Didn’t guess entirely in that Walker was there. But it is just leftist wishful thinking. We believe in a real and fair contest on the right. Unlike the left that just crowns whoever is the most extreme leftist at the moment.

Why does anyone at Slate give a rodent’s rectum about the Republican ticket? Why would any Conservative give an airborne fornication what Slate has to say about the Republican ticket.

Those people are not on our side. Anything they say for our consumption should be considered total garbage.

Why should Trump be allowed to be considered a Republican candidate?

This is a thinly disguised hit piece on Cruz by Slate.

He must be over the target...

Walker is a great candidate imho. We have a few good ones this time.

I just don’t understand the enthusiasm for Rubio.

Running for President isn’t about winning the Presidency.

It is about raising your profile as a leader - go consolidate power, prestige, speaking fees, opportunities from lobbyists, etc.

... which is of course what politics is about from their point of view.

Heck Trump announces he is considering running every time.

The GOPe strategy to get Jeb Bush installed is to surround him with weak recycled rejects. The conservative vote will be split six ways from Sunday, while the GOPe loads Jeb up with the serious money and brokers all the big voting blocks behind the scenes.

The rich and powerful that run this nation installed Obama and now they are going to install Jeb. Between now and November 2016, I will be subjected to 1000 posts by conservatives who think their pet conservative has a snowball’s chance in hell of being the GOP presidential nominee.

Jeb is out next president. Get over it.

Of this gaggle of candidates, however, just three—Bush, Walker, and Rubio—are contenders. Alone among their peers, they have the cash, the elite backing, and the grassroots support needed to win the nomination.

Other than Democrats who vote in open primaries, what comprises Bush's grass-roots support?

Actually I expect the Final Four to be Cruz, Walker, Rubio and Bush. One of those four will be the next President of The United States.

I'd agree about Walker and Rubio but when it comes to Bush III - BS. Bush isn't much of a contender. I'd argue that Cruz and even Kasich and Paul are more of a contender than Bush.

To answer their question, so-called “long-shots” actually do win. Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton were not considered to be frontrunners at the beginning of their campaigns. But I’d also add that several of them are more likely than not running for a VP slot.

I would say the six with the best chance of going somewhere in the debates and the primaries--i.e., being serious candidates--are, in alphabetical order, Bush, Cruz, Kasich, Paul, Rubio, and Walker.

(I don't think Paul has a realistic chance of getting the nomination, though; the apple hasn't fallen far enough away from the tree.)

Because win or lose they all make big bucks from running.

Since the democrats must create “books” on each of the candidates at great expense to them. I just smile each time another person enters the race. Just imagine all the effort it takes and staff!

It also emphasizes that GOP has a long deep bench while. DNC has only one scared aging hag!

I’d. Like to see them run as a team with many accepting cabinet positions before the election.
I know many would like to see Cruz as president but he knows the constitution so well he would make a strong AG. Carson cleaning up the medical area. PAUL — treasury (audit) Palin — energy. etc etc. The only one i don’t want to see as president is Bush
