...I'd like to see how candidates rank regardless of party. Periodically I'll score the rankings and post them...
Dang...this is hard. (See my caveats, please...)
1. Sanders
2. Gilmore
3. Fiorina
4. Paul
5. Kasich
***Caveat: this is my list, assuming a Republican majority/supermajority in both chambers of congress. A bipartisan gridlock or Democrat majority would change this list significantly.
Paul in 1st, the next four in really no particular order. Carson, Fiorina, Cruz, Rubio. These are the 5 I could vote for and not feel too disgusted with myself afterwards.
My 11 y/o daughter would make a better president than any of the MarxoNazis in the other party. She's smarter and more mature.
1. Trump
2. Trump
3. Trump
4. Trump
5. Trump
So far, Ted Cruz is the only one I'm totally sold on.
As primary season unfolds, I'll open up the possibilities more.
