This is ridiculous. I think we should set a cap on how much money can be spent running for office, since (in my opinion) a lot of the money that goes into campaigns is wasted. My family has actually received multiple DVDs in the mail from a few different political parties (mostly Republican and Tea Party, I believe). When campaigning gets to the point where parties are paying for movies to be produced - one of them was about how Obama is a Communist - and paying for what is presumably thousands of DVDs to be mailed, something needs to be changed.

It goes to show how close of an election this is. I mean people are very in depth on who are next leader should be if they raised this much money!

I got one of these, I looked at it, and pretty just looked at the description. Who cares if his real father is a communist?

The wounds from one of the fiercest election campaigns in American history were still raw Thursday as the campaign teams for President-elect Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton clashed while offering their behind-the-scenes perspectives at a Harvard University forum. At one point, Clinton campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri told Trump's team, "I would rather lose than win the way you guys did."

Just as the city of Charlotte, N.C., gears up to host the Democratic National Convention, an atheist group is mounting a billboard campaign attacking the religious faiths of President Obama and GOP challenger Mitt Romney.

I find it rather hypocritical of the Christian Pastor to say it's never appropriate to insult another person when Christian ad campaigns quite frequently do just that. Objectively, this ad campaign is no more offensive than many campaigns launched by fundamentalist Christians. I fully agree with Silverman's quote, "We are not a Christian nation; we have never been a Christian nation and we never will be," although I would change it to say that we are not a religious nation. Religion needs to be taken out of political discussions, and people who try to bring it into politics need to wake up and realize that Church and State are separated and they can't force their beliefs onto other people.

Had I been in Cullinan's position, I would have handled the request the same way he did because, morally, I believe it is wrong to advertise something that is expected to, and probably intended to, offend a group of people based on their religious beliefs. However, freedom is speech IS a huge component in our society. Whether we like to think it is or not, our government can't be, and isn't, based purely on morals.

Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski says that the candidate isn't afraid of Thursday night's debate. "He's not afraid to take a question," he told ABC's George Stephanopoulos on "Good Morning America." "The issue is an issue of fairness," he added, claiming that Fox News anchor Megyn...

Donald Trump's campaign manager is saying that Donald trump is not afraid of losing the caucus because there is never a fair debate and he will still run and answer all the questions people throw at him.

I think that Trump is pulling out of the debate, not because he's intimidated, but I think it may be a way of seeing how many supporters he has. At the end of the article, it says that there is expected to be substantially less viewers. I'm thinking that this is Trump's way of seeing how many suporters he has now, and see how hard he has to work in the future to get more suporters.

"When Iowa reporters asked Sen. Chuck Grassley on Wednesday about the attempt to repeal and replace Obamacare, his answer was remarkable and revealing. "You know, I could maybe give you 10 reasons why this bill shouldn't be considered," the Iowa Republican said. "But Republicans campaigned on this so often that you have a responsibility to carry out what you said in the campaign. That's pretty much as much of a reason as the substance of the bill.""

"There is a web of connections between the Trump campaign, the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks and the public disclosures it injected into the presidential campaign. Federal investigators are examining some of these relationships and whether any of them were part of an effort to coordinate with Russia's election-meddling efforts."

Hillary Clinton defended herself Monday against charges her campaign lacked transparency about her health, saying she's "already met a high standard of transparency" in disclosing her health records and plans to return to the campaign trail "as soon as possible."

"When they go low," Clinton says on the campaign trail, "We go high," her supporters shout back. In 2008 and 2012, President Barack Obama's campaign aides anointed Michelle Obama "The Closer." This year, Hillary Clinton may well designate her most popular surrogate the starter, the reliever and the pinch-hitter, too.

The first lady, Michelle Obama has been known for her ability to persuade and has since been called "the closer" for her husbands previous campaigns. Just recently Mrs. Obama opened up with sexual assault cases against Trump, (not to her of course but past charges or claims). Thus being the second time this year alone that Michelle has connected with her audience and left her point clear with support.

In her speeches you can tell she is very passionate about what she is saying. She is a democrat so many will say she's only taking Hillary's side because of that, but it goes deeper than that. She believes that Hillary winning will have people standing up against Trump and his bad comments towards women. She doesn't think that what he says is an okay thing for anyone to say, especially someone who might become our president.

Hillary Clinton and her allies have begun preparing a playbook to defeat Donald Trump that will attempt to do what his Republican opponents couldn't: show that he's unfit to be commander in chief.

I find it interesting they are essentially coming up with a play by play book on how to defeat Donald Trump, this makes me wonder what Donald Trump is going to attempt to do to beat Hillary/counter her play book.

I find it comical that Hillary and her campaign refuse to debate Sanders due to him being 'too harsh' or whatever they said, yet still think they could handle Trump's no-limit attacks. In comparison, Bernie has kept it completely PG and Trump will pull every card he knows possible to tear her down.

Hillary Clinton, who officially announced her 2016 presidential campaign on Sunday, has already hit the road to the White House -- literally. The newly-minted candidate, has embarked on a road trip to Iowa, the first major stop on a nationwide tour. But she will apparently be making a few pit stops along the way.

"Voters go to the polls in Florida, Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio on Tuesday. Here's what to watch in those contests:"

I feel that Donald Trump and Hillary will be the winners of their respective parties. I feel that Cruz will drop out of the race and support Trump for the rest of the campaign.

Sanders will probably win a few in the midwest but I think Hillary will stay in front, trump as well. Cruz might drop out.

California Rep. Duncan Hunter is reportedly being questioned by the Federal Election Commission over his use of campaign funds to buy video games.

Almost $465m of outside money has been spent on the US presidential election campaign so far, including $365m that can be attributed to the supreme court's landmark Citizens United ruling, according to a report released on Monday.

Why don't we use this money to pay debt instead? This is just outrageous. 1 Nationwide debate and be done. We are in to much debt to afford this kind of foolish spending right now.

I never heard about the video it is really interesting how Romney tried saying what he said in private wasn't true and what he said in front of millions was what he really means! I THINK NOT!

The images on national news television this morning are of fire, flood, wind, rain, snow -- and also New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The two leaders of states devastated by Hurricane Sandy have been making frequent press appearances to inform the public and reassure beleaguered residents that help is on the way and areas devastated by Hurricane Sandy will be repaired.

On a campaign swing through Puerto Rico Tuesday, the former president was asked by a reporter whether he had any response to Trump's latest attack on Twitter -- alluding to his past infidelities and charging that he was the "worst abuser" of women in U.S. political history. "No.

Clinton going against her statements from previous campaigns yet again when she refused, also again, to debate with Democratic rival Bernie Sanders.

She blew Sanders off and said some mean stuff about Trump.

Clinton is a savage
