Scratch Ben off, scratch Christy out, scratch Jindahl, and Paul out too.
Jeb and Walker are the main contenders right now. Jeb may be too liberal for most and Walker might be too conservative to be electable.
Mrs. Clinton is the one they will have to beat and the Democratic Party has all the demographics working in their favor.

Dear Guest:
What you write about is the du jour news of the day. However, I suspect that you know campaigns have very long tails, people have very short memories and pollsters are good at smoke and mirrors.
I like most on this forum took pride in knowing good horse flesh when I saw it but then the unexpected happened, not once but twice, the most unelectable and ill-prepared person ever to enter a race was chosen. Why? The answers are many but the one true answer which was "he was the most qualified" unfortunately was not....and so the connotation of "anyone can be elected president" took on a whole new meaning.
It has left me fearful and sad for our nation because the right to cast a vote is the single most important asset a citizen can own and we have far too many citizens throwing it away because of selfish ideology or because they simply do not understand the democracy in which they live. We all see and hear it on a daily basis. This is not about Republican or Democrat its about choosing a leader that will through moral and intelligent stewartship protects and preserves this Republic and its citizens.
Personal Best Regards:
