Information from the debates should be cited as the first letter of the party debating (Republican or Democrat, so R or D), followed by a D for debate, followed by the debate number (if it was the first debate, a 1, the second debate, a 2, etc) For example, '''if I wanted to cite the Republican's third debate, I would cite it as (RD3)'''.

Any other websites unique and specific to information about your candidate, feel free to make up an acronym. '''Whatever acronym you use, be sure to list at the bottom of the wiki page accompanied by the link to said information.'''

=To Do Now=
 
−
Each candidate page should begin with a brief biography, their picture, a link to their campaign website, and then a summary of their stances on the following issues:
 
  
−
# Tax Reform
 
−
#Jobs and Business Policy
 
−
#Health Policy
 
−
#Drug Policy
 
−
#Middle East
 
−
#Trade
 
−
#Immigration
 
−
#Environmental
 
  
−
Make sure to get info from reliable source (their website, news, etc) and link that section of the wiki to the website '''(visibly cite your sources)'''. If their stance on an issue can't be found on their website, check what they say in debate transcripts, etc. The objective here is to get a large quantity of information about the candidates and organize it well. You can look at any of the in progress works if you want to see an example.

After we've filled out this lump candidate information, some potential courses of action include (prioritize something along the lines of this order):

Two most important things are:

−
*Linking debate transcriptions, possibly filtering them and pulling out what we think is important

*PredictIt Republican [http://www.predictit.org/Market/1233/Who-will-win-the-2016-Republican-presidential-nomination] and Democratic [http://www.predictit.org/Market/1232/Who-will-win-the-2016-Democratic-presidential-nomination] nomination data

Donald Trump continues to lead the GOP. His polls have risen steadily since late May 2015. Trump has held the Republican lead throughout the primary, excluding a brief period in November 2015 when Ben Carson rose within 1% of Trump. Since that spike, Carson's numbers have dipped, and the most recent poll numbers place Carson in fourth. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, polling second and third respectively, have both demonstrated gradual increases in poll numbers since September 2015. Starting the election process as a clear GOP front runner, Jeb Bush has experienced a gradual decline to under 5%. The remaining GOP candidates,including Christie, Kasich, Paul, Huckabee, Fiorina, and Santorum, are each polling below 4%. (USA)
 +
 +
Hillary Clinton polls as the Democratic front runner. She has maintained a lead in the polls since the beginning of her campaign. Her poll numbers dropped between July-September 2015, but have been on the rise since then. Bernie Sanders comes in second, with his numbers steadily on the rise since spring and summer of 2015. Martin O'Malley's numbers have remained relatively flat and have not risen above 5%. (USA)
