It's going to come down to Bush or Fiorina with Rubio trailing just behind them.

Bush is not just an establishment candidate but is really the establishment candidate in the Republican field at the moment. Despite the weight of his political name, people seem to have disassociated him from his brother to a degree. Don't forget he is the money candidate in this election on the Republican side as well. His policies on immigration reform, however, might be contrary to the de facto stance of the GOP. The other side to that is that he should poll favorably with the hispanic/latino community.

Fiorina is more than a novelty imo. The woman has a cutting intelligence, and is moderate enough to pull undecideds. She may also pull some votes from women who feel a degree of disillusionment with Hillary. She is a strong candidate not really for her policies, but for her rigid corporate image which shows that she can rumble in a male-dominated environment.

Rubio looks like he could be the poster-boy for the GOP. He's a clean cut guy with pretty much hardline conservative principles, and should win some voters who eventually defect from the Trump bandwagon, but I feel he is actually too conservative to win the nomination. I feel that he would lose decidedly to the Dems in the general election. He also flipflopped on his immigration stance which shows he just about the politics.

Donald J. Trump said:
@JahFocus CS, you are a tremendous poster. World class. We are going to make Ameica great again. #Trumpset. I get great support from the blacks. By the way, I was in SC today meeting with the black chamber of commerce. Great people. Just fantastic. I'm going to win with the blacks.

Lightweight @Mephistopheles has been very negative on Trump. Very negative. I'm leading in the polls but he brings up Rubio....Rubio is a nice guy, but he isn't going to win.

Why doesn't pathetic @Mephistopheles, bring up my poll numbers vs Rubio or Bush? Because he likes to support low energy candidates like he supports low energy Tim Duncan.

Jeb Bush doing well with hispanics is a mythical assumption.

Rubio won't win because of one word 'amnesty'.People aren't factoring how angry the republican base are and it's to do with the tea party. But not in the way you think. The base donated and supported all these 'tea party' candidates for the senate ,and many were actually successful,but they did nothing when they got to the senate.They bascially went native ,and went in with the republican establishment. The base is looking to punish the establishment,they feel betrayed by the tea party they are talking of 'traitors' within , and some issues really wind them up,one of them is candidates being associated with amnesty for illegal immigrants. Do you know how many bills that have come before the president that he has had to veto 4 ,4!!! in his time in office. That is the lowest number in the history of any president. That shows you how lazy the republican establishment have been ,they have been no opposition on issues the base really care about.

Trump really isn't a stupid man, and I believe he is going to win the nomination despite the media being against him,despite the republican party being against him,it is an extremely unusual situation.In fact the republican establishments opposition to him, could mean he find's it more difficult or loses against the democrat party nominee. And you wouldn't know but the democrat party isn't in great shape either, there are huge tensions within ,accusations of annointing clinton, and clinton isn't that popular with the people . So they republican party could well throw the election because they can't stand trump. Partly it's because the big money donors within the republican party refuse to support any candidate who doesn't believe in amnesty.Hell fox news believes in amnesty ,though you wouldn't think it.

I don't believe the base will fall in line this time, because Trump is perfect for the times. He is angry just like them,he feels betrayed just like this, he thinks America is in serious trouble just like them . He is them. That is what they believe. Bush is already dead, stop talking about Bush, in time Bush will drop out and pledge support for rubio. Floriana's sole purpose in the race is to damage and ideally destroy trump. Look at her background,there is no way she could possibly be president,all she is is an attack dog. Carson is still there for that reason as well. It will comedown to Trump vs Rubio and trump will win in my opinion.
