I think its going to end up with one of these

Rand Paul is going to appeal to the Libertarian group who was loyal to his father Ron Paul, he is also going to appeal to a broader base because he is more younger and more "mainstream" than his father.

Marco Rubio is going to be appealing to Republicans because he is young and seen as the up and coming just like Obama was with the Democrats

Jeb Bush is going to appeal to the moderates and because of his last name, he is also seen as the "kinder" bush

Ted Cruz is going to appeal the fiscallt conservative, he also comes froma a solid big red state. He is not too young or not too old, he is also very intelligent and i think he is going to be supported by big money backers


Me personally i think its going to end up being Cruz against Clinton



Paul has a loyal base but he is seen as too radical

Bush, his last name is still seen too negatively

Rubio is gonna be sen as too young

Cruz looks and speaks like the perfect candidate, has backers, and comes from a huge state


Sex and Race are going to play a big part. It will be the Latino Republican againt the Democratic woman. Its just reality.

Republicans will lose for sure with Cruz over Hillary. Cruz will mainly score with those who are mainly pro God, pro Gun and anti-Gay on the issues. Hillary with everybody else, the majority.

I like Cruz too.

But you do know he is only five months older than Rubio, whom you think is too young.

Just sayin'

CN.......

Except that pesky fact that Latino isn't a race....

Oh, you didn't know that there are white Latinos, black Latinos, and multi-racial Latinos?

I'm partial to Rand Paul myself, but I wouldn't count out Rubio, he would bring in a lot of hispanic votes and his background helps paint him as coming from outside the establishment which makes him popular with young conservatives.

I can't say anything bad about Cruz, except his affiliation with the Tea Party turns off establishment republicans and frankly, he looks a bit weasel-ish.....it's sad that in this day and age people are shallow enough to let his looks play a part but....they will.

He does not look like a president at all.

Though Hillary is not ideal, she will probably win.

The GOP is not that stupid, at least not yet. None of the GOP candidates that have thrown their hat in the ring so far will even make the final cut.

I support Cruz and hope he wins the nomination. He'll wipe up Hillary in the debates.

"Its going to end up being Hillary Clinton vs Ted Cruz"

Great, a crook and an actor. What a choice, I might be forced to sit this one out.

We're barely into the first mile of a 26.2 mile marathon. Making a "for sure" prediction at this point is a fool's errand.
