My armchair analysis says we're down to four with a realistic chance, those being Trump, Rubio, Cruz and Kasich. Bush is still around but considering how much name recognition he has and how much money he's spent and how he's still low in the polls, I don't think he has a realistic chance.

I think one of those four above or Hillary is going to be the next POTUS.

I'm surprised it's so close between Hillary and Sanders. This makes me think maybe Hillary isn't that good of an electoral politician. I thought Hillary would win POTUS in November but I'm less sure now. Kasich is a moderate and from the middle of the country but part of the middle that have a decent number of people and that are usually battleground states so if he got the GOP nomination (far from a certainty since he's a moderate) I think he'd have a decent chance to beat Hillary.

Then again, there's a LOOOONG way to go in all this.

I really hope Kasich gets some traction ... the rest of the GOP scares the **** out of me honestly.

Agree with your analysis on the four with the realistic chance of getting the GOP nomination.

Don't count out Bernie too soon. He is getting a lot of the young vote and young voters turned out in record numbers in NH. Young voters are behind him and are expected to turn in record numbers in the general election. His money is coming (mainly) from individuals. If he's raising $5M overnight and the majority of it is coming from individual donors, he has a lot of support. I don't expect him to win SC but we'll see how close it is. He's within 7 points of Hillary now nationallly.

Hillary will get a bigger lead once she heads south. Southern democrats are a different breed than Bernie.

You are right about that. Just wait until most of them find out that Bernie is Jewish. I wonder if our friend Doc is aware of that.
