Upshot: GOP race looks Chaotic: It's Not.

I see it being a five way race. Bush, Walker,  Pence,  Paul and Cruz.

Someone who's not even running is in the five way race?

After Cruz's fantastic rollout are we STILL talking about Marco Rubio as a serious contender? this is fycking ridiculous.

The media's fascination with Rubio is strange. It was understandable before Jeb's entry, but now it's just dumb. He's like the Republican O'Malley in terms of media hype over nothing.

Moneybombing barely worked against a bunch of jokers in 2012. If Romney had lost Michigan and Ohio... imagine that. Plus I think Walker's strategy would be for an early state KO. Win Iowa, overperform in NH, win SC. We know from 2012 that the elites are fickle if their guy takes serious damage - hell, Barbour and others were talking white knight during primary season itself.

This is very true. People tend to forget that the establishment was ready to drop Romney like a hot potato if their Christie/Daniels draft campaigns succeeded.

Well, at least Atlas' opinion of Rubio was spot on:

After Cruz's fantastic rollout are we STILL talking about Marco Rubio as a serious contender? this is fycking ridiculous.

Yea, he has no angle. Bush, Cruz, Walker, and Paul are superior to him for every different type of voter.

Glad I was one of the first on Atlas to call out the media for their unjustified Rubio fetish.
