As I've already said, nobody cares about old scandals. You live in New York right? So did anyone care about Whitewater or Monica Lewinsky when Hilary ran for office? And I mean as in actually caring and not just mentioning it.

This is going to go nowhere because there is no way to measure how many people actually cared or not. You go ahead and keep choosing to feel like no one cares just because you don't and I will continue to keep choosing to believe that people do care.

People actually did bring back up the Monica situation but there is no way to tell if that affected whether or not she lost against Obama because of it.

This is going to go nowhere because you don't like Christie because he's a Republican.

No. I don't like Christie because he risked the lives of many people by shutting down a bridge to create traffic because the mayor of a town didn't want to support him. I couldn't care less that he is Republican.

I'd like to see this election come down to Bernie vs Trump.

Both are outsiders in their own parties, and both are forcing their respective parties to reevaluate their stances more than they've ever had to before.

Plus, I just don't want to see another Bush or Clinton establishment figure getting picked again.

What does this even mean? Neither of them will get past Super Tuesday and in all likelihood they won't even get that far.

Trump is forcing the Republicans to re-evaluate their stances on illegal immigration, a topic many of them are soft on.

Bernie is introducing more socialist rhetoric into the Democratic race, more so than any other candidate on the left at this point, and is starting to take the attention away from the Dems hand picked favorite, Hillary.

Essentially, both are upsetting the establishment figures within each party, and both have the poll numbers to back it up, even though Bernie still has some catching up to do with Hillary. People are tired of the party favorites getting all the attention, and are turning it to other candidates.
