All of the Republican candidates for President this time around are deeply flawed.

The front-runner only has about 20 percent popularity. How do you go from 20 percent to 50 percent? (Giuliani and Huckabee are the present front-runners.)

It is becoming increasingly probably that the convention will be stalemated in Minneapolis. Jeb Bush could just waltz to the nomination in this scenario. Who else is out there?

Nobody could just “waltz” to the nomination in that event, and just dreaming it isn’t going to make it happen.

In that case, one of the current crop would be nominated by intense dealing among the delegate body, who after all, are not bound by their state voter’s choices, except in one or two states, that is.

That would be a cluster***k of the first magnitude.

Does Jeb Bush even figure in with a popularity rating?

Is it the candidates that aren't appealing or is it their message? Perhaps the American people are finally waking up and seeing that the message they are being served is the same 'shit on a shingle' by different servers (candidates).

Maybe, just maybe the public will demand a new menu. I sure as he!! hope so.
