(10,500 posts)I just can't see Rubio winning at this point. He is such a lightweight and has a poor organization in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Christie has way too many problems.
Kasich has hit a ceiling in New Hampshire, and hasn't been able to break it for months, even when showing potential there that other candidates haven't. Besides, the idiots in the GOP have concluded that he is somehow a liberal.
I could see Donald Trump of Ted Cruz winning the nomination. But if they don't then I think Bush has the best shot.
If Bush can beat Rubio in Iowa to take third, the media will spin that as a comeback. He could then be labeled the establishment alternative in New Hampshire and do well there, which would make him a finalist in the race.
An endorsement from Mitt Romney could help too, especially in Nevada where a lot of the caucus-goers will be Mormons.
