I realize it's extremely early but let's ponder who might be the Republican nominee for President in 2016. We certainly have a number of candidates to choose from seeing everybody and their brother seems to be throwing their hat in the ring. With so many possible contenders who do you think will eventually breakout as the front runner. Right now it seems to be Governor Walker from Wisconsin but I don't think it will last. Most polls show everyone under 20% so the nomination is essentially there for the taking.
I'm sure numerous contenders will have their day "in the sun" but who will be standing in the end?
Where the rubber meets the road...
Frankly I don't know! My guess is no one else does either it's just to early. That being said I will give you some of my thoughts:
Will it be...
Former Governor Mike Huckabee- No! He certainly knows how to win the Iowa Caucus which might give him some traction early. However after Huckabee's stint on the Fox News Channel, with a show which I liked by the way I just don't see the necessary "fire in the belly" to get it done.
Governor Scott Walker- No! I do respect what he's been able to do in Wisconsin which is probably why he's leading many polls now. However in the end I see him as a survivor not the President.
Senator Ted Cruz- No! I like him a lot because he's a true conservative. However he is to disliked by many powerful republicans after the "shutdown" mess. As always America says they want change but Cruz is just to conservative. His loyal base will keep him around for awhile but his loyal base ultimately won't be enough.
Senator Rand Paul- No! Although I could be wrong. He's got fundraising skills, infrastructure in early states, and a plan. Paul means business and is playing to win. I must admit I like his "gumption" but I find him a little "strange". I can't put my finger on it but I just don't see him as President. Also foreign policy?
Jeb Bush- No! I know deep down he probably is who everyone thinks will eventually be the GOP nominee. Bush has money and the establishment behind him. However I will give you two negatives: immigration and he's a Bush! I respect the Bush family but three Presidents in thirty years from one family. I just don't see America voting for that!
So are you ready for my early pick?
Senator Marco Rubio- Yes! I know what your thinking but it's early so why can't he be my pick? He may be young and inexperienced but if a community organizer who gave one good speech at a democratic convention be President why not Rubio? He's very talented, from Florida an important state, and I think ready for "primetime". To be honest the GOP can't afford to wait. If Rubio can hang on long enough maybe others will jump on the bandwagon. The future is now or at least needs to be!
Last word...
My guess for vice president: Governor John Kasich from Ohio.
In Closing...

Just a quick hint, you might want to correct your post and use the word "too" instead of "to". It should be too early, too dislked, too conservative. Hope it helps, and I like Rubio too, btw!
