How many repub candidates will there end up being?

[cali]

So far we've got Rand, Rubio and Cruzie. Carson is expected to get in on May 4. Perry? Probably. Graham? Looks that way.
Then there's Bush and Christie. Not to mention the Huckster, Santorum- and oh yeah, Walker.

That's 11. Here's hoping that decimate each other.

1. They're going to have to get a bigger Clown Car.

2. Nah

Just one with a roof rack

3. You forgot Carly Fiorina and Bobby Jindal.

That gets you to an unlucky 13.

5. LOL. You're right. How could I forget them?

4. They were about 10 last time around.

And then they got whittled away one by one as they opened their mouths and said what they really think. In the end everybody compromised on the opinionless suit.

7. All these assholes have opinions- but I do think they'll go for either Suit 1 (Bush) or Suit 2

(Walker)

9. I'm guessing Bush, and I think that sucks for everyone.

Because I think the surest way to drive down turnout is to wind up with a 'Bush vs Clinton' election, and low turnout benefits Republicans. So 'Bush v Clinton' means further losses in Congress as well.

6. The republican clown car is in drive and they'll be a lot of stops picking up more.

8. I believe the Republicans kept some of them out of the televised debates - which means they don't

have a prayer of winning. So, the real question is how many the Republicans will let be on the stage.

10. The NYT yesterday said Rubio was the third

I feel like there's 1,003.

11. a way bigger clown car is needed for sure

the fight for top clown driver will be difficult as its all out race between cruz, carson, santorum and rubio.....bush hasn't elevated his status enough yet to be contention for top clown but I'm sure he will eventually start making the clown statements to placate the batshit crazies who vote in primaries

[Historic NY]

12. They are cheaper by the dozen...

[JHB]

13. Clown car meets crazy train

[Atman]

14. All of them.

Really. I think every one of them is going to run. They can't help themselves.
