Does this mean the establishment vote will be split so that a more conservative candidate can get the nomination, or does flooding the primary process with a bunch of establishment candidates ultimately result in an establishment nominee.
What the number and diversity of Republican candidates shows is that the real party of freedom, tolerance and opportunity is the GOP - at least of the two major parties.
The spectacle of spineless Democrats holding their noses while cowering under the glare of Clinton's scowl is really quite disgusting.

I totally agree Bob. Even if I personally don't like a majority of the candidates, I'd rather see them slug it out in the primaries than see a coronation of a candidate that everyone is scared of going against.
Earlier this year Mitt said he wasn't going to run only to tease that he might run only to announce he's not going to run. The guy flip flops on everything, but there's still time for him to squeeze into the car.
"Clown car?" The only truly non-serious candidate is Trump (though one could question Huckabee's motives also). The others, while we might disagree with them and work actively against them in the primaries, are all decent men and a woman who have honest reasons and solid qualifications for seeking the job.
Put it this way: even including Trump, the worst GOP candidate is better than every candidate the Democrats have fielded in the past forty years put together.
