We're now barreling ahead into the next election cycle. How do you rate the Republican field of candidates from A to F?

I like all the candidates so far, I could see myself voting for anyone of them. I Don't know if I could find myself voting for Christi at this point and I still need more info on ahen before making a decision.

I am certainly in the anyone but Hillary camp.

Ultimately for me living in California it is a forgone conclusion that my presidential vote doesn't really matter.

I'm a radical centrist libertarian but have many conservative views and even a few liberal ones. I'd rate it a B. I like Paul and Walker, Rubio is okay. Bush is out and so is Christy, which strengthens the field. On the dem side, I'd give it a D. Hillary is ready to make her grand exit which leaves only O'Malley. They better start looking for more candidates or O'Malley will look awfully lonely( and silly) on stage by himself at the debates.
There's that sneaky little twerp Terry McAuliffe of the Global Crossing scandal fame. I'm surprised he hasn't snaked his way into consideration yet.

Ditto

I couldn't agree more! I gave it a B as well. If the Dems believe Hillary is a shoe-in simply because of her genes... they are sorely mistaken.

FunFact:

Most true progressives have been urging both Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren to run. Bernie is strongly considering it, because he is an independent. However, Elizabeth has been reprimanded by Democratic Donors for being too stern towards Wall Street.

The Democrats want Hillary Clinton to run mainly because Wall Street likes her. Funding is everything. Thanks to the right-wing Supreme Court, Democrats are stuck capitulating to big money to stay competitive with Republicans on the funding front. The two-headed Monster was created by bribing the Supreme Court to shift the nation further to the right. Until money gets out of elections, the crusade towards fascism will continue in both parties.

I am independent, but I think it is looking pretty good for GOP, and not good at all for Dems.

Some candidates like Cruz and Walker will be culled early, but I think some others like Huckabee and Bush and maybe Paul will be in the final four.

That's cool, because I believe it is best for the nation when they take turns.

Hey, thats my horrible governor you're talking about! It's pronounced McAwful, jeez.

He's Hillarys pet flying monkey, wouldn't run. He's angling for a VP or at least Secretary of Commerce spot.

Walker is the least scary of the bunch in my opinion. Shrug. Might be the most divisive given his past, but not nearly as scary.
