  Republican presidential candidate Bobby Jindal on Friday sternly criticized Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, saying he should 'follow the example' of House Speaker John Boehner and resign his position.
  
  Jindal, the current governor of Louisiana and lagging near the bottom of the Republican presidential field in nearly all polls, has long waged an outsider campaign against
  the so-called 'D.C. establishment,' a clear reference to
  leaders like McConnell and Boehner.
  
  But Jindal's own behavior at Friday's Values Voter
  Summit seemed to undercut his message.
  
  
  Just minutes after declaring his credentials as one of the most pro-life governors in the country, Jindal conducted three back-to-back TV interviews at the back
  of the ballroom while speakers onstage were discussing the recent,
  controversial Planned Parenthood videos. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal on Friday called on Senate
  Republican Leader Mitch McConnell to 'follow the example' of
  House Speaker John Boehner, who announced his retirement earlier Friday morning
  
  
  
  
  
  Jindal went on to slam congressional Republicans for 'refusing to fight' President Obama on a variety of issues including
  de-funding Planned Parenthood, ending Obama's health care law and immigration reform
  
  Jindal's TV tour offended enough press and participants in the ballroom that one lady yelled at the anti-Planned Parenthood speaker on stage,
  'We can't hear you!' because of Jindal's constant
  talking.
  
  Others audibly 'shushed' Jindal during his interviews.
  Still others sent Tweets during the disturbance.
  
  
  
  
  Jindal's TV interviews at the back of the ballroom at
  the Values Voters Summit Friday in Washington did not go unnoticed by the audience
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  ‘Look,' Jindal told DailyMail.com in a hallway outside the ballroom, ‘we lowered our voice after the first interview once we realized, our
  voice - we didn't realize we were speaking that
  loud.'
  
  ‘So we did lower our voice after people pointed it out.'
  
  Others pointed it out as well. Laura Sprigs, sitting in the eighth row of the hall,
  told DailyMail.com that it was ‘unseemly' and ‘the governor embarrassed himself in front of everybody.'
  
  At one point while Jindal was speaking over David Daleiden, a
  member of the audience yelled aloud at the stage: ‘We can't hear you!'
  
  Daleiden leads the Center For Medical Progress, the group that has been releasing secretly-filmed videos of Planned Parenthood executives appearing to callously discuss the
  harvesting of fetal tissue. 
  
  Kyle Plotkin, Jindal's communications director, attributed the problem
  to ‘his staff,' not to the candidate. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  McConnell, like Boehner in the House, has struggled to govern his half of Congress while also pacifying angry
  - loud right-wing conservatives among his members
  
  Jindal's call for McConnell's resignation drew one of the loudest applause
  lines in his 20-minute speech, bringing the audience
  to their feet after it had previously - and loudly - applauded the news of Boehner's resignation earlier in the day.
  
  
  
  'It's time to fire everyone in D.C.,' Jindal said, raising his voice.
  
  'One down, 434 to go,' referring to the total size of the House of Representatives.' 
  
  Growing sharper, Jindal said Republican leaders have done no less than endorse the expansion of socialism under President Obama, repeating a common line of
  his stump speech that 'I am actually angrier with Republicans than Democrats right now,'
  
  'Republicans say they're conservatives during their campaigns, but they don't govern like it
  at all,' Jindal said.
  
  'On issue after issue, all they know how to do is give up.
  
  We did our work, we got the [congressional] majority.
  
  But we still have Obamacare, we still have amnesty.'
  
  'Mitch McConnell, it is now your turn. If you're not willing to fight for conservative principles, follow Speaker Boehner's example and turn in your gavel.'
  
  McConnell's office did not immediately respond to
  an invitation to comment.

  Going further, Jindal said his party has 'become the party of
  Big Business.'
  
  'It's time to fire these clowns and get them out of the way.
  Mitch McConnell, before the fight even starts, says we can't de-fund Planned Parenthood.
  
  
  'If we can't make protecting life a winning issue nationally, what good is the Republican Party?' 
  
  McConnell has been slowly steering the Senate toward a spending bill that would allow the
  federal government to continue operating past
  the end of the fiscal year in September.
  
  Jindal also found another target with his speech -- billionaire Donald Trump, the
  Republican front-runner in the race.
  
