Potential candidate with the least "skeletons in the closet"

[Orser67]

Which potential candidates do you think have the least (or least serious) past scandals, both revealed and unrevealed, to deal with? I know this probably involves a little bit of speculation, but that's ok.

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

Scott Walker, Democrats have tried to find dirt on him, yet they can't find anything.

This is wishful thinking.

The candidates who have already ran are in a better position. Santorum, Perry, Clinton, and Biden don't have much to hide.

But there are going to be some things we never knew they were hiding. Now I'm excited for the juicy stuff.

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

Clinton?
Wishful thinking.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Clinton?
Wishful thinking.

What does she have that we don't know about? Don't say Benghazi.

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

What I meant is that it is sad that he claims Walker is wishful thinking, and then puts Hillary. Give me a break.

[Likely Voter]

On the Dem side it is clearly Clinton.

On the GOP side probably Bush or Ryan.

[morgieb]

With Hillary at least her scandals are known, I doubt that after 20 years as a public figure there'd be an unrevealed killer scandal that'll haunt her.

Wasn't Walker caught up with some shady characters in the past or something? Barring that, probably someone like Bush for similar reasons to Hillary - they've had long enough to dig up some dirt about him so I doubt dirt really exists.

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

But  of course we all know that candidate is Christie.

[RogueBeaver]

Cheesemen and Cruz.

[BaconBacon96]

Biden.

Are you guys seriously saying that a Clinton isn't sitting on a nest of scandals?

If she was, why haven't they been leaked yet?

This is the same guy that thinks Hillary and Bill have murdered dozens of people.

LOL, that was a joke from Snowstalker.

[Mordecai]

Democratic: Clinton
Republican: Cruz

Clinton?
Wishful thinking.

The thing about Clinton is that her skeletons have been out of the closet for 20 years. Everyone knows them and they know what they're getting.

Scott Walker, Democrats have tried to find dirt on him, yet they can't find anything.

People around him have fallen in scandals. He is either fantastically corrupt or he is incredibly unwise or unlucky in choosing associates -- neither of which bodes well. Democrats could be holding back on exposing the dirt for the 2014 election.

He is one of the scariest figures in American politics. He's Karl Rove with experience in elective politics.

[Zioneer]

Cruz doesn't have any skeletons in his closet because he takes them out of the closet and waves them around.

[Nichlemn]

Another way to put it is "who has run the squeakiest clean life?" That means you don't list candidates just because their scandals have already been run through the gauntlet.

Hasn't he taken a ton of money from the Kochs? While I realize that's not precisely a scandal, it's going to be yet another mark in the "he's a scary right-wing nutjob" column that will, at the least, drive turnout against him.

He has followed the script closely. If you want to see what a Koch-directed America would be like, just look at the Walker administration.

Or also the Christie administration.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

I believe Walker was embroiled in some kind of scandal not long ago, though I can't remember what it was or how it was resolved.

John Doe never touched Walker, and WIDP had to retract their claim about Walker being expelled from Marquette after MU said Walker's version was correct.

Looks like a smoking gun to me.
