This candidacy is laying the groundwork for White House Apprentice where all former candidates will be invited to vie for the make-believe office of President.

Many candidates have been on the polling long before they declared including Perry and Trump.

Here are the hopefuls, by party, some have declared, there may be some I've forgotten to list, I've boldfaced my two (and only two) favorites and put strikes through the unacceptable candidates (that could grow):
Pubbies (thirteen declared, perhaps two more to go):
  • Ben Carson [declared]
  • Bobby Jindal (gov of LA)
  • Carly Fiorina [declared]
  • Chris Christie (gov of NJ)
  • Donald Trump [declared]
  • George Pataki
  • Jeb Bush [declared]
  • John Kasich (gov of OH)
  • Lindsey Graham [declared]
  • Marco Rubio [declared]
  • Mike Huckabee [declared]
  • Peter King
  • Rick Perry [declared]
  • Rick Santorum
  • Sarah Palin
  • Scott Walker
  • Ted Cruz [declared]
other possible candidates:
  • Brian Sandoval
  • Jim Gilmore
  • Kelly Ayotte
  • Mike Pence
  • Mitch Daniels
  • Nikki Haley (gov of SC)
  • Susana Martinez (gov of NM)
Here are some combos that make sense to me at this time:
  • Ted Cruz, with running mate Donald Trump
  • Ted Cruz, with running mate Carly Fiorina
  • Ted Cruz, with running mate John Kasich
  • Ted Cruz, with running mate Peter King
  • Ted Cruz, with running mate Ben Carson
  • Ted Cruz, with running mate Mike Huckabee
  • Scott Walker, with running mate Susana Martinez
  • Scott Walker, with running mate Marco Rubio
  • Scott Walker, with running mate Brian Sandoval
  • Scott Walker, with running mate Ben Carson
  • Scott Walker, with running mate Nikki Haley
  • Scott Walker, with running mate Carly Fiorina
  • Scott Walker, with running mate Kelly Ayotte
  • Scott Walker, with running mate Peter King
Demwits (4 declared, rest possible or probable):
  • Bernie Sanders (I-VT) [declared]
  • Bill A.K.A. DeBlasio
  • Elizabeth Warren
  • Hillary Clinton [declared]
  • Lincoln Chafee [declared]
  • Martin O'Malley
  • Rand Paul [declared]
other possible candidates:
  • Amy Klobuchar
  • Andrew Cuomo
  • Brian Schweitzer
  • Dennis Kucinich
  • Jim Webb
  • Joe Biden
  • Kirsten Gillibrand
  • Mark Warner

Are any of those polls relevant, considering most of them were completed before he announced last week? Only two of them closed after they announced, and there’s no breakdown to show how he did before and after.
