Thee's a lot of voters in our nation who are dissatisfied with economic conditions in our nation and blame it on two of the last three administrations. They are the people who say, "No more Bushes and no more Clintons." I feel the Republican voter turnout would have been significantly depressed had Bush the brother won the nomination which would have worked to Hillary's advantage.
However i do feel Rubio would have done better than Jeb. He's young and somewhat charismatic. He would have pulled in a high percentage of the Hispanic vote but I'm not sure if he could have pulled off a win in the end.
Cruz impresses me as very intelligent but he is simply not likeable. He is also in my opinion far to conservative to win in today's environment.
Kasich is boring and dull. if he would have won the Republican nomination many conservative leaning voters would have set at home watching sitcoms, eating pizza and drinking beer on election day.
I seriously believe Trump was the wrong candidate at exactly the right time for him to win. In any normal presidential election year he would have failed to win the nomination. This was a change election and many voters were so pissed they didn't just want change, they wanted to burn the establishment down. Trump may well be the Molotov cocktail to do just that.
