That's a cop out IMO. When referring to the 2016 presidential election most people know which Clinton is which.

A little more of a balanced view...I like that.

He's part of the campaign and otherwise quite visible, so no, it isn't always clear.

Is there a problem that Kasich hasn't already solved in O-hi-O?

He recently stepped up to the plate...no? Whereas she has...as far as I can remember...been referred to as Hillary.

No matter...I wil refer to her as Clinton...or Hillary Clinton.

Sounds like paradise on earth.

Our fellow BE'ers who live in Ohio are keeping it all to themselves.

I didn't hear but I hope so. In my mind, he's missed. He did an extended interview last night on MSNBC and I felt almost like I could vote for the guy,

His stage presence reminds me of the taxi driver a few years ago who turned up in reception at the BBC and was rushed in front of a camera.

He's got a couple of wacko plans but for the most part he's an intelligent guy and doesn't pander like the other candidates.
He's at least willing to stick his neck out there and criticise spending be it on military or welfare.

One interesting point from tonight:

It looks like (from the crowd's reaction at least) that the VP on the Republican ticket is nailed on to be Nikki Haley.

Unless Trump gets the nomination, of course .

He is completely clueless on everything! I don't think I heard any specifics from him at all tonight, just vague rambling. If I had to chose between one of those 7, it would be Jeb. Rubio completely turned me off tonight, especially in his closing statement when he said something along the lines of the country's success is a gift from God. Oh **** off!
