The Nine Losers Running for President

 
By Rick Wilson

Tonight’s debate will feature a number of real presidential contenders, and a greater number of people who should drop out already.

There are six candidates in the Republican primary who deserve to be there for various reasons.

Donald Trump, because he’s a giant political kaiju, tearing through Tokyo with abandon. While ultimately vulnerable, until he’s brought down, he’s tremendously powerful.

Jeb Bush, because love him or hate him, he’s still got fat stacks and a big network.

Marco Rubio, because he’s the greatest natural politician in the field, and if you think calling him “the Republican Obama” is an effective insult, you should go work in retail, not politics.

Ben Carson, because he’s the superego of the GOP to Trump’s id, and while his “campaign” isn’t much to look at, he’s a safe harbor for a lot of GOP voters right now who are sick of D.C. but can’t go the full Trump. (And you never go full Trump.)
