If it's not Jeb Bush: Top 10 prospects to win GOP nomination
The Christian Science Monitor's Politics Voices ^ | April 20, 2015 | John Feehery

Posted on 04/20/2015 6:34:31 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Ted Cruz may have been the first to announce a run for the presidency, but John Kasich connects with middle class voters, cares for the poor, and balances budgets.

If not Bush, who?

If I were a betting man, I would be that Jeb Bush would win the GOP nomination and that he would face off against Hillary Clinton. Sounds kind of boring, but after eight years of President Obama, boring sounds great.

But what if it’s not Bush. Who would it be?

Here is my Top 10 list, from worst to first:

10) Ted Cruz: I don’t think that the junior senator from Texas will get the nomination, but since he was the first to announce, you have to put him on the list.

9) Ben Carson: I get asked more about the doctor-turned-activist than anybody else on the field. I think he will go the way of Herman Cain, but you never know....

kasick ‘cares for the poor’ with other peeps money. kasick should move to ethiopia and lend his caring with his own cash.

There are quite a lot of people on the list who are not running.

Very few people are running yet.

It’s too far away to even be making predictions....

There’s the guy we like, and several who haven’t gotten in....yet. And others still who could get in that aren’t on the radar.

Maybe in December he could start making predictions, with a little more clarity, but now...there’s no point other than to just stir the pot.

Many of those have put together large campaign organizations, given numerous interviews and repeatedly visited early primary states. She has done none of those things.

Feehery is a paid mouthpiece for The Cheap Labor Express. Everything he says is to convince you to vote to give up the rule of law and your country.

I understand.

Palin is likely a less-than-50% chance of running candidate at the moment.

I get that.

However she is (by far) my favorite possible candidate. Maybe she won’t run. But I don’t think she would be starting this early, even if she indeed decides to run.

You go ahead and beat the bushes for Cruz. This is certainly a good place to spend such time.

I’m just saying, it is not clear to me that Palin won’t run.

If she does, I expect a very real race. Bigtime. Don’t write a list without her, just yet.

Just saying.

Several of us are very close to Palin’s people. She is not running. Write that down.

Well if she is going to run, it is possible she would periodically read what is said here on FR.

In which case I would stand up and declare I am very much ready to vote for her.

I hope you are wrong about her intentions.

We shall see.

If he’s right, looks like we need to used to “President Hillary!.”
About the only on in the top 5 I would actually vote for in the General Election is Walker.
