In 2007, did any one see first term Congresswoman Michele Bachmann being at one point a top tier candidate for the 2012 GOP nomination?
I think that speaks to the lunacy of the Republican electorate. By your logic we should also expect the next Donald Trump, Herman Cain, and Rick Perry. Two of those people have never won any elected office. And Herman Cain has tried multiple times. You might as well ask which random sex offender off the street do you think will be a leading GOP contender four years from now.
