The 2016 election is still 464 days away and the Republican field is wide open.  It is less than a week until the first televised Republican candidate debate for 2015.  There are about 17 candidates that are eligible for one of the 10 slots as reported by The Atlantic here:

Each one is vying for a coveted slot to get to get their chance to shine in the public eye.  The first debate performance will determine who becomes the target for donation money and the public adoration.  We have the whole range of characters that seem to support everything from throwing all the illegal aliens into a pit of fire to making them members of Congress.  However, we have a voice that started as a fringe nuisance to the establishment conservatives and become a full blown force majeure.

Drum roll please.
