It’s a near certainty in politics: if you want to run for president, you write a book.

(What’s less certain is whether anyone actually reads these things.)

So lo and behold, a number of potential 2016 presidential candidates are getting ready to release a book in the coming year. Here’s your guide to the upcoming avalanche of political books from presidential wannabes.

Rubio book

Marco Rubio

The Florida Republican will be out with a 240-page book on Jan. 15 titled, “American Dreams: Restoring Economic Opportunity for Everyone.”

“I wrote this book because we stand at a critical juncture,” Rubio wrote in a letter to supporters. “What kind of country are we going to be? Will we surrender to Obamacare and other laws that crush innovation and entrepreneurship? Will we accept a powerful nanny state and the erosion of family values? Will we allow politics to kill the American Dream? Or will we rise to the challenge—and take back our legacy as the only nation on earth that offers unrestricted opportunity to all?”

The book has no title yet, but Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has a 256-pager coming out on May 12. Amazon doesn’t offer much more details than that.

The Republican is said to have earned a $1.5 million advance for the book.

Huckabee bookMike Huckabee

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has a 272-page book coming out on Jan. 20 called “God, Guns, Grits, and Gravy.”

Amazon describes it this way: “At times lighthearted, at others bracingly realistic, Huckabee’s brand of optimistic patriotism highlights American ideals, offering a bright outlook for future generations.”

Sen. Rand Paul speaks during the inaugural Freedom Summit meeting in Manchester, New Hampshire

Rand Paul

The libertarian-Republican senator from Kentucky has a book coming out June 2 titled “Taking a Stand: Moving Beyond Partisan Politics to Unite America.”

The Amazon book description: “In his four years since joining the Senate, Rand Paul has risen to the forefront of the national discussion. Now considered a major presidential contender, he’s being called the most interesting Republican because he doesn’t strictly follow the establishment. When he believes in an issue he reaches across the aisle to collaborate with his colleagues.”

Carly Fiorina

Carly Fiorina attends the Conservative Political Action Conference in Oxon HillIn May, the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard is coming out with a 288-page book called “Rising to the Challenge.”

It’s described on Amazon as “an important blueprint for conservatives as we approach the critical elections of 2016.”

Since the last presidential election, a number of other potential Republican candidates have released books, including Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, Paul Ryan, Rick Santorum and Ben Carson.

On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, and Jim Webb have all recently penned books.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
