Connections: The Republican Presidential Contenders

The Republican contenders are going to debate for the first time on Thursday night, so we're asking our panel to debate which Republicans have the best chance to win the nomination. Yes, Donald Trump is dominating the polls. And yes, many national pundits now say that Trump has a better chance than they first thought. But what about the rest? What about John Kasich, and the candidate who don't get the Trump airtime? We'll talk about all of them with our panel:

  • Jesse Sleezer, Leader of the Irondequoit Republican Committee
  • Tom Hebert, Greece native and treasurer of College Republicans at American University
  • Tim Kneeland, chair of the department of history and political science at Nazareth College
