Donald Trump was steady at the top.  The payout remained at 2.7X and his probability improved slightly from 23.5% to 23.7%.  Prior to this week he had been drifting a little bit lower each week, having peaked in the middle of January at 26.9% probability and a 2.4X payout.

Paul Ryan took a hit this week as he was out promoting the healthcare bill.  His payout spiked from 26.2X to 28.5X and he dropped from 8th place to 10th place.

Joseph Kennedy made a strong debut at 23rd place with a 55 to 1 payout.  The Democratic Congressman raised his profile with the healthcare debate.