  Joking that Trump 'hasn't read the Bible because
  he's not in it,' Jindal said Trump cannot claim to
  be a conservative, liberal, Democrat or Republican.
  
  'I love the idea of Trump. I do. I love the idea of an outsider.
  
  I love the idea that he's politically incorrect. I
  love the fact that he's entertaining and not a part
  of the DC establishment.
  
  'But the reality of Donald Trump is very different...
  He's a narcissist,' Jindal said to strong applause.
  'He doesn't care about policy. So conservatives have a choice to make.'
  
  
  THE 2016 FIELD: WHO'S IN, WHO'S QUIT AND WHO'S STILL THINKING IT OVER
  
  A whopping 20 people from America's two major political parties are candidates in the 2016 presidential election.
  
  The field includes two women, an African-American and two Latinos.
  
  All but one in that group - Hillary Clinton - are Republicans.
  
  
  At 15 candidates, the GOP field is without two early
  dropouts but still deeper than ever after one current and one former governor bowed out.
  
  
  
  A few Democrats are still assessing their chances at succeeding in a much smaller group
  of five that includes a former secretary of state and a current senator.
  
  
  
  
  REPUBLICANS IN THE RACE 
  
  
  
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Jeb Bush       Former Florida governor
  
  Age on Election Day: 63
  
  Religion: Catholic
  
  Base: Moderates                
  
  Résumé: Former Florida governor and secretary of state.
  Former co-chair of the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy.
  
  
  
  Education: B.A. University of Texas at Austin.
  
  Family: Married to Columba Bush (1974), with three adult children. Noelle Bush has made news with her struggle with drug addiction,
  and related arrests. George P. Bush was elected Texas land commissioner in 2014.
  Jeb's father George H.W. Bush was the 41st President of the United States, and
  his brother George W. Bush was number 43.
  
  Claim to fame: Jeb was an immensely popular governor with strong economic and jobs
  credentials. He is also one of just two GOP candidates who is fluent in Spanish.
  
  
  Achilles heel: Bush has angered conservatives with his
  permissive positions on illegal immigration (saying some border-crossing is 'an act
  of love) and common-core education standards. His last name could
  also be a liability with voters who fear establishing a family dynasty in the White House.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Chris Christie        New Jersey governor
  
  Age on Election Day: 54
  
  Religion: Catholic
  
  Base: Establishment-minded conservatives
  
  Résumé: Governor of New Jersey. Former U.S. Attorney for the
  District of New Jersey. Former Morris County
  freeholder and lobbyist.
  
  Governor of New Jersey. Former U.S. Attorney for the District of New
  Jersey. Former Morris County freeholder. Former statehouse lobbyist.
  
  
  Education: B.A. University of Delaware, Newark, J.D.
  Seton Hall University.
  
  Family: Married to Mary Pat Foster (1986) with four children.
  
  Claim to fame: Pugnacious and unapologetic, Christie
  once told a heckler to 'sit down and shut up' and brings
  a brash style to everything he does. That includes the
  post-9/11 criminal prosecutions of terror suspects that made
  his reputation as a hard-charger.
  
  Achilles heel: Christie is often accused of embracing
  an ego-driven and needlessly abrasive style.
  His administration continues to operate under a 'Bridgegate' cloud:
  At least two aides have been indicted in an alleged scheme to shut down lanes
  leading to the George Washington Bridge as political retribution for a mayor who refused to endorse the
  governor's re-election.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Carly Fiorina         Former tech CEO
  
  Age on Election Day: 62
  
  Religion:      Episcopalian 
  
  Base: Conservatives
  
  Résumé: Former CEO of Hewett-Packard. Former group president of Lucent Technologies.
  Former U.S. Senate candidate in California.
  
  
  Education: B.A. Stanford University. UCLA School of Law (did not
  finish). M.B.A. University of Maryland. M.Sci. Massachusetts Institute
  of Technology.
  
  Family: Married to Frank Fiorina (1985), with one adult step-daughter and another who is deceased.
  She has two step-grandchildren. Divorced from Todd
  Bartlem (1977-1984).
  
