Who wudda thought this even just a few months ago ? As of 9/18:

HERE Top 3 are:

Trump
Bush
Carson

A couple of big caveats: this is Morning Consult's first campaign season and it isn't yet a proven pollster, and the people who watched the Republican debates may not represent the party's primary electorate as a whole. But when you consider that this is a poll of Republicans (and independents who plan to vote in Republican primaries) who are engaged enough to watch an early debate — who one would think are the most engaged voters out there — it gets even more worrisome for the establishment.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. It is very likely that the Donald and his non-politician coterie are the darlings of the early goings, it is as likely because even the pols have nothing to really inspire anyone.

And to think...Geo. Will said the is the deepest (most skilled) field since 80. If it is, then the repubs are most certainly in big trouble.

Mr Rodgers.....there were an awful lot of dems watching the debate. The fallout from it is huge.
More people should watch them. While trump has his coterie, they are all stoking anger. If this gets more dems out to vote...ill be happy.

If that is their 'dream team' for the ticket, then the Democrats will score another first for the nation's history: Hillary Clinton, first woman as a US President.....

Even Mr. Sanders would beat down all three. Unlike those three and their babble, Mr. Sanders has substance backing up his viewpoints.

Well objectively speaking, I feel W in 2000 was a mistake for the repubs, the rest were incumbents since 80.

Well I just don't see the policy intellect. One does not need to be a so-called policy wonk. But the others rely far too much upon sound bites, cliche' and ad hominum attacks. Meaning this field is not that skilled and therefore...not that deep.

Bush is the real adult in the room and just comes off as far too disappointing. (as I've written, the Al Gore of the repubs) Now again, it is early, too early in my mind. Hopefully at least for him, as time marches on, the field will winnow out the marginal and then when say they are down to 1-2 come spring next year...then we'll hopefully see a more obstreperous Bush. Summer there needs be only one.

This is my opinion and only because Kasich has no chance and mainly because he will get no establishment (banker) money. Of ALL the candidates on both sides, he's the only one I would vote for. The rest...I'd vote against.

Then again, I don't think any pres. will have the real power to make that much difference in anything of real import.
