The field will soon narrow when the Dems tell us how to vote for.
Duels would certainly thin the herd quickly...
RCP (Real Clear Politics) has about 15 people in it. The RNC rules sort of make sense, take the top 10 based on poll averages.
There is going to be a losers bracket debate in New Hampshire, too.
I think the debate situation will remove the vast majority of ‘players’. Once you clear the second debate....it’ll be strictly five people from that point on. I do think Cruz, Walker and Rubio will be giving five-star debate performances. Bush might do a marginal three-star job and survive. I also think Dr Carson might shock a few folks and get some high-points for debate skills. Beyond that....the rest are finished. Trump might throw five great ideas out there, but he’s just not that great at debates.
I didn’t see Fred Karger on that list. [snicker]
Cruz or we ALL lose.
Trump can impress the audience by having his running mate, Vice-President Orpah get everyone a brand new car.
“Duels would certainly thin the herd quickly...”
Duels are too risky. First you die, then you get knocked off the 10 dollar bill.
rofl. that’s funny,. What’s NOT funny is he didn’t rule out a third party run. That idiot will ruin Cruz’ chances.
Gonna be more like a lottery.
I want to have T-shirts made up that say “I running for the GOP nomination for President.” At the bottom it says “I can’t do worse than the idiot there now!”
In all seriousness, does anyone else see the path that would cause a brokered convention?
“Cruz or we ALL lose”

If we don’t thin out the field, sure
Ghaddafi used to give away cars
Random nobodies (example “Michael Kinlaw”) run every 4 years, they aren’t worth mentioning.
The fact that so many R’s are running and so few D’s tells me one thing: most of the inside people think the next president will be an R.
Interesting concept, but I don’t want to thin the herd til after Walker announces!