  Claim to fame: Fiorina was the first woman to
  lead a Fortune 20 company, something that could provide ammunition against
  the Democratic Party's drive to make Hillary Clinton the first female president.
  She is also the only woman in the 2016 GOP field, making her
  the one Republican who can't be accused of sexism.
  
  
  Achilles heel: Fiorina's unceremonious firing by
  HP's board has led to questions about her management and leadership styles.
  And her only political experience has been a failed Senate bid in 2010 against Barbara Boxer.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Lindsey Graham  South Carolina senator
  
  Age on Election Day: 61
  
  Religion:        Southern Baptist
  
  Base: Otherwise moderate war hawks 
  
  Résumé: U.S. senator. Retired Air Force Reserves colonel.
  
  Former congressman. Former South Carolina state representative.
  
  
  
  Education: B.A. University of South Carolina. J.D. University of South
  Carolina Law School.
  
  Family: Never married. Raised his sister Darline after their parents died while he
  was a college student and she was 13.
  
  Claim to fame: Graham is a hawk's hawk, arguing consistently for greater intervention in the Middle East, once arguing in favor of pre-emptive military strikes against Iran. His influence was credited for pushing
  President George W. Bush to institute the 2007 military 'surge' in Iraq.
  
  
  
  Achilles heel: Some of his critics have taken to call him 'Grahamnesty,' citing his participating in a 2013 'gang
  of eight' strategy to approve an Obama-favored immigration bill.
  He has also aroused the ire of conservative Republicans by supporting global warming legislation and voting for some of the president's judicial nominees.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Bobby Jindal     Louisiana governor
  
  Age on Election Day: 45
  
  Religion: Catholic
  
  Base: Social conservatives 
  
  Résumé: Governor of Louisiana. Former congressman. Former Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services for
  Planning and Evaluation. Former Secretary of the Louisiana Department
  of Health and Hospitals.
  
  Education: B. Sci. Brown University. M.Litt. New College at
  Oxford University
  
  Family: Married to Supriya Jolly (1997), with three children, each of whom has an Indian first name and an American middle
  name. Bobby Jindal's given name is Piyush.
  
  
  Claim to fame: Jindal's main source of national attention has been his strident opposition to federal-level 'Common Core' education standards, which included a federal lawsuit that a judge dismissed in late March.
  He is also outspoken on the religious-freedom issues involved in mainstreaming gay
  marriage into the lives of American Christians.
  
  Achilles heel: During his first term as governor, Jindal signed a science education law that requires schools to present alternatives to
  the theory of evolution, including religious creationism.
  His staunch defense of businesses that want to steer clear of providing services to same-sex couples at their weddings
  will win points among evangelicals but alienate others.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  George Pataki      Former New York governor 
  
  Age on Election Day: 71 
  
  Religion: Catholic
  
  Base: Centrists
  
  Résumé: Former governor of New York.
  Former New York state senator and state assemblyman.
  Former mayor of Peekskill, NY.
  
  Education: B.A. Yale University. J.D. Columbia Law School.
  
  Family: Married to Libby Rowland (1973), with four adult children.
  
  Claim to fame: Pataki was just the third Republican governor in New York's history, winning an improbable victory over three-term incumbent Mario Cuomo in 1994.
  He was known for being a rare tax-cutter in Albany and was
  also the sitting governor when the 9/11 terror attacks rocked New York CIty in 2001.
  
  
  Achilles heel: While Pataki's liberal-leaning social agenda
  plays well in the Empire State, it won't win him any fans among the GOP's conservative base.
  He supports abortion rights and gay rights, and has
  advocated strongly in favor of government intervention to stop
  global warming, which right-wingers believe is overblown as
  a global threat.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Marco Rubio         Florida senator
  
  Age on Election Day: 45
  
  Religion:          Catholic
  
  Base: Conservatives
  
  Résumé: US senator, former speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, former city commissioner of West Miami
  
  Education: B.A. University of Florida. J.D. University of Miami School of Law.
  
  
  Family: Married to Jeanette Dousdebes (1998), with two sons and two daughters.
  Jeanette is a former Miami Dolphins cheerleader who posed for the
  squad's first swimsuit calendar. 
  
  Claim to fame: Rubio's personal story as the son of Cuban emigres
  is a powerful narrative, and helped him win his Senate seat in 2010 against a well-funded governor whom he initially trailed by 20
  points.
  
