Political Analyst List of Top 10 GOP 2016 Candidates

[suzziY]

Interesting.  Ted Cruz is #4 on the list but yet the analyst states he will only win about a dozen states.  Really?  Bring it!!  Of course Jeb is listed as #1 ... that is who the Dems are hoping the GOP runs.

A Top Political Analyst Just Ranked The Top 10 GOP 2016 Candidates

4.  Ted Cruz  (previously 8): The base loves this guy, maybe even more than the base loves Rand Paul. Most Republicans in Washington loathe Cruz, which actually may be an attribute. We rarely pass on an opportunity to joke about his Canadian birth, but that will not deter Cruz — he's running and he's a serious candidate. Minor problem: if he's on the ticket, the GOP won't win more than a dozen states.

3.  Rand Paul (previously 4): He's an eye surgeon who happens to be a politician who can electrify young people at Berkeley or African-Americans at the Urban League. Many of his positions, especially regarding Israel, need work, and he has a long paper trail that will be used against him. But in an era that hates politicians, Paul doesn't always act like one, which is a major part of his appeal. 

2.  Marco Rubio: (previously 1): He's a difficult candidate to handicap. Insiders are down on Rubio because of his flip-flopping on immigration, but around the country his narrative resonates with middle-class voters. Reporters say he seems jittery and cotton-mouthed in major speeches; plus there's the "gravitas factor," and the jury is still out on that. We could envision Rubio in the final three — or blowing out early.

1.  Jeb Bush: (previously 3): We hate succumbing to the consensus, but he's the favorite — if he wants the nomination. We think Jeb hasn't decided yet; there are family concerns and strong differences with the GOP base on key issues. But the base wants a winner, and this is a talented and intelligent politician who could give Hillary Clinton a tougher challenge than any of the others on this list.

The media desperately hopes for voter "Bush fatigue," to help us forget the Obama fatigue.

Yep, anything to get the base talking about how much we despise another Bush RINO in office, while the Marxist goes about destroying the country.
