The last time I ranked the 10 people most likely to wind up as the Republican presidential nominee in 2016, I had Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker as the third-best bet to be the GOP standard bearer. That was Aug. 2. On Sept. 21, Walker dropped out of the race, registering as a literal asterisk in his final poll as a candidate.
The rise and fall of Walker — he was an official candidate for only 70 days — is evidence of the massive fluidity in the race; GOP voters are still looking around, jumping on some candidates . . . only to jump off when they start to falter.
The one constant over the past few months has been Donald Trump, who rapidly rose to the top of the field — nationally and in places such as early-voting states Iowa and New Hampshire — and stayed there throughout the summer and now into the fall.
Some evidence shows that Trump’s shtick is starting to wear thin with Republican voters, but those same polls suggest that the real estate mogul has somewhere between 20 percent and 25 percent of GOP voters who will be with him no matter what he says or does. In a crowded field — and with Trump’s abilities to self-fund and to draw oodles of free media attention — he cannot be written off....

1. TRUMP That’s all!!
I kinda think this is a pretty accurate analysis of the top 10 and their chances.
“Chris Cillizza writes “The Fix,” a politics blog for the Washington Post. He also covers the White House.”
Maybe Mr. Cillizza knows more than we think he does. I have no doubt “The Fix” is in.
Jebby #2? I resent then trying to shove him down our throats.
If Trump wasn’t in it, the RNC would have paired the field down to three with two pretending to run against Jeb.
...but flooding the field is just another one of Rove’s failed attempts to derail Trump.
Jeb still has lots of advertising dollars. The media will keep him in contention until they’re exhausted.
The Wapo should consider printing more Suduko or crossword puzzles instead filling their space tpwith useless crap like this.
Jeb can kiss my backside
Well, it didn’t take long to see that this guy is an establishment republican, or more commonly known...a RINO.
WaPo is trying to create a scenario. Buying into it only facilitates their deceit. Money alone for ads promoting issues where you know you are in the minority, and shoving it in our face is the worst crime a politico can do short of commode servers. Yet unlike a toilet computer with state secrets, you aren’t illegal, just a jerk
At least he was honest enough to write that Rubio is viewed as best candidate by the “money men and women.”
My take on Trump at #3 is that Chris is basically regurgitating the same old (and getting quite tired) “Trump can’t give specifics on anything but immigration”. They seem to assume that what Trump has already done is all he is ever going to do. The fact that he has not put forth a comprehensive energy plan, for example, is being construed as “he never will”. That is a huge blunder on their part. His tax plan comes out tomorrow, he is releasing detailed issue positions pretty steadily from what I have seen, and has another year to address more. They are going to wake up one day soon and discover that he has given detailed policy positions on every major issue, while their boys haven’t even begin to get caught up. That strategy is well thought out and will keep him front and center. IOW: GO TRUMP!
The first one I see is none other than Mr. T
Carson and Cruz run close...especially after the good Doctor’s remarks that he firmly stated again this morning.
BTW it is not very wise to attempt to fool around with Mr. T. He may have no chains, but he has more than his share of brains and knows how to use them.
Mister T????

So says Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post.
No Chris, the evidence is the ‘poll’ that you and all the leftwing cabal have been pumping nonstop for the last 48 hours and there is proof now that the poll was manipulated with analysis still ongoing.
As to the rest of what you wrote, what was the point?
A ranking from the WA Compost from a rabid liberal? BS, pure BS. Get lost Chris, take your opinions and put them in the toilet, silly blind fool.
