Who is the leader of the Republicans? Poll: nobody

A Pew Research poll asked Republican voters whom they thought of as the Republican leader.   Here are the results:    56% picked either "I don't know" or "Nobody."

34%     I don't know
22%     Nobody
19%     Other (< 3%)
10%     John Boehner
 5%      Marco Rubio
 3%      John McCain
 3%      Rand Paul
 3%      Paul Ryan 
They have some work to do.  The 2016 presidential race has already begun -- and Hillary Clinton is already being declared the winner.

In a Daily Beast article, conservative political writer Myra Adam, listed "16 Reasons Why Hillary Clinton Will Win 2016."    They range from "there's a great social movement to have a woman president," to an Obama-type campaign organization, to "barrels of money," to electoral college/demographic advantage, to Bill Clinton, to a weak Republican bench . . . and on and on.

Still . . . it's a long time until 2016.
