US Democratic Campaign Discussion

[Capstan]

We have a thread about Republicans running for president, so it seems fair we have one about Democrats too. This should be easier, because there are fewer Democrats running.

I'll start.

Here's a TV campaign ad for Bernie Sanders that will start showing in Iowa today (Jan. 22,) ahead of the Feb. 1 caucus. A slightly revised version will play later in New Hampshire, before the primaries there. Some have criticized this advertisement for showing few black people, Latinos, Asians, etc.- for being too "white" in color. Also, the Sanders' headquarters has said, the use of the song, "America," while properly licensed, does not necessarily mean Simon and Garfunkel endorse Senator Sanders.

Just out of curiosity, do we really need multiple separate threads for discussing the 2016 presidential election? Couldn't they all be merged into a single thread so we don't have to keep jumping from thread to thread to discuss, say, Trump vs. Sanders or what one candidate says about the other?

OK by me.
