Top 7 Reasons Why Rand Paul Will Be the GOP Nominee

4. A bloated primary field awaits decongestion.

Americans love having an array of choices. However, if they are given too many, it can prevent them from making a commitment. There is perhaps no better example than this year’s Republican primary field. With 17 different candidates from very different backgrounds, paying attention to the contest in its early state is even more undesirable to many voters.

Once the also-rans (namely Pataki, Gilmore, Graham, Jindal, Santorum and Perry) leave the race and whittle the field down, Republicans will be able to take a stronger interest in a still very vast field of candidates. When this happens, Paul will be able to further exemplify his previously-mentioned unique stances and draw more voters into his corner as the rest split votes among various groups.
