Bush will come across as as dimwitted, weak willed and too liberal for the base.

Trump will implode in some loudmouthed spew.

The others will all have dedicated but smaller followings.

That leaves Walker as the most destructive and blindly ideological candidate which is exactly what the base wants.

…

That is unless the ability to play the game Operation impresses the hell out of our bumpkin brethren.
