2016 Presidentil Field Update

Lawrence Lessig has officially dropped his 2016 Presidential bid.  That leaves us with 18 candidates still in the running to become the next President of the United States, that includes 15 Republicans and 3 Democrats.

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

Democrats: 

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

Republicans: 
  1. Donald Trump
  2. Ben Carson
  3. Marco Rubio
  4. Jeb Bush
  5. Ted Cruz
  6. Carly Fiorina 
  7. Rand Paul
  8. Bobby Jindal
  9. Chris Christie
  10. John Kasich
  11. Mike Huckabee
  12. Rick Santorum
  13. Lindsey Graham
  14. George Pataki
  15. Jim Gilmore

I applaud Lawrence Lessig for his run, it was a great premise, it just unfortunately never caught on.  He had no support at the polls and little to no money to run on (which to be fair, was kind of his point).  Hopefully, the Democrats push for campaign finance reform in his stead.
