I am going to do these rankings solely on the candidates ability to win the Right-Wing Crazy Bat Shit GOP nomination
From Best Chance to Worst. As the title suggests I am only doing the ones at the big kids table debate, those left in the playpen with the gate up so they don’t hurt themselves have been left off. (Note, you will notice the lack of the word adult to describe any of them)
Legitimate shot of winning nomination (and a bottom tier of humanity)
#1 Cruz (Another proper way to spell his name is Crud, that one letter is a huge improvement).
Cruz has been positioning himself for a long time to get Trumps supporters on a flameout. Even if Trump doesn’t flameout, I think Cruz gets Trumps supporters in a brokered convention. As Cruz is most Trump candidates second choice, this will be done to appease the obnoxiously loud (yes, obnoxious to such a level even the GOP is annoyed) Trump supporters
#2 Rubio (The Rube)
It has been apparent with Jeb being underwhelming that the Koch’ brothers new favorite puppet is “The Rube”. The Rube has been effective thus far at deflection and has taken down Jeb further than Trump did. Don’t underestimate Koch brothers money plus the GOP power brokers wanting a guy like this in
#3 Trump (The Comb-over attached to the massive ego)
Trump if he can make it to a brokered convention most likely loses it to Cruz, but Cruz may decide to play a longer game and go and support Trump. This may be the plan especially if the nominee for the Democrats is HRC. HRC would be weak by the time of a 3rd term of a Democratic president is completed (much like George HW Bush).
Small chance of winning nomination (have shown glimpses of humanity through the insanity at times)
#4 Paul
#5 Kasich
Both will suffer from trying at times on specific issues to sound reasoned (Note, just a few spot issues, not overall)
#6 Jeb, same as above but the Bush name is a boat-anchor to his hopes as the name Bush is even reviled in the right wing partisan crowd.
The ok, thanks for playing here’s a book deal as a consolation prize because you knew you had ZERO chance at getting nominated
#7 Carson. Only his polling numbers puts him higher than
#8 iCarly (Yeah I can’t be bothered to remember how to spell her last name, she will disappear soon enough just like jobs at HP and Lucent, right?)
Ok, I had to look up her last name spelling for the tags, its below :)
