Cruz wins presidential straw poll at GOP summit

[A Simple Game]

45. Two weeks from the election the bench probably doesn't matter anymore.

A new candidate can be nominated but in hurry up politics who gets the nomination could be scary. The Republicans supposedly would use a hurry up convention and the Democrats would let the DNC nominate someone but the method used is not really known. In either case it probably would be hard to play catch up. If the tragedy were to happen less than two weeks out then probably you would be stuck with the Vice Presidential candidate.

I always hope for the best candidates to run, you never know they may win. A good Republican may not be as good as a bad Democrat but is still better than a bad Republican.
