Not just from his scandals but because he palled around with Obama, and he got rid of gay conversion therapy and allowed marriage equality into New Jersey. There's no way the conservatives would go for him no matter how much they like a bully.

I don't see Jindal ever making it as a presidential nominee. After 8 years of Obama, conservatives are even more invested into getting a white guy (preferably old) into the White House. And that probably won't subside anytime soon for him. Also an under the radar campaign like always referring to Obama as Barack Hussein Obama would probably be started on Piyush "Bobby" Jindal.

I can see the possibility of Jeb jumping in though if the Bush name has pretty much been exorcised from the vocabulary of republicans, I don't think he would do that well with the rest of the country either.

Mitt won't run again. Actually having to work for something instead of just being given it like everything else has soured him, and republicans have been inventing reasons why he lost in 2012 like he wasn't tough enough or conservative enough.

I do think Huckabee believes there's a path for him which is why he's cranking things up recently, and I piss off republican friends by saying that Perry is probably thinking of running again because he's wearing those fake glasses to make him at least appear smarter.
