Potential Republican presidential candidates are arguing among themselves about almost everything, from economics to social issues; it is hard to say which ideas and arguments will end up on top. The Democrats, by contrast, are in agreement on most issues, with one major exception: financial reform and the power of very large banks.
在现阶段两党之间的差异堪称泾渭分明。潜在共和党候选人正就一切议题进行内部讨论，从经济到社会事务无所不包；很难说究竟哪种理念和观点会最终夺魁。相比之下，民主党这边的议题也是包罗万象，只有一个最重要的例外：金融改革以及超大型银行的势力。
