Not so sure about that. The Republicans will vote Republican, and the Democrats will vote their party line. They need to reach people like myself who consider themselves independent or Democrats that might switch.
I've already decided I am not going to give this too much consideration until the final candidates are chosen and go off into their final debates. Until then it's just noise.

The problem with politics is that there is a certain path to the White House, and certain boxes you must check. Most candidates are former or current mayors of large cities, governors, or Congressmen or Senators. On one hand Hillary has all of those boxes checked, and frankly, no one is more qualified to be President. But at the same time I wonder what would happen if we took a straight up businessman like Trump and put him in office.
Would a businessman like Trump be able to cut through the red tape and get shit done? Or would a businessman like Trump discover for the first time in their life that they are in fact not in charge, and when they want to get one thing done they discover that Congress or the House or the UN or World Community or the general US population refuses to go in that direction?
Talk Walker for example. Didn't he say he was going to have a two billion dollar surplus, but instead is still running a billion dollar deficit? It's easy to create goals, but once you get inside and you are in charge it's impossible to get anything accomplished. I mean... Imagine you are the CEO of your company, but nearly half of the people in your company do not believe in you or your goals. Then imagine that a percent of those people will intentionally fuck things up and try to blame them on you and your goals or policies. That's how our government works.
