"Supporters say providing legal status for the undocumented would bring people out of the shadows and ensure that they are working and paying taxes."

i think that this could really help us out cause then they would know that they are actually working for what they earn and so they actually pay taxes

"The White House is downplaying its draft proposal as merely a backup plan if lawmakers don't come up with an immigration overhaul of their own. It won't be necessary, Republican and Democratic lawmakers alike are telling the Obama administration."

"Hillary Clinton would be a nearly invincible force, Democrats and Republicans agreed today, should the Secretary of State validate rampant speculation that she will mount a second presidential run when she steps down from her administration post early next year."

I think it would be interesting to see her run for President in 2016. Only issue I foresee is that people will target her because of Bill Clinton.

President Barack Obama rode a wave of broad support from minorities, women and moderates to win re-election Tuesday by defeating Republican challenger Mitt Romney in Democratic strongholds and key battleground states.

From NBC: http://nbcpolitics.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/11/06/14976592-victorious-obama-more-determined-in-face-of-challenges?lite

(CNN) -- While President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney were ostensibly responding to questions from uncommitted voters at a town hall-style debate on Tuesday, they found plenty of opportunities to attack each other during the 90-minute encounter.

Romney was doing fine, until he opened his mouth. "When you're explaining, You're losing"

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?

MEXICO CITY - Mexicans responded angrily to what they saw as a weak performance by President Enrique Peña Nieto, who appeared to let Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump emerge unscathed from a meeting Wednesday. Peña Nieto tried gamely to take the high road and avoid arguing with Trump, who didn't waver an inch in his plans to build a wall along the two countries' border.

Almost four months after saying he would give $1 million of his own money to veterans' causes, Republican candidate Donald Trump moved to fulfill that pledge on Monday evening -- promising the entire sum to a single charity. Trump said in an interview Tuesday that he pledged the $1 million to the Marine Corps - Law Enforcement Foundation.

But for all his talk of terrorism, Russia and other geopolitical challenges, the underlying argument he wanted to make was clear: it's a serious business being commander-in-chief and the Republican who wants his job isn't fit for the Oval Office.

US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has insisted Mexico will pay for a border wall "100%", in a major immigration speech. He told a rally in Arizona that he would secure the US borders and millions of undocumented immigrants could be subject to deportation.

"The Libertarian candidate for president, Gary Johnson, said on Sunday he "might actually run the table on all this" and win the White House in November, thanks to "the polarisation of Clinton and Trump"."

I doubt this will ever happen, but if it did it would be absolutely ludicrous. I'm almost positive there hasn't been a 3rd party winner since George Washington

re:Tanner I am not betting on a 3rd party win, but I do think this will be a big year for their vote totals. Technically Abraham Lincoln was a 3rd party (split from the Whigs to form the Republican party)

Twice in the past 16 years, a Republican candidate who finished second in the popular vote has won the presidency. This year, Donald Trump won the electoral vote with about 46% of the popular vote, while Hillary Clinton received about 48%.

A federal judge on Monday issued a stinging rejection of a Green Party-backed request to recount paper ballots in Pennsylvania's presidential election, won by Republican Donald Trump, and scan some counties' election systems for signs of hacking.

After House Speaker Paul Ryan officially swore in the 115th Congress Tuesday, he began an hours-long photo op with members and their families. Newly-minted Rep. Roger Marshall, a Kansas Republican, got more than he bargained for in his photo.

President Obama will meet behind closed doors Wednesday morning with congressional Democrats to map out a strategy to defend the Affordable Care Act and other health care policies - the very day Republicans will begin debate on getting rid of the sweeping 2010 health-care law.

Obamacare has done nothing for us. Prices are through the roof. its not affordable at all. You cant keep your health insurance company. They tell you who you have. Drugs are more expensive. We need a full repeal and replace!

Maybe Obamacare has ruined things in our country but there is also a lot of positive things it has done.

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.), the chairwoman of the House Republican Conference, announced her support for Donald Trump's presidential campaign late Wednesday, leaving House Speaker Paul D. Ryan as the last major GOP leader on Capitol Hill not to back Trump. I think she is right. Trump has one people over for speaking his mind, but now he has to show that he has the "temperament for the job."

One of the most important jobs of the president is to form diplomatic relationships with other countries. Given Trump's plans for solving the debt crisis and building his infamous wall, it seems unlikely that he would be able to work well with other countries. I believe that it is foolish to back Trump for president because he is all over the board and has yet to prove he is capable of such a position.

I think she refused to debate because she knew she would lose

Declining to participate in the Fox News debate -- which Sanders had agreed to -- is another clear sign that Clinton and her top aides are fully focused on the general election against Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee.

The Democratic and Republican presidential front-runners laid out a potential fault line in what would surely to be a heated general election clash after they both swept much closer to closing out their party nominations. Clinton relished a chance to lay into Trump in her victory speech in Philadelphia after winning four out of the five Northeastern primary contests.

Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, captured two states -- West Virginia and Nebraska -- as voters continue to flock to the New York billionaire. Exit polls in both states painted a picture of conservative voters eager for outsiders in Washington.

Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump speaks at a rally in Arkansas on Wednesday night, and accuses his closest rival Ted Cruz of using voter fraud and dishonest tactics to win Monday's caucuses in Iowa after the Texas senator unexpectedly beat Trump by 3%

He blames Ted Cruz of voter fraud because he saw this thing that might have been government related that said he told people Ben Carson was out of the race and not to vote for him anymore even though he was still in the race and Donald says that wasn't fair to Carson let alone everyone else because people would of voted differently if they knew Ben Carson was still in the race
