How fast can the clown car go with five clowns sitting in the driver’s seat? I don’t know. I’m not a Republican.
A new poll released on Thursday tells the tale of The Five.
The group, which includes former Florida governor Jeb Bush, who has yet to declare his candidacy, and Senator Marco Rubio, was clustered at 10 percent support each, with none beating Clinton in head-to-head matchups.
Also bunched at the top, according to the Quinnipiac University poll, are three arch-conservatives: Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker; former Arkansas governor, onetime preacher and Fox television show host Mike Huckabee; and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, the only likely African-American in the crowded Republican field.
Libertarian-leaning Senator Rand Paul, in the spotlight recently for his opposition to the US government’s controversial surveillance of millions of Americans, earned seven percent, while rival Senator Ted Cruz came in at six percent and business magnate Donald Trump received five percent.
