The Republican presidential race is very crowded — and very unformed.
A new Quinnipiac University poll of Republican voters shows a five-way tie for first — each with only 10% support.
The top five: Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, Mike Huckabee, Marco Rubio and Scott Walker.
Rounding out the top ten, according to Quinnipiac: Rand Paul (7%), Ted Cruz (6%), Donald Trump (5%), Chris Christie (4%), Carly Fiorina (2%) and John Kasich (2%).
The real Republican leader: undecided, at 20%.
“Safe to say, the 2016 Republican presidential primary is anyone’s race,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. “With no front-runner and identical numbers for the top five contenders, it’s a horserace which can only be described as a scrambled field — at least so far.”
The poll also shows all the Republican candidates losing a general election matchup with the Democratic frontrunner, Hillary Clinton.

Hillary hangs us at 52 %.

Not having any challengers on the DEM side is just as messed up as the "Clown Show" on the GOP side. I just hope the GOP does not allow Trump any platform as he is the single biggest clown.

Pick the guy you think is best for the country and send him money. It's really that simple.

I foresee a problem for Cruz breaking out of the pack in the so-called debates. Ten people on the stage and three minute answers, all you get are soundbites.

There are about 16 in the mix and I'm not excited about any of them. Maybe there's a dark horse out there somewhere.
Jim Webb is polling at about 1% for the democrats.....I am hoping he breaks out and takes the nomination.

I'm excited about a bunch of them. Just none that ran last time or last named Bush.

My hope is that a couple of them have the balls to tell the "moderator" to "STFU...we're debating". Cruz and Paul have shown the ability to do that. Will they? I don't know.

As I've posted. I've sent money to Cruz and will keep doing so. There are several others I could support. No Bush's and no Paul's. I'm afraid the apple did not fall far from the tree. Rand seems to be just as goofy as his daddy. I would also say Christy and Trump are just wasting their time. Hasbeen

Seems to be very little down side to running for POTUS. You get your face on the screen and build your resume.
