I’m with you - shouldn’t we Republicans have a “the more the merrier” view at this point? If only the primary season could help define candidates like it did in the past. Look at the 1976 Democrat primary system. It had 23 participants and it took a LONG time for that to shake out - of course it yielded Jimmy Carter, oof - although he did win the general election.

Bring on Chris Christie, Sarah Palin and anyone else who wants to join this fandango. We are facing the most critical election of our lifetime - 4 more years of Obama is going to destroy our great country and probably make me close the doors of my small business. Let’s get everyone in the ring and see what they have, for crying out loud.

Agree totally, and not only do I want to see whoever else thinks they have a shot in there, I wouldn’t even care WHEN they jump in, even if it’s as late as at a deadlocked convention. I can’t figure out all these self-important amateur political strategists getting all upset because somebody isn’t declaring themselves a candidate when the armchair quarterback thinks they should.