  Achilles heel: Rubio was part of a bipartisan 'gang of eight' senators who crafted an Obama-approved immigration reform bill in 2013 which never became law -
  a move that angered conservative Republicans. And
  he was criticized in 2011 for publicly telling a version of his parents' flight
  from Cuba that turned out to appear embellished.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Donald Trump     Real estate developer
  
  
  Age on Election Day: 70
  
  Religion:     Presbyterian 
  
  
  Base: Conservatives   
  
  Résumé: Chairman of The Trump Organization. Fixture on the
  Forbes 400 list of the world's richest people.
  
  Star of 'Celebrity Apprentice.'
  
  Education: B.Sci. Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania
  
  Family: Married to Melania Trump (2005). Divorced from Ivana Zelníčková (1977-92) and
  Marla Maples(1993-99). Five grown children. Trump's father Fred Trump amassed a $400
  million fortune developing real estate.
  
  Claim to fame: Trump's niche in the 2016 campaign stems from
  his celebrity as a reality-show host and his enormous wealth -
  more than $10 billion, according to Trump. Because he can self-fund an entire presidential campaign, he is seen as less beholden to donors
  than other candidates. He has grabbed the attention of
  reporters and commentators by unapologetically staking out controversial positions and refusing to budge in the face of criticism.
  
  
  Achilles heel: Trump is a political neophyte who has toyed with
  running for president and for governor of New York, but
  shied away from taking the plunge until now. His billions also have the potential to
  alienate large swaths of the electorate. And his Republican rivals have labeled him an ego-driven celeb and
  an electoral sideshow because of his all-over-the-map policy history -
  much of which agreed with today's today's democrats - and his past enthusiasm
  for anti-Obama 'birtherism.'
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Ben Carson       Retired Physician
  
  Age on Election Day: 65
  
  Religion:              Seventh-day Adventist
  
  Base: Evangelicals
  
  Résumé: Famous pediatric neurosurgeon, youngest person to head a major Johns Hopkins Hospital division. Founder
  of the Carson Scholars Fund, which awards scholarships to children of good character.
  
  
  Education: B.A. Yale University. M.D. University of Michigan Medical School.
  
  
  
  Family: Married to Candy Carson (1975), with three adult sons.
  The Carsons live in Maryland with Ben's elderly mother Sonya, who was a seminal influence on his life and development. 
  
  Claim to fame: Carson spoke at a National Prayer Breakfast in 2013, railing
  against political correctness and condemned Obamacare - with President Obama sitting just a few feet away.
  
  
  Achilles heel: Carson is inflexibly conservative,
  opposing gay marriage and once saying gay attachments formed in prison provided evidence that sexual orientation is a choice.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Ted Cruz            Texas senator
  
  Age on Election Day: 45
  
  Religion:         Southern Baptist
  
  Base: Tea partiers
  
  Résumé:U.S. senator. Former Texas solicitor general.
  Former U.S. Supreme Court clerk. Former associate deputy attorney general under President George W.
  Bush.
  
  Education: B.A. Princeton University. J.D. Harvard Law School.
  
  
  Family: Married to Heidi Nelson Cruz (2001), with two young daughters.
  His father is a preacher and he has two half-sisters.
  
  
  Claim to fame: Cruz spoke on the Senate floor for more than 21 hours in September 2013 to protest the
  inclusion of funding for Obamacare in a federal budget bill.
  (The bill moved forward as written.) He has called for
  the complete repeal of the medical insurance overhaul law, and
  also for a dismantling of the Internal Revenue Service.
  Cruz is also outspoken about border security.
  
  Achilles heel: Cruz's father Rafael, a Texas preacher, is a tea party firebrand who has said gay marriage is a government conspiracy and called President Barack Obama a Marxist who
  should 'go back to Kenya.' Cruz himself also has a reputation as
  a take-no-prisoners Christian evangelical, which
  might play well in South Carolina but won't win him points in the other early primary states and could cost him momentum
  if he should be the GOP's presidential nominee.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Jim Gilmore     Former Virginia governor
  
  Age on Election Day: 67
  
  Religion: United Methodist
  
      Base: Conservatives
  
  Résumé: Former governor and attorney general of Virginia.
  Former chairman of the Republican National Committee. Former U.S.
  Army intelligence agent. President and CEO of the Free Congress Foundation. Board
  member of the National Rifle Association
  
  Education: B.A. University of Virginia.
  
