Of all of his proposals, Bernie Sanders’ platform regarding higher education — namely, making college free for everybody — has been the most widely discussed.

On his website, he lays out a six-part plan on how to make this happen:

The concept of debate and the presentation of opposing views in a public forum can be traced to the ancient Greeks as they discussed such things as the meaning of life, democracy and free will. With a mindset well stated by Aristotle that “an educated mind can entertain an idea without accepting it,” these philosophers and early statesman honed their rhetoric and debate skills in a civil but sometimes heated manner.

One of the greatest things about political speeches is that often what is said is the least important aspect -- it's what was ignored, how the message was presented, or even the demeanor and tone of the speaker that is most telling.

NEW YORK, March 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Happy Super Tuesday! As primary results start streaming in today, there is bound to be plenty of analyzing, spinning, and no small amount of arguing. Nine in 10 Americans (91%) feel political discussions today are angry and bad tempered, with nearly four in 10 adults (38%) describing them as extremely angry and bad tempered. What's more, most Americans feel this tonality is on the rise:

Let’s be clear on something. The way we do primaries is bad. There’s the saying that imitation is the best form of flattery. No one is imitating us. No flattery going on. We’re just doing a bad job.

Republican presidential candidate Donald J. Trump is dominating the GOP field right now, despite the fact that few took his candidacy seriously when he launched his campaign last summer. His anti-establishment appeal has not only won over many Republican voters, but despite having an unconventional campaign, he has one some high profile political  and business endorsements.

Here is a list of his biggest endorsements to date:

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie

Maine Governor Paul LePage (previously endorsed Gov. Christie)

In what should have been a much more widely reported news story, considering it was a $835 million settlement, Dow Chemical chose to settle a class-action suit rather than face the prospect of a tied court-- or even worse, a potential 5-4 liberal ruling under the next full SCOTUS.

Recent trends in the conservative court have been to limit class-action suits, but this has not been without detractors.

Super Tuesday (March1) is one of the most heavily covered events in the presidential election process. With over a dozen contests and a quarter of the delegates up for grabs on the Democratic side and nearly 30 percent of the delegates on the Republican side, Super Tuesday can pave a clear path to the nomination for the candidate who can win the most states.

NPR recently reported nationally on an interview between public radio reporter Jude Joffe-Block and campaign directors of two nonpartisan organizations on the state of elections in Arizona. Joffe-Block spoke with Patrick McWhorter of Open Primaries and Timothy Castro of Independents for Arizona, who argue that independent voters are not being treated fairly.

As the presidential election cycle ramps up, the usual polarizations are apparent: blue states and red states, Tea Party vs. liberals, and right-to-life vs. choice. The new anti-establishment trend has firmly established itself with Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump gaining unexpected support.

However, another trend has gone unexplored by campaign analysts: the lack of candidates from the West.
