I have about decided to do a write in for Daffy Duck. More qualified than any of the candidates we are being offered, and certainly more trustworthy than Clinton. Sufferin Sucatash.

The top two in your poll are Bush and Trump. Either one will guarantee a Democrat wins.

I watched the first survivor program and have never wanted to watch another one. All is fair in love and war so a political campaign is like war. On that show the biggest jerk won. The biggest jerk running will probably win the nomination.

A local town had a dog on the ticket. Appropriate in my opinion.

Trump will win. Even though the media is giving Fiorina a tail wind push forward, she won't win.

No, trump is fading and fiorina got the boost just like palin did. She won't last either.

Edited to add - as for the OP, right now my money is still on Bush. But that could *easily* change.
I think the majority of republican voters don't like the crony sub-group of the party. They, with their big corp money have cost a few POTUS elections;

2012; Romney lost to the worst president in US history.
2000; Bush would have lost to Gore if the Supreme Court didn't help.
1996; The GOP establishment pushed aside Buchanan, who, during the early stages of the primary, was the choice for most regular/populist republican folk. Then, huge money poured in for Bob Dole to change the tide.
1992; The Ross Perot effect. With his anti-NAFTA stance; "That giant sucking sound you hear is all the jobs that will leave the USA."

I still think the election will be Bush vs Clinton, even though I don't want either.

Don't think so. Political dynasty names won't make the grade this time around.

The Democrats are guaranteed this election... I would actually rather vote for a Democrat if my only choices are these hateful biased idiotic trainwrecks
So you would rather have Hillary who is the biggest trainwreck of them all?
