2016 Republican Presidential Candidate Spectrum - Conservative/Moderate and Insider/Outsider

It's only January 2015, but for all intents and purposes, it's 2016 in the political world. There's no shortage of names that have expressed interest for the GOP nomination. Here's a current list (in alphabetical order):
  • Jeb Bush 
  • Ben Carson 
  • Chris Christie 
  • Ted Cruz 
  • Carly Fiorina 
  • Mike Huckabee 
  • Bobby Jindal 
  • John Kasich 
  • Rand Paul 
  • Mike Pence 
  • Rick Perry 
  • Mitt Romney 
  • Marco Rubio 
  • Rick Santorum 
  • Scott Walker


This chart places these 15 potential candidates in a traditional moderate-to-conservative spectrum, and along an outsider-to-establishment axis.

Only one of these individuals will walk away with the nomination. Although there is still a year until the Iowa Caucuses, the games have begun.
