I saw a picture of Carly Fiorina in one of those garbage "around the web" ads at the bottom of a CNN article.  And I was like, oh yeah, she used to exist.  Does anyone miss any of these lovely candidates and wish we could have them back?  Or are we so over them?

Yes to basically everyone on the list, mostly for comedic reasons, except for snooze-fests Pataki, Kasich, Fiorina.

I genuinely miss Rand Paul for having the best ideas in the field. Ted Cruz OTOH seriously wore out his welcome (even for someone who supported him for half a year.)

Lincoln Chafee, Jim Webb, Ben Carson, Lindsey Graham, and Jim Gilmore all brought hilarity that will be sorely missed. Jeb Bush was not really funny so much as a comedic foil for The Donald.

Why exactly would a "Democrat" from Maryland support Ted Cruz?

I'm eagerly looking forward to Paul re-assuming his prominent role in the Senate.

If the disagreements I had with him were the fault lines between Dems and the GOP, I feel like we'd be doing alright as a country.

I think Jim Webb's voice could have been a valuable addition to the dialogue going on within the Dem party now, reminding us all of a group of Americans currently neglected by DC.

Lincoln Chaffee was an adorable owl.

Bernie:  See banner in my profile.

Paul:  Despite a number of disagreements, I like his positions on a number of issues (i.e. foreign policy).

Christie:  For his takedown of Rubio.

Where's the no one choice? They are all losers. They should just shut up and go home.

They did shut up and go home.

That's what happens when you drop out of the race.

Just saying.

He's a libertarian Democrat.

Chafee. I was actually laughing out loud when I heard he was considering a run. It came out of left field. I'm sad that he didn't stick around longer.

I'd never thought I'd want another Bush but with these two criminals...Jeb "please clap" Bush is still better.  But ideally Rand Paul.  Too bad Trump's entrance killed his hopes right away.
