Many maintain that Sen. Bernie Sanders has low odds of becoming the presidential candidate for the Democratic Party, much less winning a general election. In spite of this, his platform and voting records are, by a considerable margin, the most thought-out and useful for women of any presidential candidate; many of his proposals are already in place in other developed democracies. The best example of this is paid family leave: Sanders has a clear way of paying for it, while Hillary Clinton’s plan is vague and doesn’t clearly outline who would foot the bill. It would be hard for Clinton to compete on policy alone. Thus far, her main edge over Sanders has stemmed from her name recognition and influence within the Democratic Party. A former advisor to President Obama, David Axelrod, even called the initial harsh penalties lobbied against Sanders for having access to Clinton’s voter data as “putting finger on scale” for Clinton.

Ever since the announcement of his campaign last summer, Donald Trump has been an unstoppable force in politics. Although most of his speeches are just ramblings about whatever controversial topic he feels like discussing that day, with nary a hint of a coherent policy in sight, many of his supporters like that he “speaks his mind.” Trump has had the privilege of high poll numbers and media attention despite his lack of experience in public service. But Trump’s campaign now faces a challenge that has felled many presidential campaigns in the past: the Iowa caucus.
