That to me, leaves the following potential candidates:
Cruz
Rubio
Bush
Walker
Paul
Carson
Perry
Huckabee
Fiorina
Graham
The following might be crowded out — Santorum, Gilmore, Trump and Jindal
according to real clear politics these are the current top 10:
Bush
Walker
Rubio
Paul
Huckabee
Cruz
Carson
Christie
Perry
Santorum
Trump’s name recognition could well get him in there ahead of any not in the top 5.
Trump’s a faux candidate anyway.
What do you want to bet that Cruz does not make the cut. The media will do anything to cut him out.
