Well, most of the likely 2016 presidential candidates have either entered the race or are about to.
Here are my humble opinions about each candidate in 1 sentence or less.
Mind you, I am just an average guy, so these are my honest opinions and are not influenced by anything other than what I have read about each candidate.
From the GOP Side and in no particular order:
Jeb Bush: Oh my no, not another Bush.
Dr. Ben Carson: Good conservative but too radical on some issues to win.
Chris Christie: 4 years too late
Ted Cruz: Good conservative but not popular enough nationwide
Carly Fiorina: Can't get over the fact she was fired from Hewlett-Packard.
Lindsey Graham: In it for his ego
Mike Huckabee: Apparently, didn't get the message 8 years ago when he didn't win the GOP nomination for president
Bobby Jindal: Great views and a governor but country will not vote for an Indian (Asian- not Native American) president
John Kasich: A RINO running as a conservative
George Pataki: Why?
Rand Paul: Will as successful as his dad.
Rick Perry: Might have been a great candidate except for the trumped up charges made by the Democrats.
Marco Rubio: Young with good looks (just like me), Hispanic- great Vice President material
Rick Santorum: Trying to sell a book otherwise, why?
Donald Trump: Won't win but will drive the conversations and issues.
Scott Walker: Best chance to win in 2016- knows how to beat Democrats and already has the thick skin.
Lincoln Chafee: Bad looks and why, except to feed his ego.
Hillary Clinton: Scandal, scandal, scandal and press will turn on her.
Martin O'Malley: Should be doing better
Bernie Sanders: Put a clown nose on him and he will look like the clown that he really is.
Jim Webb: Democrat wild card and Hillary should be more scared of him more than Sanders
Joe Biden: Will fail because of 1 word: Obama.
So, here are my feelings on the 22 leading candidates for the democrats and Republican parties.
My dream ticket for the GOP would be Scott walker playing the president with Marco Rubio as his faithful sidekick.
I also don't see Hillary winning the democratic primary and then there will be a huge race to see who will take her place. If she does make it htrough the primaries, I feel she will be too damaged to win in the 2016 election.
