Hillary is definitely the favourite. Chris Christie would probably be the only person the GOP could put forward who'd have a shot at winning on the issues. Jeb comes close, but the Bush name is still pretty toxic.

That said, I don't think elections are really won on issues anymore.

GOP wins everything on energy and loses everything on foreign policy. Everything else is mixed with a lean towards Hillary.

If elections were only about issues, I think the Republican party would have given up long ago.

How does Hillary lose on energy to Republicans? She's trying to convince Obama to accept the Keystone Pipeline before the end of the year.

Maybe I could have thought of a simpler/shorter way of asking the same thing... but I think most of you came to the same conclusion did... that Hillary beats ALL the Republicans on basically ALL of the issues.

That the appeal for her comes not only from personal popularity, but also from her being the strongest on the issues.

I think she would probably need to emphasize her immigration and energy positions more strongly (IMO, she should speak at rallies in the spring to help push for Immigration reform), the only social issue she's on the wrong side of is marijuana legalization but I doubt the GOP nominee will be more liberal on that issue in just 4 years, and she may need to alleviate the fears of some civil libertarians... but she is still stronger than all of the Republicans on those issues.

this is basically my answer.  public opinion has been well to the left of public policy for a long time now, and possibly forever/by definition.

They're all the same person effectively

Including Bob McDonnell, but not Rand Paul, seems like a pretty odd choice.

Anyway, Hillary wins most of these.

The date was December 2012.

I can switch him and McDonnell, though.


EDIT: Just  did. Switched Nikki Haley with Scott Walker too.
