Perhaps it is a good thing that this campaign goes on for as long as it does. It takes a while to get to know someone, to study their associates and people who influence them, and to see patterns in their behavior.

Comments made start to disclose their true beliefs and attitudes. Those who follow or have strongly committed to the candidates will shrug off the discovered hypocracies, the absolute lies and radical positions of their closest associates. They will rationalize why this doesn’t matter or how the other candidates are worse.

The independents are the ones who are influenced by these revelations, and it is the independents who will decide this election. Neither Democratic candidate is impressing the undecided and the independent voter. The more they talk the more their true character is emerging.
