With 15 major Republicans already declared – the best presidential field since Ronald Reagan ran for re-election – GOP voters should be able to tap a very strong candidate to lead their party next year. Which one would best unify and represent them?

Good cases certainly can be made for (in alphabetic order) Dr. Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, Bobby Jindal, Rand Paul, Rick Perry and Marco Rubio.

The GOP Barn is empty for the presidency in 2016-and wise Democrats are all rooting for Romney Trump Kamikaze ticket. The economy is doing well, gasoline prices are way down, and he handled the Ebola "crisis" perfectly.

A sober assessment of Barack Obama 's job with the economy:

The delightfully great and fresh gossip from a New York Fundraiser that Mitt Romney may yet try again to be our lected president delights every Democrat with their thinking cap on.
