Perhaps Kraut can give us the Megabucks numbers for this Weds while he is at it.

Pray America is waking

[Obadiah]

My local witch doctor has told me something different.

[Gaffer]

I detest Krauthammer. He’s sat on his ass for decades with his polite and not-to-vocal loyal opposition to the evils of liberaldom and masqueraded as the superior intellect.

For 6 years he’s lightly chastised Obama for having between-patriots legitimate differences of opinion with us as any legitimate President might do, all the while writing his columns, appearing on those damned Sunday shows as a fricking ‘expert’ and allowing himself to be called a conservative intellectual - all the while collecting his paycheck and feathering his bed.

Now he sits in his home or DC office and tells me what the odds are? Try getting out around this country and see what’s really what, a$$hole. Screw him.

Ted Cruz / 2016

[gusty]

Based on the way the world really is instead of how we may want it to be, I would say a fair assessment from Krauthammer.

[Usagi_yo]

Krauthammer ought to stick to what he knows best.

Mark Rubio has no better chance than a 15-1 and probably more 20-1.
Ted Cruz is correct, 15-1 as I’ve been saying for weeks. He did teeter between 15-1 and 30-1 but his well executed debut puts him in as a threat.

Jeb Bush 8-1.

Huckabee 99-1

Walker is the one to beat at 3-1.

And Hillary is not a shoe in. She might not even run.

And why are some GOP worried about Walker? Because he’ll bleed power back to the States and he will not go by the GOPe script.

[kenmcg]

Kraut is a pundit. His prognostications are wrong more than there right.

[kidd]

kidd’s assessment:

Top Tier:
1. Jeb Bush - Can’t stand him, but he has the backing of the GOP-e and has the money. Won’t do well in the debates, but he has the money. Will not get votes from the conservative base, but he has the money. Odds: 3-1

2. Ted Cruz - Has a deeply devoted base. Will be heavily attacked by the MSM. This will be a badge of honor for conservatives, but will keep RINOs away. May pick up a lot of the Hispanic vote. Odds: 4-1

3. Scott Walker - Has a lot of good conservatives accomplishments, but hasn’t done well at translating his great state experience into a federal position. Has been heavily attacked by both the GOP-e and some conservatives, but seems to have withstood attacks by liberals. Odds: 4-1

Second Tier:
4. Rand Paul - Has a devoted libertarian base. Conservatives and GOP-e won’t touch him. Odds: 10-1

5. Marco Rubio - An otherwise fine conservative has completely blown it with his position on amnesty. Odds: 20-1

Long Shot:
6. Chris Christie - Good for New Jersey. Bad for America. “Bridgegate” will not affect conservative voters because his support for Obama during Sandy overshadows everything else. The uninformed GOP-e will believe the MSM and will give a lot of weight to “Bridgegate”. Odds: 100-1

7. Rick Perry - A great governor and a good conservative. Doesn’t do well in debates, and he’s had his chance. Odds: 100-1

8. Ben Carson - Not the conservative you might think he is. Odds: 100-1

Forget it:
Santorum, Fiorina, Huckabee, Jindal, Kasich, Pence

Krauthammer is employed by The Ministry Of Propaganda. They are in turn employed by The Cheap Labor Express.
They do not want us to elect anyone who will stop the cheap labor importation that they like to call immigration.
There is nothing broken about our immigration system except the refusal to enforce the laws against illegal aliens.

We must elect a President who will uphold the rule of law.

[TomGuy]

I do concur with some of his numbers [zero chance] for some of the also-rans.

There are many run-ables but few win-ables.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Am I alone in feeling None of the Above is still leading the primary race, right now?

[Sybeck1]

I always see this guy and immediately think Walter Mondale

[Alas Babylon!]

And he has shown backbone in sticking to his semi-heretical positions on immigration and Common Core.

Hey Kraut! Ya sure you didn't mean to put this in the Jebster's Obvious Liabilities column? "Cause I can tell ya for sure, this Uber-RINO is not getting MY vote.

NEVER. EVER.

[grania]

okay...the hillaristas claim she is unstoppable and that Jeb is the perfect Republican candidate.

I don't drink. If that is the choice come Election Day, I'll make up for lost time. Would it be possible to get drunk enough to vote?

[Rodamala]

"5. Ted Cruz. Grand, florid campaign launch with matching rhetoric. Straightforward base-oriented campaign. Has developed a solid following. Could break out, especially in debate. 15-1."

I'd rather lose 10 bucks betting on the 15-1 horse than win a thin dime back from the GOP^e.

[Blue Highway]

Donald trump didn’t even make the list.
