Bobby Jindal would be a good president, but he’s not a strong candidate at this point in his life. I’d like to see him quit as soon as he’s gained whatever national campaign experience he needs to better prepare for 2024, when President Cruz leaves office. For now though, he’s just splitting the conservative vote.
Similarly, I’d like to see Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum leave so they don’t split the conservative vote. They just aren’t national candidate material.
I don’t care if George Pataki, Lindsey Graham, John Kasich, and Jim Gilmore stay or not. They don’t have enough support to do any good or any harm.
As for Chris Christie and Marco Rubio, I hope they stay to split the pro-Amnesty big government liberal vote with Jeb.
I want Rand Paul to leave. He’s useful in the Senate but not going to win the White House. Like Jindal, he needs more experience to be effective on the national campaign trail.
That leaves Cruz, Trump, Carson, Carly Fiorina, a third-party candidate to be identified later, and then Rubio, Jeb, and Christie in that order.
Pretty clever analysis with many good and insightful points.
Good post.
I’ll disagree with you about Kasich. He’s a pro-amnesty big government liberal. He could easily be the elite backstabbers “plan B” if allowed to stay around and gain some traction before his record gets the scrutiny it deserves.

I like the way you think.
Cute post.
