    So, the media never looks into the pasts of Democratic candidates, right?

    Snickering over Republicans not being able to muster a decent candidate was a lot more fun before Clinton became the left's default.

    But she can win. That's the difference.

    Ben Carson as a presidential candidate, with traction, is beyond preposterous.

    I love people telling us who can and who can't win.

    I think you're underestimating how much Clinton's presence on the ticket motivates reverse turnout, and how much the nomination would legitimize anyone, including Carson.

    She's been a United States senator and the Secretary of State. To say her candidacy is a joke on par with the Ben Carson clown show is not an assertion to be taken seriously.

    I didn't say her candidacy was a joke.

    And I think there's a subtle difference between "no good candidates" and "a bad candidate has a chance to win."

    When my kids see me watching a game on TV, they'll always ask me, "Who's going to win, Dad?" My answer is always the same.

    "That's why they play."

    I think Rubio and Christie are tremendous candidates.

    All teams don't have an equal chance.

    That's why they play -- to find out who has a chance.
