This is the most interesting group of GOP candidates I've ever seen in one election. I see Carly poaching political neutral women from the Democrats, Ben Carson poaching common sense minorities and Trump the large percentage of men. If it's orchestrated its brilliant. No matter who wins the nomination, many of these poached voters will vote republican.
Do you really believe that? Carly got beat badly in her California senate race losing by nearly 10 points, and she should have been in a good position to beat Boxer. And I'm not sure what you mean by "common sense minorities" but I'm guessing you mean conservative minorities of which there are actually very few.
16 candidates and there are maybe one quarter of them even remotely qualified to be President of the United States. And all of those are near the bottom of the heap in party popularity. Pubs got problems.

Are you referring to washed up people like Graham, Huckabee, Pataki, Santorum, etc.?

No, people like Kasich. He's way too socially conservative for me, but at least I wouldn't have to worry that he would take us into war on a whim or based on some religious ideology or myopic world view. With all of the top GOP contenders that's a real worry.

That is all happening in your imagination. In reality, few Democrats (men or women) found these clowns to be anything but inexperienced and egotistical; mostly running for the attention it gets them.
Aside from Carson, I doubt Trump or Carly actually want to be President. They struck me more as a Palin-nesque opportunist looking to cash in. Even if by the greatest of miracle one of them managed to get elected, he/she will quit the office after two months to go write a book or start a reality TV show.
Trust me, the only thing that is fascinating to the Democrats is the sheer stupidity from the GOP base that is being suckered by Trump and Carly; and honestly believe those two have a chance.

The clown car comments must really hurt, I guess. None of these GOP bozos can be taken at all seriously. Their rebranding "listening tour" in 2009 revealed that they had an obsession with Ronald Reagan and no actual policies relevant to the 21st century. Nothing has changed since. Phony solutions to phony issues and nothing of any help at all with our actual problems. The GOP is the Party of Ignorance and Uselessness.
Rarely are so many words used to say basically nothing.
Obama was a community organizer for about three years. Then he worked as a lawyer, was a professor of law for 12 years, was a state senator for seven years and a US senator for two. But you keep on with the community organizer meme, as it will prevent you from having to admit that he had done so much more than that before running for president. I get that you are unable to handle that fact.
Being a sleazy, thieving left-wing lawyer, politician and law professor is even worse than being a community organizer.
America voted for sleaze when it elected The One.
The One was not only all of the above, but a friend to terrorists Dohrn and Ayers, to a preacher who damned America, and a racist who repeatedly condemned whites in racial disputes before knowing all the facts.
Now he's the biggest supporter of Muslim terrorism around.
We need someone who can put reason and rationality above poll numbers, and someone to listen to advisers who know more than them. We need someone who understands how the world works, how to collaborate, compromise and influence. We need these things far more than just a successful surgeon, real estate billionaire or someone who screwed HP.
We supposedly got all of that with the Wonder Boy.
The voters will decide how it all worked out.