  Family: Married to Roxane Gatling Gilmore (1977), with two
  adult children. Mrs. GIlmore is a survivor of Hodgkin's lymphoma
  
  Claim to fame: Gilmore presided over Virginia when the
  9/11 terrorists struck in 1991, guiding the state through a difficult economic downturn after one of the hijacked airliners crashed into the Pentagon. He is
  nest known in Virginia for eliminating most of a much-maligned
  personal property tax on automobiles, working with a Democratic-controlled state
  legislature to get it passed and enacted.
  
  Achilles heel: Gilmore is the only GOP or Democratic candidate for president who has
  been the chairman of his political party, giving him a rap as an 'establishment' candidate.
  
  A social-conservative crusader, he is loathed by the left for championing the state law that established
  24-hour waiting periods for abortions. Gilmore also
  has a reputation as an indecisive campaigner, having dropped out of the 2008 presidential race in July 2007. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Mike Huckabee     Former Arkansas governor
  
  Age on Election Day: 61
  
  Religion: Southern Baptist 
  
  Base: Evangelicals
  
  Résumé: Former governor and lieutenant governor of Arkansas.
  Former Fox News Channel host. Ordained minister and author.
  
  
  Education: B.A. Ouachita Baptist University.
  Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (did not finish). 
  
  Family: Married to Janet Huckabee (1974), with three adult children.
  Mrs. Huckabee is a survivor of spinal cancer.
  
  Claim to fame: 'Huck' is a political veteran and has run for president before, winning the Iowa Caucuses in 2008
  and finishing second for the GOP nomination behind John McCain. He's known as an affable
  Christian and succeeded in building a huge following on his
  weekend television program, in which he frequently sat in on the electric
  bass with country & western groups and other 'wholesome'
  musical entertainers.
  
  Achilles heel: Huckabee may have a problem with female voters.
  
  He complained in 2014 about Obamacare's mandatory contraception coverage, saying Democrats want women to 'believe that
  they are helpless without Uncle Sugar.' He earned more
  scorn for hawking herbal supplements in early-2015 infomercials as
  a diabetes cure, something he has yet to disavow despite disagreement from medical experts.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  John Kasich       Ohio governor 
  
  Age on Election Day: 64 
  
  Religion: Anglican
  
  Base: Centrists 
  
  Résumé: Governor of New York. Former chairman of the U.S.
  
  House Budget Committee. Former Ohio congressman. Former
  Ohio state senator.
  
  Education: B.A. The Ohio State University.
  
  Family: Married to Karen Waldbillig (1997). Divorced from Mary Lee Griffith
  (1975-1980).
  
  Claim to fame: Kasich was Ohio youngest-ever member
  of the state legislature at age 25. He's known for a compassionate and working-class sensibility that appeals to both ends of the political spectrum.
  In the 1990s when Newt Gingrich led a Republican revolution that
  took over Congress, Kasich became the chairman of the House Budget Committee - a position for a wonk's wonk who understands the nuanced intricacies of how government runs.
  
  
  Achilles heel: Some of Kasich's political positions rankle conservatives, including his choice to expand Ohio's Medicare system
  under the Obamacare law, and his support for the much-derided 'Common Core' education standards
  program. 
  
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Rand Paul      Kentucky senator
  
  Age on Election Day: 53
  
  Religion: Presbyterian 
  
  Base: Libertarians 
  
  Résumé: US senator. Board-certified ophthalmologist.
  Former congressional campaign manager for his father Ron Paul.
  
  
  Education: Baylor University (did not finish).
  M.D. Duke University School of Medicine.
  
  Family: Married to Kelley Ashby (1990), with three sons.
  
  His father is a former Texas congressman who ran for president three times but never got close to grabbing the brass
  ring.
  
  Claim to fame: Paul embraces positions that
  are at odds with most in the GOP, including an anti-interventionist foreign policy,
  reduced military spending, criminal drug sentencing reform for African-Americans and strict limits on government electronic surveillance
  - including a clampdown on the National Security
  Agency.
  
