2016 Presidential Field Update

Jeb Bush and Donald Trump are now both officially in.  That increases the Republican field to 12 and counting with the Democratic field remaining at 4, for now anyways.

Here's how they rank in my opinion (as far as their chances):

Democrats:

1. Hillary Clinton
2. Bernie Sanders
3. Martin O'Malley
4. Lincoln Chafee

Republicans

1. Marco Rubio
2. Jeb Bush
3. Rand Paul
4. Mike Huckabee
5. Ben Carson
6. Rick Santorum
7. Rick Perry
8. Lindsey Graham
9. George Pataki
10. Carly Fiorina
11. Ted Cruz
12. Donald Trump

Jeb Bush has to be considered one of the GOP front runners.  For better or worse, he has name recognition, tons of cash and a seemingly moderate agenda.  He's as close to Mitt Romney and John McCain as there is in this race and that's a good thing, in the blue states anyways.  He does have to carry the burden of the family name though and the far right for the most part are not fans.

Donald Trump is letting his ego get the best of him, nobody, and I mean nobody, wants a Donald Trump Presidency.
