So this is fun. Quinnipiac's poll of the primaries got the favorability/unfavorability numbers on the candidates among members of their party. (The favorability of the Democratic candidates with Democrats and Republicans with Republicans)

fav/unfav % among Dems:

Biden 83/6% for +77%
Clinton 76/11% for +65%
Sanders 54/8% for +46%
Webb 11/10% for +1%
O’Malley 12/13% for -1%
Chafee 8/10% for -2%

It's interesting that "only" 87% of Democrats have an opinion of Hillary Clinton. Also check out the bottom three for having unfavorables matching or surpassing their favorables.

fav/unfav % among Republicans:

Rubio 72/3% for +69%
Carson 62/6% for +56%
Huckabee 64/15 for +49%
Walker 52/5% for +47%
Bush 59/17% for +42%
Fiorina 49/8% for +41%
Cruz 54/13% for +41%
Kasich 36/5% for +31%
Jindal 36/5% for +31%
Perry 45/16% for +29%
Trump 59/30% for +29%
Santorum 38/20% for +18%
Christie 39/32% for +7%
Paul 35/35% for +/-0
Pataki 15/17% for -2%
Gilmore 6/11% for -5%
Graham 23/28% for -5%

Rand Paul is the most hated Republican by Republicans with 35% disapproval, followed by Christie's 32% and Trump's 30%. Notice Marco Rubio's absurd halo.Also notice that Jeb Bush and Donald Trump have the exact same favorable number, 59% of Republicans. Finally, look at Lindsay Graham and laugh at how a guy with only 51% of Republicans taking an opinion could have 28% disapproval.

The thing about Trump is he can throw out all this red meat to the extremely racist republican base to get the nomination, then just pivot into a more mainstream candidate for the general election and if anyone calls him on it he'll just call them a loser and mock them on twitter.

Haha, of course the Morouns donated to Walker. That's probably enough to sink Walker's hopes of getting Michigan in the general, though-if there's any one thing everyone in this state can agree on, it's gently caress Matty "Ultimate rear end in a top hat" Moroun.

Apostasy on immigration. Not a huge amount of ridiculous red meat to appeal to the base. Most of the Florida Republican establishment and donors are on Team Bush. And I think there's kind of a general perception that he'll have more of a chance next time around.

Also he attends both Catholic and Southern Baptist services, which is some weak-rear end poo poo.
