Whoa. You're right, Stein has a better chance, just because people know who she is. So much of it is "popularity" or "name recognition". It's sort of like everything else --- what has the greatest "name" recognition, gets picked. (And they say evil marketing people don't rule the world. ;-) )
When I was looking up the candidates to put on the poll last night....which was around 11:30 at night (still wired from book club), I had great aspirations. I thought, I know, I'll list all the possible candidates. Then, I did a little research....Oh dear lord, this is reminding me of hunting for new books to suggest for book club at Barnes and Noble. And, I think there are more candidates running for president of the US than there are recently released books in paperback on display at Barnes and Noble.
The list went on forever. I gave up after 40.
Quite a few of the Republicans have dropped out already. Former Governor of NY, Pataki, withdrew a month or so ago. I remember thinking at the time..."wait, you were running?" Apparently he withdrew due to lack of interest, and I thought, yeah, nobody knew you were running.
Bloomberg's threatening to run - which scared my book club, but amuses me greatly, because a lot of my co-workers who are supporting Trump (because he's a business man) would leap over to Bloomberg (because he's a more qualified businessman).