  Achilles heel: Paul's politics are aligned with those of
  his father, whom mainstream GOPers saw as kooky. Both Pauls have advocated for a brand of libertarianism that forces government to stop
  domestic surveillance programs and limits foreign military
  interventions.

  Résumé: Former US senator and former member of the House of Representatives from Pennsylvania.
  Former lobbyist who represented World Wrestling
  Entertainment.
  
  Education: B.A. Penn State University. M.B.A. University of Pittsburgh.
  J.D. Penn State University Dickinson School of Law.
  
  
  Family: Married to Karen Santorum (1990), with seven living children. One baby was stillborn in 1996.
  Another, named Isabella, is a special needs child
  with a genetic disorder.
  
  Claim to fame: Santorum won the 2012 Republican Iowa Caucuses by a
  nose. He won by visiting all of Iowa's 99 states in a pickup truck
  belonging to his state campaign director, a consultant who now worls for Donald Trump.
  
  
  
  Achilles heel: As a young lobbyist, Santorum persuaded the federal government to exempt pro wrestling from
  regulations governing the use of anabolic steroids. And the stridently conservative politician has attracted strong
  opposition from gay rights groups. One gay columnist held
  a contest to redefine his name, buying the 'santorum.com' domain to advertise
  the winning entry - which is too vulgar to print.

  Lincoln Chafee  Former Rhode Island governor
  
  Age on Election Day: 63
  
  Religion:  Episcopalian                              
      Base: Centrists
  
  Résumé: Former Rhode Island governor. Former U.S. senator.
  Former city councilman and mayor of Warwick, RI.
  
  
  Education: B.A. Brown University. Graduate, Montana State University horseshoeing school.
  
  
  Family: Married to Stephanie Chafee (1990) with three children.
  Like him, his father John Chafee was a Rhode Island governor and US senator, but also served
  as Secretary of the Navy. Lincoln was appointed to his Senate seat when his father died in office.
  
  
  
  Claim to fame: While Chafee was a Republican senator during the George W.
  
  Bush administration, he cast his party's only vote in 2002 against a resolution that authorized military action in Iraq.
  
  Hillary Clinton, also a senator then, voted in favor - giving him
  a point of comparison that he hopes to ride to victory.
  
  
  
  Achilles heel: Chafee's lack of any significant party loyalty has turned allies into foes throughout his political career,
  and Democrats aren't sure he's entirely with them now.
  
  He was elected to the Senate as a Republican in 2000 but left the party and declared himself a
  political independent after losing a re-election bid in 2006.
  
  As an independent, he was elected governor in 2010.
  
  Now he's running for president as a Democrat.
  
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Martin O'Malley    Former Maryland governor
  
  Age on Election Day: 53
  
  Religion: Catholic
  
  Base: Centrists 
  
  Résumé:Former Maryland governor. Former city councilor and mayor of Baltimore,
  MD. Former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.
  
  
  Education: B.A. Catholic University of America.
  
  J.D. University of Maryland.
  
  Family: Married to Katie Curran (1990) and they have four children. Curran is a district court judge
  in Baltimore. Her father is Maryland's attorney general. O'Malley's mother
  is a receptionists in the Capitol Hill office of Democratic Sen. Barbara Mikulski.
  
  
  Claim to fame: O'Malley pushed for laws in Maryland legalizing same-sex marriage and giving illegal immigrants the right to pay reduced tuition rates
  at public universities. But he's best known for playing guitar and sung in a celtic
  band cammed 'O'Malley's March.'
  
  Achilles heel: O'Malley may struggle in the Democratic primary since he endorsed Hillary Clinton eight years ago.
  
  If he prevails, he will have to run far enough to her
  left to be an easy target for the GOP. He showed political weakness when his hand-picked successor
  lost the 2014 governor's race to a Republican. But most troubling is his link
  with Baltimore, whose 2016 race riots have made it a nuclear subject for politicians
  of all stripes.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Jim Webb      Former Virginia senator
  
  Age on Election Day: 70
  
  Religion: Christian (nondenominational)                             Base:
   War hawks and economic centrists
  
  Résumé:Former U.S. senator from Virginia. Former U.S.
  Secretary of the Navy under Ronamd Reagan. Former Assistant Secretary of Defense for
  Reserve Affairs.
  
