I know Limbaugh is speaking more in the abstract here, but despite that fact that there is no such thing as a perfect candidate, this particular field seems more blemished than normal. On the one side, you've got the experienced guys who are exactly what we don't need -- insiders who are too vested in the "system" to change it. On the other side, those who are enough "outside" have shown themselves to be impetuous, undisciplined, and/or unprepared.
The only good news about all of this is that the latter group can be fixed. But they're running out of time as the primary season's start is next month.

I agree, with one caveat: the “outsiders” may be impetuous, undisciplined, and/or unprepared, but are not one tithe as impetuous, undiciplined, and/or unprepared as the Commie Punk in the White House.
