I say lean yes. It's mostly just "Democrat/Democrat vs. Republican/Republican" and "x person 2016" and "...and now x Republican said y stupid thing" threads, without much factual information going around.

Presidential election boards are always trash.

It's a good thing I don't give a sh*t about them for 3.5 years.

We're a bit early in the cycle. Nonetheless I stick to the tea leaves thread and ignore the rest of it.

You think this is bad? You should have been around for the start of the 2008 board. Topics about Mark Warner blanketed everything.

How could it be otherwise? It was created long before anybody with an iq over 50 could have conceivably take an interest in the matter.

There shouldn't even be a 2016 board... ever.

I'd rather it be isolated in its own board than pollute others.

From what I've heard of the start of the 2008 board, and what I remember of the start of the 2012 board, it's better than either of them. Not a high compliment, but still.

     I have those boards collapsed, so I don't have to subject myself to the inanity. I'll probably uncollapse it come late 2015.

Are you saying political junkies have low IQs?  If so, you may be correct. Tongue

X Republican saying Y stupid thing is factual, and its almost on a daily basis.....


With that being said, its simply too early to have any real in depth discussion on 2016 and it likely will be mostly fluff until after the Midterms.

And with Andrew abandoning the Atlas I'm sure you and BK are enjoying the board more than ever Smiley

What could possibly enable the 2016 board to get off to a good start?

Not all political junkies, just the ones on the 2016 board

Well, considering the 2016 campaign has seemingly already started, it's not too early, really.

Real political junkies don't pay close attention to that election yet.
