It looks like the Republican party is down to 4 real possibilities.
Who are they gonna pick?
1. Jeb Bush "I know I'm the third in my family to run for prez but I'm really an outsider."
2. Ted Cruz "I was born in Canada and my dad was a Commie."
3. Marco Rubio "I'm an 'anchor baby' who is gonna be hard on drugs even though my brother-in-law was a Cocaine kingpin"
4. Donald Trump "I'm a fucking megalomaniac with fucking Tourettes and if you don't like it, fuck YOU"
Why oh why oh why cant they come up with someone worth a shit to lead this country out of the wilderness?
The Republican Party has so many problems across so many areas, that it is rather amusing to watch the implosion. They created the grand majority of these problems. The remainder of problems were created with them in mind for failing. They are a party that lacks a single, decent virtue. From lying to violating the US Constitution, they have shown Americans time and again, they can not be trusted with power. The four candidates should show to Americans the only redeeming quality of the GOP: Examples of what....NOT...to have in public office!
Worst still is that many political observers are believing this year will mark the first time that immigrants have an impact on the voting process. Since Texas has been floated as possibly turning blue for the White House race. The Republican Party has been hating on every single minority group in America; while at the same time cultivating hatred, racism, and intolerance. Their platform is the same garbage that lost them the elections in 2008 and 2012. America changed, they haven't.
For any of them to be electable, they have to show they can be 'middle of the road'. Which will be impossible since the GOP nomination requires someone to be the most 'conservative of all conservatives'. One has to go so far into 'extremist conservative viewpoints' as to render them unable to find a compromise with anyone else in the nation. While some conservatives do not like Hillary or Bernie, they believe they could make deals along the way with either administration. There is no liberal or moderate in the nation that believe there could be a deal with any of the four candidates you mentioned. You like political gridlock at the federal level? Vote Republican!
For the past year, the Republican controlled Congress has shown America what 'Republicans can do with power'; which is to say 'they barely passed a budget bill'. This is a group of individuals that have the lime light and can not solve any of the problems the nation is currently facing. Those libertarians should be happen, since Republicans are 'Do Nothing' in Congress and giving them that 'limited government' they so deeply desire. For the rest of Americans, we can see that Republicans in Congress are about as useful to us as electing ISIS to run the nation!
Bottom line: The nation, if it votes in numbers, will vote for Democrats. If we see the same decline in voters as the mid-term elections and the general elections before, there is a possibility that Republicans hold some purple states. But as far as things go, more Americans are unhappy with a government that can not accomplish anything they want. Most of this brought on by Republicans (whom are getting fairly blamed).
It will be fun to watch who the Republicans nominate to their ticket. I think you pegged the four wannabes quite nicely. I have standards that prevent me from voting for any of the Republicans.
