The field of Republicans contending for their presidential nomination does not present grandeur.; in truth, it's a pretty weak roster. Take a look at the top names:
--Jeb Bush (actually John Ellis, btw): lots of money, lots of friends, fading fast. His death knell was the inability to answer the most obvious question a three year old could have predicted. And conservatives now think poorly of his brother for spending too much (doughnut hole anyone?), and for the Iraq nation building fiasco. The dream of another Bush presidency is over.
--Scott Walker: the last guy who claimed that running a small state prepared him for the White House was Jimmy Carter; Walker's experience at solving big domestic problems is too limited. And when it comes to foreign policy, he's still in school in the remedial section. This, in a year when Republicans are concentrating on foreign policy debates because the economy is doing so well. Besides, he's got the raw charisma of a lumberjack.
--Rand Paul: the left loves him; he's their kind of conservative. That is, till they find out that his libertarian views don't only cut against the NSA, but insist that he dismantle the welfare state. Anybody care to repeal the Americans With Disabilities Act, a move he has advocated? Would you trust social security to his presidency?
--Chris Christie: never had a chance, even before Bridgegate....

The Huff spelled Jindal’s name wrong.
But ... for president???? As one of the many ‘governed’,
by mr. jindal, i am not impressed.
