Why there are so many low energy candidates?? (vote, campaign, Democrats)

[J.Thomas]

These guys are running for president and it looks like they only have the energy of a low level clerk.

Unbelievable!!!

It's not about GOP or Democrats either.

They are literally waiting for the job to come to them.

There is no campaign.

I see Trump's success as no surprise cause others honestly look like they don't want the job

Everybody looks “low energy” next to Trump. They have always been low energy.

Many GOP candidates did not really want to run, they are being paid by the Bush campaign to split the vote in key winner take all high delegate states, it is known for sure that both Perry and Graham are getting subsidies from Bush's super PAC.

That is a common theory but i don't think Bush can fund all these people.

Because the media loves Trump and he gets ratings. He isn't necessarily up to snuff on the law but the cameras love him and the people come out for the entertainment. Personally I think Carly Fiorina is an excellent speaker and can answer questions easily and thoroughly but that's not outrageous showmanship.

Seems to me the MSM has been doing everything they can to discredit Trump. But to no avail.

If that was the case, they would just ignore him. They cover everything he does. The amount of free publicity he gets is astounding. They adore him.

When he makes their ratings shoot up 30% it is not free publicity. It is just that he is not paying for it. Brilliant.

seems like they are putting their grassroots together still...

won't be until later in fall/2016 before it kicks up

Trump may or may not be left in dust, not sure how much grassroots he has

It may be because Team Jeb had recruited those 2nd-tier establishment party faithful specifically to be vote splitters in the early primary contests. Notice each hails from a different state.

(It didn't count on an early Trump lead, nevermind one so enduring and substantial.)
