Hillary? Rand Paul? Ted Cruz? Marco Rubio?
Four major candidates have stepped forward to run for the Democratic and Republican nominations for president, and a few more are sure to follow soon.
Their entrances into the race couldn’t be more different. Republicans Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, and Ted Cruz went the more traditional route with kickoff events. Hillary Rodham Clinton went big on social with a much anticipated video and tweet combination, but is keeping events low-key to start – except for a Monday evening visit to Chipotle.
So who’s winning the media battle at this very early stage? Take our poll below or tweet at @PRWeekUS to have your say.
Poll
Which early presidential candidate is winning in the media?
Hillary Clinton: Her announcement made the biggest splash. And look at the coverage she’s getting just for stopping by Chipotle.
Ted Cruz: A traditional entry to the race to be sure, but he understands his party’s base.
Rand Paul: He’s much more social media savvy than his rivals for the GOP nod.
Marco Rubio: He’s the only candidate to clearly differentiate himself from the pack with his youthful message.
That’s possible.
I see Huma is along on this weeks’ van ride.
Hillary could come out as a bisexual like the new Governor of Oregon, Kate Brown.
FAT BOTTOM RODHAM
TO BIG TO FAIL....
make a great bumper sticker..
I looked for Walker’s name but it was nowhere to be found. Did you see it? I voted for Cruz but was surprised that you were able to see Walker’s name to comment.
voted with all my browsers.
But our strongest conservative candate has no fear and is up to the challenge to what ever they trow at Ted Cruz, and he is unashamed to stand up for and believe what he believes in.
Ted Cruz takes the attacks from the media in stride and in fact , and in effect he gets stronger the more they attack him.
He doesn’t hem and yaw or memce words with important issues like OTHER supposed Republican candates.
And Bubba’s and his business partner going to islands in Indoneisia..
Yeah....
Love’n Humma in the : Chevy Van...
A 70s classic..
I agree with all you said. IF allowed to speak directly to the American people, he will get his point across and sway many.
I’m more concerned about them lying about him and twisting his words. People aren’t smart enough to check the source.
LOL

If the van is rocking, the Secret Service had better not come knocking!
I see the Rand Paul stoners finally woke up and started voting...
Agree 100%. Mr. Cruz not only understands the Constitution, but he believes in it. And therefore we believe in him.
As far as the media goes, I wouldn’t know what games they’re playing. I’m sure the story will be as Nanny Bloomers said about his ‘friends’: “The only two candidates who are qualified are Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton.”.
Mike has been using too much salt.

Sad that Cruz’ duty to Constitution, honesty and dignity is REFRESHING, isn’t it. Post-American world after 6 years of hell.
I see the Paultard Army finally caught on that there was an online poll.
Let’s see - one day Hillary announces her candidacy with a canned two minute video full of stock images of average Americans and hardly a glimpse of herself, letting it dribble out to some ginned up social media hype - the next day Rubio schedules his announcement speech at precisely three minutes after six o’clock in the evening - live in front of a hall full of screaming people, fifteen minutes of zingers like “yesterday a candidate announced a campaign full of yesterday’s policies - yesterday is over” - because of the timing, it was carried live in full on Fox, CNN and even MSNBC - Rubio has already won the Media-Savvy award.......
