Come join out party, not just anyone will do (Part 12)...

And so, now, I hope, the Republican Clown Bus is full since Ohio Governor John Kasich joined the running (although how he fit on there with Christie's girth and Trump's ego is beyond me).

Now, I suppose, the only other changes I'll be making to this list will be when the Republican candidates start dropping out.  "When will that be, Polt?", you ask?  Dont know.  I'm certain more than half of them will be gone after the New Hampshire primary but before the South Carolina primary.  I suppose a few could drop out before the Iowa Caucases, especially the ones who dont get to be in the main debates.  But if I had to bet, I'd say, Pataki would be the first to go.  I mean, he's one who shouldn't even have entered the race in the first place.  On the Democratic side, I'd say Chaffee's probably the first one to leave.  After all, I've not really even heard a peep from him since he announced and made the Metric system his first policy statement.

Anyway, here's the list:

Democrats
Hillary Clinton: April 12, 2015 - 94 days
Bernie Sanders: April 30, 2015 - 81 days
(even though he's really an Independent)
Martin O'Malley: May 30, 2015 - 55 days
Lincoln Chafee: June 3, 2015 - 49 days
Jim Webb: July 2, 2015 - 20 days

And the clown car bus that IS the Republican candidates
Ted Cruz: March 23, 2015 - 120 days
Rand Paul: April 7, 2015 - 106 days
Marco Rubio: April 13, 2015 - 93 days

Carly Fiorina: May 4, 2015 - 79 days
Mike Huckabee: May 5, 2015 - 78 days
Rick Santorum: May 27, 2015 - 55 days
George Pataki: May 28, 2015 - 54 days
Lindsay Graham: June 1, 2015 - 51 days
