With eight official entrants, the GOP presidential race looks like the running of the bulls. Seven more candidates are expected; eight if you count Donald Trump. If they all run, it’ll be the biggest presidential field in any political party in American history.

Last Wednesday Rick Santorum got in. Like most politicians now, he shuns policy specifics in favor of long riffs on his own life, or his parents’ lives. Presidential candidates live privileged lives, so we hear a lot about hardships their parents suffered. Santorum’s dad was a coal miner; Marco Rubio’s was a bartender; Mike Huckabee’s a fireman. George Pataki got in on Thursday. His dad was a mailman and his mom a waitress, but he went to Yale and got a law degree at Columbia.

1. Oh he is bringing it.

He is actually running a campaign right now and talking to people even those who can't pay to attend his rallies. I hope he does get to implement some or all of his ideas on debates being held between the Democrats running and the Republicans running, before we have actual nominees.

2. Bernie's free-for-all debate idea

That idea is causing huge problems in all the campaigns. Bernie has brought it right to them and stuck it in their faces. It will be awhile before any of them are brave as Bernie to suggest it is a great idea and is good for the country.

Bernie is amazing and he'll be bringing new ideas all the time. The competition will be flummoxed, and seen floundering, as they struggle to deal with a real democratic statesman like the Bern.
