I like his ideas, but he's never run shit, never been an executive. I think he'd be a mistake, put him on as a VP or something.

The top 3 will be branded by the press as extremists early on. So they'll be out, as will Huckabee, Palin, and a few others. Then the press will allow the field to sort itself out as the primaries come up. Once the field is narrowed, they'll pick the candidates off one by one for various reasons (Carson? Nice guy, but he's a doctor..... Doesn't know anything about running a country, can't have him running).
So we'll wind up with a shit sandwich of 2 or 3 RINOs, and 1 conservative, who at the last minute will be discovered to have some kind of disqualifying skeleton in his closet. So he'll be out, and it'll be Tweedledee, Tweedledum, and Tweedledumber left to duke it out with Hillary, Warren, or some equally horrible candidate. |

Fat Bastard and Sanatorium beating out Rick Perry was a big surprise.

The straw pole does not mean anything. The Paul's pack pole with supporters and generally win. When push comes to shove and votes really count for the Presidency they only get enough votes to insure the Democrat candidate victory.
