Two more coming soon
The Republican Clown Bus, now carrying 15 of the most intemperate and certifiably insane politicians this country has yet produced, should be getting two more passengers within the next month.
The Republican free-for-all is about to become a 17-candidate scrum.In an effort to help the voting public understand who might be who in this menagerie, McClatchy has put together a scorecard of the pros & cons of the various clowns, dividing them into 5 tiers based on their resemblance to a snowball in Hell. Hopefully it will help you decide whether to vote for one or have them all sent to the nearest loony bin.
Never in modern times has a major political party had so many prominent candidates vying at once for its presidential nomination. The 2016 field is all but set, as Ohio Gov. John Kasich will formally join the race Tuesday morning and former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore plans an early August announcement.
So far, familiarity and intrigue with some new players have boosted a handful of candidates to the top. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is the brother and son of presidents. Real estate mogul Donald Trump is classic Internet click bait. Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida, Ted Cruz of Texas and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker are younger upstarts whose success in swing states rates them close looks from insiders.
