GOP Strategists Worried Number of Republican 2016 Contenders Could Help the Democrats

Don't wanr a crowded primary

GOP strategists are starting to worry that the sheer number of potential candidates for the party's 2016 presidential nomination could give an advantage to Democrats.

More than two dozen Republicans are eyeing the GOP presidential nomination, while on the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton looks like she could coast to the crown.

It's not the number that's the problem, it's the momentum-wasting civil war that'll ruin their chances. Meanwhile, Hillary is the ONLY Dem candidate????

I fully agree. The Republicans ravage themselves in the primary then come together for phony reconciliation at the convention.

Newt Gingrich did more to get Obama elected than many democrats.

It's 20-fucking-13. Is there anything to this story other than a way for some opinionators to sound important?
