Hopefully the above will help you understand.

I actually think it's his to lose at this point. Who else is going to beat him on the GOP side? Although extremely early, right now it is quite possible we'll see a Hillary vs. Rudi final. I think Rudi's skeletons do him less harm in this match-up. Right now, I think match-ups will serve some candidates better than others.

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him."
Leo Tolstoy, 1897
