"most democrats I know say Kasich is their favorite Republican candidate" Yeah, but they still prefer the Dems. That isn't gonna change.

"These names won't even matter after Clinton gets into office for her second time." As I said before, I doubt Hillary will win. Out of curiosity, why do you think she will?

"Moderate democrat = average European center-right
Extremist democrat = average European center/center-left."
SPOT ON!

I still say Cruz has the nomination locked up but only because the establishment is gonna have to chose between the demon or the devil

Cruz Is not as classic liberal ( otherwise known as a libertarian )

Explain please

"He is pro free speech, he wants a small government, and he believes in theocracy and oligarchy"

Fixed that for you

Theocracy? .....yeah sureeeeeeeeeeee. Classical liberalism is now called libertarianism. Cruz, is not a libertarian by far

he believes in theocracy and oligarchy

lol really hitchslap? Even you know that's false.

I'm socialist? Lol wtf? XD

are you really this stupid?

Asmodeus guess what I am an evil Socialist supporting Tumblr! mwahaha!

XD I love it XD

Socialism is not evil. in my opinion no Belief system is purely evil only the outcomes can be. Socialism has some very good ideas just like Republicanism but either one by themselves turns either into a dictatorship ( socialism ) or a dying Democracy where class warfare rains and eventually the crash of the nation happens ( Republicanism )

I actually believe and Athenian-style direct Democracy could work today in many places due to communication improvements, and replace the Republican system. Maybe not America, but in Europe and the like

General I agree with you, a very direct democracy (like in Athens) could work, in a small/local scale, like each city having a kind of council/parliament, but that would mean we need to dismantle every existing nation. This could be implemented in the future who knows.

Personally, I like the republic

I did am Athenian style while at AOE. it's also known as supervised Democracy

The debate proved my points. Cruz made a run at trump and bested him

Gotcha

who do you all want for president and why?

Cruz, he's the most conservative, and although I like Paul he isn't good enough on foreign policy
