POWER RANKINGS: Here's who has the best chance at being our next president

[wyldwolf]

... we take another look at who has the best chance of making it to the White House to succeed President Barack Obama.

Our rankings are based on the Real Clear Politics averages of national polls and those in the states of South Carolina and Nevada. We also factored in the candidates' delegate count and their finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire, as well their momentum (or lack thereof) over the past few weeks.

8. Ben Carson, Republican, retired neurosurgeon
7. Jeb Bush, Republican, former Florida governor
6. John Kasich, Republican, Ohio governor
5. Marco Rubio, Republican, senator from Florida
4. Bernie Sanders, Democrat, senator from Vermont
3. Ted Cruz, Republican, senator from Texas
2. Donald Trump, Republican, businessman
1. Hillary Clinton, Democrat, former secretary of state

Because I really think he's the easiest to beat.

8. Too risky. We'd be dead if somehow he got it.

3. I wonder how many minutes it will take

Before the swarm of Berniacs arrive to debunk this article and say all kinds of bad things about the people behind it.
After all, if Bernie isn't portrayed as the next Messiah it just HAS to be a biased article.
Right?

4. Better move it to the Hillary group now!

Hermetically sealed!
