That’s a pretty big clown car. Think we need a bus.

It’s rather telling that there are so many GOPers who think that the can/should run or are running for the WH. It’s not out of a position of strength, but rather of the general weakness of the GOP because they simply can’t be extreme enough in the primaries and still win over enough moderate/independent at the generals.

I agree with Lidane, I don’t foresee even half that number actually committing to a full run. In fact, I expect some, like Carson and Trump, to make a lot of noise about running before dropping off the radar right around August with excuses about “family” or other commitments.

But you’re right, that there are so many making noises about considering a run is not a good sign for the GOP. It says that, at nearly five months into the year, there is still no clear front-runner, and that a lot of donor money is still in play. All the notions of a “strong” bench are being destroyed with each passing week, as a new skeleton comes out of a candidate’s closet to take their turn on the catwalk.
