Another thing I noticed is that snivelling personality he always seemed to have when he was still in office seems to have softened a little. Or I just haven't seen him enough yet this campaign cycle.

Getting back to ol' Jeb, his pro amnesty stance will hurt him big time, and he doesn't seem to have a very energetic personality. I wouldn't vote for him, but I'm an independent who's ticked off at both parties, so it probably wont matter in the end considering I may not vote for either the R or D candidate in the general election.
My guess, Santorum isn't going to repeat 2012. He went that far then because the choices were so awful and candidates were dropping every week. This year we have many good choices he will be out before the primary season really gets underway.

There will be blunders and the ground game and the palm greasing and the retail politicking that makes the difference is not going to be there. About all that Walker has going for him is he is his conservative reputation. Winning a nomination takes work. Walker is in this one to learn.
Walker has a dull and boring personality from what Ive seen and he doesn't look like he would be a commanding leader at all. He's also a flip-flopper, but at least he admits to being one.

Yes, it will be Jeb Bush in the end. Sorry. You don't have to believe me, but as usual, the liberal is right.

Sorry, dems, but Hillary will be your nominee. Hate to break it to ya, but...

If we are talking usual, then the Liberal is wrong. But I think even the Liberal might be right this time. The beauty if you are right is that Bush will win the Presidency if he wins the Repub nomination....book it Dano!

I've no reason to believe anyone who only sees things through the simplistic lens of the false liberal vs conservative war. It's not like they are actually open minded about these things.

Until debates occur, and the general public gets to hear the prime candidates on the political stage, we can take all of these polls as garbage.

In the end, will the generally naive public vie for a celebrity or a politician? And, do we really know now if this celebrity can actually perform well as a politician?

Should be interesting.

I think it is going to be walker or Kasich. walker most likely.

I think between Bush, Walker and Kasich. I don't think Rubio will be the top dog in the end. But you never know.

Whatever you think of Trump, you have to admit that the Democrats are secretly pulling for him to be nominated. That would be a dream come true for Hillary, or whomever is the Dem nominee. There is no conceivable scenario under which Donald Trump becomes Pres of the USA.

The GOP hates Hillary the same way that a Celtics fan hates Kobe Bryant.
