#2 One is Rubio, who declared forcefully early in the debate that he would present the starkest future-vs.-past contrast to Clinton. Another is Kasich, this year's version of the compassionate conservative.

Gotta love how the Post tries to pick the Reps candidates for them.

Bush, who was less forceful on the stage than some of the others, lacks the freshness of Kasich or Rubio or Walker. But his more moderate views on immigration, his desire to expand the GOP coalition and his experience give Democrats pause.

"Don't throw us in that briar Bush, Republicans!"

Walker makes the case for himself as a fresh face, a Washington outsider and a results-oriented politician. He has been a divisive

Translation: "effective".

If he can be trusted on scamnesty--a big if--then Walker is my top choice.
