2016 Presidential Field Update

And another one bites the dust.  Jeb Bush has called it quits on his 2016 Presidential ambitions.   That leaves us with 7 candidates still in the running, 5 Republicans and 2 Democrats.

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

Democrats: 
  1. Hillary Clinton
  2. Bernie Sanders

Republicans: 
  1. Donald Trump
  2. Marco Rubio
  3. Ted Cruz
  4. John Kasich
  5. Ben Carson

After GWB, I didn't think anyone wanted another Bush in the White House.  GWB was a complete disaster and Jeb was pushing many of the same policies and had many of the same advisors, nobody wanted that, especially this year.  I'm guessing Kasich and Carson hold on until Super Tuesday, but not long after that.  Kasich has a much better shot at a VP spot than the Presidency.
