Three months ago, $5Au posted some thoughts on the 2016 Presidential Sweepstakes. Time for a status report. On the Blue side, Hillary continues her relentless push towards the nomination. $5Au almost used the word "methodical," but foot-in-mouth disease caused Hillbaby a few awkward moments, i.e., pleading "poverty." Also, journalist, Ed Klein is at it again with another Clinton expose. Unlikely that anything he has to say will stick. Indeed, the timing of his book might help HRC to some extent in distancing her from an increasingly unpopular Obama. Unhappiness with the Clinton machine has brought about cries for that famous Native American, Elizabeth Warren, to run. One can only guess how many private dicks Billary has hired to follow her around and sniff out dirt. Thus far, Warren has played it cool. Meanwhile, Nobel and Oscar winner, Algore continues to rake in the climate "disruption" bucks. He would be the biggest threat to HRC if he gets in the game. That leaves Uncle Joe. He knows he can't win, but he genuinely loves the big stage. He'll run.

Now for the Divided 'Ol Party, sorry Grand Old Party. No big changes. Likely to run are Cruz, Paul, Christie, Perry, Rubio, and Stassen, I mean Santorum. Add to the list Dr. Ben Carson, no doubt the most intriguing candidate, and someone who seems to have a very devoted grass-roots following much like Rand Paul. Carson says he will decide after the mid-term election. Less probable candidates include: Walker, Kasich, Pence, Jindal, and Jeb. Returning to Carson for a moment. In the last three months, he has appeared on practically every talk show that will have him, even some that are hostile. He's handled tough questions well, which might serve as very good debate prep for 2016. Perry and Christie have also entered the lion's den, so to speak, and come out unscathed. For Perry, perhaps he's solved his sleeping problems or maybe it really is the glasses.

One final observation is that more and more Hollywood types have summoned the courage to speak up about the nonsense going on with this White House. Obviously, the ones still active as actors are putting their careers at risk.

What observations can you add? Or, if you disagree, please explain why.