  Education: B.A. US Naval Academy (transferred from the University of Southern California).
  
  J.D. Georgetown University.
  
  Family: Married to Hong Le Webb (2005). Divorced
  from Jo Ann Krukar (1981-2004). Divorced from Barbara Samorajczyk (1968-1979). 
  
  Claim to fame: Webb is the rare Democrat who can bring
  both robust defense credentials and a history of genuine bipartisanship to the
  race. He served in Republican president Ronald Reagan's defense directorate as Navy secretary, and earned
  both the Navy Star and the Purple Heart in combat.
  Webb is also seen as a quiet scholar who has written more than a half-dozen historical novels and a critically acclaimed history of Scots-Irish U.S.
  immigrants.
  
  Achilles heel: Webb has a reputation as a bit of a quitter.
  He resigned his Navy secretary post over a budget-cut dispute just 10 months after taking the job,
  and he declined to run for re-election to the U.S. Senate in 2006.
  
  He also attracted bad press for defending the use of the Confederate flag as a heritage symbol for American southerners.
  Amid a nationwide clamor to remove the flag from the South Carolina
  statehouse grounds, he wrote that Americans should 'respect the complicated history of the Civil War.
  ... Honorable Americans fought on both sides.'
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Hillary Clinton Former sec. of state
  
  Age on Election Day: 69
  
  Religion: United Methodist 
  
  Base: Liberals 
  
  Résumé:Former secretary of state. Former U.S.
  senator from New York. Former U.S. first lady. Former Arkansas first lady.
  Former law school faculty, University of Arkansas Fayetteville.
  
  
  Education: B.A. Wellesley College. J.D. Yale Law School.
  
  
  Family: Married to Bill Clinton (1975), the 42nd President of the
  United States. Their daughter Chelsea is married to investment banker Marc Mezvinsky, whose mother was a 1990s one-term Pennsylvania congresswoman.
  
  Claim to fame: Clinton was the first US first lady with a
  postgraduate degree and presaged Obamacare
  with a failed attempt at health care reform in the 1990s.
  
  
  Achilles heel: A long series of financial and ethical scandals has dogged Clinton,
  including recent allegations that her husband
  and their family foundation benefited financially from decisions she made
  as secretary of state. Her performance surrounding
  the 2012 terror attack on a State Department facility in Benghazi, Libya,
  has been catnip for conservative Republicans. And her presidential campaign has been marked
  by an unwillingness to engage journalists, instead meeting with hand-picked groups of voters.
  
  
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Bernie Sanders*  Vermont senator
  
  Age on Election Day: 75
  
  Religion: Jewish
  
  Base: Far-left progressives
  
  Résumé:U.S. senator. Former U.S. congressman. Former mayor of Burlington, VT.
  
  
  
  Education: B.A. University of Chicago.
  
  Family: Married to Jane O'Meara Sanders (1988), a former president of
  Burlington College. He has one child from a previous relationship and is
  stepfather to three from Mrs. Sanders' previous marriage.
  His brother Larry is a Green Party politician in the UK and formerly
  served on the Oxfordshire County Council.
  
  Claim to fame: Sanders is an unusually blunt,
  and unapologetic pol, happily promoting progressivism without hedging.
  
  He is also the longest-serving 'independent' member of Congress
  - neither Democrat nor Republican.
  
  Achilles heel: Sanders describes himself as a 'democratic socialist.' At a time of huge GOP electoral gains, his far-left ideas don't poll well.
  
  He favors open borders, single-payer universal health insurance,
  and greater government control over media ownership.
  
  
  * Sanders is running as a Democrat but has no party
  affiliation in the Senate.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  DEMOCRATS IN THE HUNT 
  
  Joe Biden, U.S. vice president
  
  Biden would be a natural candidate as the White House's sitting second-banana, but his reputation as a one-man gaffe factory could keep Democrats from taking him seriously.
  
  
  Elizabeth Warren, Massachusetts senator
  
  Warren is a populist liberal who could give Hillary Clinton headaches by challenging her from the left,
  but she has said she has no plans to run and is happy in the U.S.
  Senate.
