Which GOP hopeful would be the toughest candidate?

[edhopper]

Forget who you think will get the nomination, or leads the polls.
Who would give the Dem nominee the hardest challenge?

Sure, they are all imbecilic clowns, but that hasn't detected the American voters before.

1. Scott "Generic Republican" Walker

Generic Republican is usually their strongest candidate

2. I seriously don't know

As you say they are all imbecilic clowns.

Who was the guy from Utah that we worried about for awhile in 2008 or 2012 - Jon somebody? Because he was actually serious and rather moderate. If they can find someone the least bit statesmanlike. McCain and Romney were the best they could do before. And McCain couldn't pick a serious running mate.

3. Walker, Kasich, or any of the few others who

aren't overtly clownish and can pretend to be 'compassionate conservatives', even though their records show them as heartless haters of the poor and working class.

5. Bush...

he has the money and the family ties....and will cheat and do whatever he has to, to win...

[olddots]

6. toughest or chewiest ?

all of them would taste vile but a bottle of chianti and some fahva beans could help .

[leftynyc]

7. Kasich and Walker

Either one of those would be a challenge. Especially Kasich.

[madville]

8. Walker could potentially be

He has survived and stood up to all the backlash in Wisconsin and even a recall election, he's got a track record of beating liberals/unions and winning.

I could see a Walker/Rubio ticket.

The Ohio governor is a wildcard right now as well. I say him, Jeb and Walker are the likely contenders for the nomination right now.

9. I'd say Kasich, he appears to be sane...n/t
