How Potential 2016 GOP Presidential Candidates Fared on Campaign Trail
Published at(WASHINGTON) — We know that Election Day 2014 left the Democrats seeing red. But with midterms behind us, the focus now shifts to 2016.
The midterms gave potential 2016 presidential nominees a chance to hit the campaign trail early — for other candidates, of course.
Bill and Hillary Clinton maintained a frenzied schedule on the campaign trail for Democrats. As did Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley. But as it turns out, the candidates they endorsed — like so many Democrats — didn’t fare so well, despite their travels.
Big name Republicans who might end up running for president in 2016 hit the stump too: Chris Christie, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and Rick Perry.
