Twelve candidates? The debates will be ridiculous.
Carson, Huckabee, Christie, Perry, Santorum, Jindal, and Kasich have no chance.
That leaves Walker, Bush, Cruz, Paul, and Rubio as the only serious candidates.
I think Paul will probably self-destruct early, so that leaves four.
The only question is: When the Republicans select their mortal enemies to moderate their debates, which one of the four will survive the ambushes?
My two cents . . . Cruz will shine.
A distinct possibility. And the post debate polls will reflect the results.
