2016 Presidential Field Update

Lindsey Graham has thrown in the towel on his 2016 Presidential candidacy.  That leaves us with 16 candidates still in the running, 13 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. Ted Cruz
  3. Ben Carson
  4. Marco Rubio
  5. Chris Christie
  6. Jeb Bush
  7. Rand Paul
  8. John Kasich
  9. Carly Fiorina 
  10. Mike Huckabee
  11. Rick Santorum
  12. George Pataki
  13. Jim Gilmore

It was a bad year for Lindsey Graham to run for President, no establishment candidate has caught on with the GOP base to this point.  Outside of his neocon rhetoric, I really didn't dislike Graham as much as I thought that I would, he was one of the few Republican candidates with a firm grasp on reality.
