Is there any politician or activist in both political parties right now v that you know of who is not ready for prime time when you hear of them on the Internet, TV, or hearsay?

George Pataki and Lincoln Chafee. Give it a few years, and they'll have a good shot at the White House.

Ted Cruz for the Republicans. All the Democrats are old and stale, so I don't know about them.

Pataki is a three term governor and is 70, Chafee was both a Senator and a Governor and is 62. if anything, they're past prime time.

I don't think a single one of the Republicans except for Jeb, Kasich, Christie, Rubio and Paul are ready for prime time. And Rubio and Paul are just partly ready, they make unnecessary gaffes from time to time.

Given what's on primetime TV these days, I'd say most of them are ready.

Jeb Bush, Lindsey Graham, George Pataki, Mike Huckabee, John Kasich, and (amazingly so far) Rick Perry are the only onese who seem ready for prime time.

IMO Ron Paul should wait a few years, but he's definitely a potential rising star

Rubio's a little young, Paul's out of touch with the base, and O'Malley just can't get ready.

Bruce Rauner and Mark Kirk who are being outwitted by Madigan on the budget. Mark Kirk isnt standing by Rauner in this mess, and he had to quell media storm on various controversies. Both are gone in 2016 & 2018.
