The Republican Party of 2015 is, amazingly, a mean spirited, nasty, uncaring bunch, and this includes many potential Presidential candidates.
The potential nominees who stand out for these ugly traits include:
Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey
Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin
Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana
Congressman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin
Former Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania
Former Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas
Former Governor Rick Perry of Texas
Senator Ted Cruz of Texas
Retired Pediatric Surgeon Dr. Benjamin Carson of Maryland
At the same time, there are a few Republicans who might run for President, who do NOT come across with these ugly traits, including:
Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky
Senator Marco Rubio of Florida
Former Governor Jeb Bush of Florida
Governor John Kasich of Ohio
Former Governor Jon Huntsman of Utah (if only he could be convinced to enter the race, highly unlikely at this point)
If any of the first group becomes the nominee of the GOP, it will make the most extremist right wing nominee in the 160 year history of the party that had such luminaries as Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Gerald Ford, and George H. W. Bush. And it is an insurance that the GOP would suffer a massive defeat and repudiation in the Presidential race of 2016!
