means no one is excited about an establishment Bush/Clinton race.

That is exactly what it means. Jeb and Hillary know this too. Just a current fact that has been acknowledged since the beginning.

[pnwmom]

8. It doesn't mean that bad hair is suddenly in?

For my sake, I was kinda hoping.

[Indepatriot]

9. Everyone knows that "no" hair is in...(that's what I've been telling myself)

[Agschmid]

11. Haha.

[Buns_of_Fire]

14. It means that much hilarity will ensue!

This election season stands a good chance of being more entertaining than when Marsha got hit in the face by a football on The Brady Bunch or when Honey Boo Boo accidentally blew up all of downtown Beaver Bend, Oregon!

[DanTex]

15. It means nothing. In the end, both will fade away. It's just primary noise.

[EL34x4]

16. What's strange is I keep meeting people who like both...

...Bernie Sanders and Rand Paul.

Go figure...

[pnwmom]

17. Yes, and people here often say that their right-winger friends like Sanders. I don't get it.

Maybe some people just like the sound of angry voices, and don't bother to listen to the very different content of what the two men are saying.
