An Epic Battle Begins for the GOP Nomination

Joe Klein: “Nothing much is going on right now in the 2016 presidential campaign–unless you’re a Republican political junkie, in which case every day is Christmas or, perhaps, Halloween.

Or that the very former governor of New York, George Pataki, thinks he’s a candidate?

But that leaves 15 or more candidates either in it or circling.”
