I think Kasich is the best of the bunch, but has little chance of winning.

You mean you wouldnt be happy to see Senator KY-Jelly-Mixed-In-With-Fecal-Matter become president? Or what about Governor I'd-Use-The-Armed-Forces-To-Control-Women's-Uteruses?

They will all want to raise defense spending, have no material changes to SS or medicare, want to cut taxes and balance the budget. May as well run for president of Candyland.
