White House 2016. I 517 candidati
Lo so, lo so, quasi tutti pensano che i candidati alla Casa Bianca siano due, il democratico e il repubblicano.
Forse, sono addirittura convinti che una legge proibisca candidature diverse.
Pochissime persone sanno che invece corrono per White House, per dire, il Libertarian Party e/o il Green Party.
Tra gli anziani serpeggia il ricordo di un certo Ross Perot e quindi la vaga idea che anche un indipendente possa candidarsi.
Ecco, quindi, a chiarimento, quanti (cinquecentodiciassette) e quali sono i pretendenti a White House in questo 2016 (e, con ogni probabilità, me ne è scappato qualcuno).
Cominciamo coi candidati espressi (o in procinto di esserlo, come Jill Stein per i Verdi) da partiti, sia pure assai (assai) differentemente strutturati.
Nei casi in cui la nomination non è ancora ufficiale, per quanto praticamente certa, il nome è seguito da ‘presumptive’:
Democratici: Hillary Clinton (presumptive)
Repubblicani: Donald Trump (presumptive)
American Party/American Independent Party: Tom Hoefling
American Freedom Party: Bob Withaker
Constitution Party of United States: Darrell Castle
Constitution Party of Idaho: Scott Copeland
Green Party: Jill Stein (presumptive)
Independent American Party: Farley Anderson
Libertarian Party: Gary Johnson
Party of Socialism and Liberation: Gloria La Riva
Prohibition Party: Jim Hedges
Socialist Party: Emidio Mimi Soltysik
Socialist Equality Party: Jerry White
Socialist Workers Party. Alyson Kennedy
Veteran Party: Chris Keniston
Workers World Party: Monica Moorehead
(Il Reform Party sta ancora cimentandosi nelle primarie).
