First, it’s enormous. There’s no modern precedent for a field this large, with 16 major candidates (plus scores of unknowns) officially in the hunt. It’s a headache for all involved: The candidates struggle to get attention; voters are swamped by a deluge of information; the media struggle to keep track of the candidates; pollsters grapple with the unwieldiness of their automated systems; the GOP scrambles to keep things in control; and TV networks puzzle over how to organize a debate.

I think the amount of candidates they have shows their fickle ignorance and need to have all decisions made for them.
