We’ll have plenty of time between now and May 2016 to sort out the sheep from the goats.
No, we won’t.
We CANNOT have a repeat of 2012, where we hopped from one bandwagon to another, a divided mess. This happened in 2008 as well, and the net result is we have had CRAPPY candidates.
This process has to happen fast. The declared candidates so far are Ben Carson and Dennis Michael Lynch, and in the next couple of months, expect to hear the announcements of the major nominees. They won’t want to wait to fundraise.
Rick Perry has just parroted this line from Walker, and I take it as a green light that he is running. With his blowout victory, Kasich is likely to run, as is Krispy. Jeb, I don’t know about yet.
Paul is definitely running. Cruz seems like he is running.
Right there you have 8 candidates and that is not including likely runs by other governors as well.
