Let\u2019s look at what the candidates have to say!<\/p>\n

Chris Christie is at chrischristie.com<\/a>; his tag line is \u201cTelling it like it is.\u201d \u00a0He has a bit of a platform on entitlements, the economy, education, and foreign policy.<\/p>\n

John Kasich is at johnkasich.com<\/a>; not too much in the way of issues except that he touts his budget-balancing and foreign policy experience. \u00a0Bonus: \u00a0a summary from PBS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Scott Walker \u2014 well, there\u2019s a pattern<\/a>. \u00a0Again, the only platform is visible in his biography.<\/p>\n

Carly Fiorina: \u00a0 carlyforpresident.com<\/a>. \u00a0Nope, nothing on the issues.<\/p>\n

marcorubio.com<\/a>: \u00a0at last, another candidate who wants to tell us what he thinks about issues! \u00a0Of course, I had forgotten before that he has the lousy tax reform plan<\/a>, but at least he\u2019s got something to offer.<\/p>\n

So, look, I\u2019m just taking a quick break before starting on vacation packing, but I wanted to get at least a first start at compiling this.<\/p>\n
