I'm interested to see how Bernie Sanders develops as a potential candidate. He seems like he actually cares and wants things to change, but there are a lot of hurdles in his way right now. | ||

Unless one of them was also the Republican candidate. Well, I'm kinda hoping he runs as an independent, which is really what would cause him issues. It's probably a bit of a disillusioned dream, but breaking away from the two party grid lock needs to happen. But as far as I'm aware, right now, he just doesn't have the funding and backing that any of the other definite candidates have. It's a bit awkward being a person who wants money out of politics. I really don't want to donate my money to campaigns or candidates, but that's sadly necessary for anything to get done.

I don't necessarily agree with all of his viewpoints, but I'm on board with a lot of what he says. I think he could do quite a lot of good in the office. Who knows, maybe this country is starting to open up to change. | ||

Ted Cruz is branded as so right wing that minorities and moderates will never vote for him, so even if he gets the Republican base enough on his side to win primaries he will lose in the general. Jeb Bush has the Bush name, which I feel like is still a big enough deal with people to just default cost him the election, but probably not as serious as Ted Cruz's issues. Christy is just known for being a corrupt asshole, and New Jersey likes him because that's the sort of people that New Jersey likes, but it won't work in the rest of the country. 2016 will be a pretty good year for Democrats, IMO. | ||

Is it all Baldur's Gate and related games or are there good books in that setting? (if you like D&D and haven't heard much about Sword Coast Legends, you should probably get on that) The Sword Coast is a pretty broad area. Waterdeep, Neverwinter, Luskan, and the Icewind Dale all technically count as part of the Sword Coast. Most of those are featured prominently in some R.A. Salvatore novel or another, and I think Waterdeep's had a supplement written about it in pretty much every edition. | ||
