If Trump wasn't running and that was the Republican host of candidates, this election would already be in the bag. Hillary Clinton would be already on her way to the white house. I couldn't see a single one of them on stage actively combating the MSM/Hillary and winning like Trump has. Hell, the only reason Bernie is doing as well as he is, is because Trump absolutely obliterated Hillary over Bill's womanizing past when she tried to attack Trump. Otherwise, Hillary would still be in the lead by far.

 

Sad to say, but It would be an overwhelming defeat for the GOP if Donald Trump wasn't in the race and leading the pack. That shows how far the quality of candidates has fallen. Rand Paul and Ted Cruz may be good conservative ideologues, but there wasn't a person on that stage who has the charisma, the aura, or the influence to best the Democrat media machine.
