Finchley 1959 - Explore new Perspectives

Once a rising star in the party, now just a failed Presidential Candidate. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal dropped out of the Republican Presidential Primary race this week. 3 down, 14 more to go. Governor Jindal was the latest victim of this unique race. And the third Governor in a row. Jindal stated that this wasn't his time, but in reality he had far bigger troubles than timing. He never succeeded to break out from the crowded field of Republicans and was always relegated to the Undercard debates which are viewed by a lot less people. People were just not very enthusiastic about him, that is if they knew about him. Jindal fell because the like of Trump and Carson rose. But honestly, he never really had that much of a chance in this race. Maybe years ago, but at least he tried. This is the year of outsiders, and Jindal is a firm insider. He has been involved with the Louisiana government for decades despite his young age, so he can't say that he is an outsider. He ...

Carly Fiorina out shined everyone once again. Wednesday saw the second Republican Presidential Debate take place at the Reagan Library in California. It was a glorious yet terrifying setting, as the candidates stood in front of President Reagan's plane, with which he effectively ended the Cold War.  Once again there were two debates, and once again there were two clear winners. In the second tier debate, a surprise victor emerged, Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. No one expected this, but it was a very clear victory in the end for the veteran. And in the main event of the night, there were several interesting performances, but Carly Fiorina clearly collected her second victory of the debate season. If you didn't do it so far, you definitely have to watch out for her from now on. Let's start with the earlier debate and say that it was much better than expected. It was a huge opportunity for the four participants, as they now had more ...

No, we are not talking about Hillary or Jeb here. They can by no means be called outsiders. They are the frontrunners and are expected to face off in November 2016. However, the road will be long and rugged, and a lot can happen. After looking at the Democratic candidates, in part 2 we will be taking a look at the candidates for the Republican ticket. And oh boy, there are a lot of them. Some silly ones too, but mostly real politicians, who have a chance, even if that is a veery slim one.  Governor Chris Christie. Christie just announced in the last couple of days, but he has been polling very well for the last couple of years. Even though Bridgegate has hurt his political momentum, the outspoken New Jersey Governor is perhaps the biggest challenger to Jeb Bush at this stage of the race. Christie is proud of his economic record and disaster control, and is more liberal than most of his contenders on issues such as immigration and same-sex marriage....
