I have been watching the start of the race for the "White House", reading
what little news we get about it over here.

It seems that you are going to get only two choices, one from each party,
are there no others that appeal?

Do you never have independent politicians standing for the Presidency, must
they always be the ones chosen by the parties?

I know very little about your American Politics, though some did try to explain
it to me here, a few years ago.

Does money always determine who is chosen?

Can a charismatic candidate ever be chosen over the one that can afford the
TV Ads and have a big retinue of volunteers that knock doors?

To me from a distance there seems to be no rules or control, a fairer system
would be to make a limit an the amount allowed to be spent on any campaign.

You all must accept it as it is or there would be a lot of noise to get it changed.

I will keep watching as things unfold.

I hope that you get who you want and that they are a good and fair President.

There are always independents or those in other parties who run, but they would never get elected.

I think we get a lot of coverage here. BBC covers a lot. Personally, I'd like them to stop running so many news stories on Trump.
 
Thank you very much Ameriscot for enlightening me with
that list of candidates.

So it still looks like the mighty $ wins over charisma, except
that it didn't for Jeb Bush.

Money means more and better tv and other ads. People claim they don't like the negative ads, but the thing is, they work.
 
Money also funds what they call the "ground game." These are people who go door to door, make sure voters can get to the polls, phone banks, sign postings, local rallies, voter registrations, renting headquarters, among other things.
