17. In terms of electability or in terms of the prospect of them being in office?

Feb 2016

In terms of electability:

Kasich--Could benefit from independent votes
Rubio--A lightweight robot, but I still think he could do some damage with shallow minded independents
Jeb
Trump
Cruz
Carson

In terms of who I fear if he gets into office:

Trump--Absolutely terrifies me. His ego will run rampant, and his incompetence will destroy the country

Cruz--Hard right ideologically, but I don't see him getting a whole lot done because he's burned so many bridges
Carson
Jeb
Rubio
Kasich--Not a ringing endorsement, mind you. Still the least worst of the worst.
