It seems to me that everyone presumed to be a potential candidate is fundamentally flawed. That's not "despite" the doom and gloom. I would think that IS the doom and gloom.
Life is like that. You have to make your choice from the flawed human beings who are actually IN the race.
Nobody is even in the race yet. But of all the contenders I believe that Sarah has the best chance of all of them to beat both 0bama and Hillary.
Things could change. Nothing is written in stone. But when I said that "I tire" of the sniping it is just this: you can be negative against every human who is or ever was. What I humbly suggest is that you find the best characteristics among the various contestants and champion something positive. That makes for a stronger Conservative movement. It doesn't pull our side down.
