Ben Carson is not going to win the nomination, even though he is doing well in polls, Pataki has as good a shot as Carson. Who ever gets the majority of Carson's votes will have a big advantage going forward. I suspect he will slowly lose support come the holidays.

Sorry but I can't put Kasich in this poll. His numbers are so bad this week, he's the new Scott Walker. If I put Kasich in the poll, I may as well put in Pataki, neither of them will get many of Carson's votes, let alone the majority.

If you can state why you answered the way you did, that would be great.

Why no Raffy Cruz? He will get most of the votes, with Mr. Trump getting some. Dr. Carson attracts people who want an outsider on the far right, and ditto for Raffy. People who support Mr. Trump already do.

Will Cruz last longer than Carson?

If you don't have the other names on there, the poll becomes bogus as we can't truly choose.

It won't be to Trump. Whereas Trump is loud and flamboyant, Carson is quiet and humble. The two have totally different outlooks on life and how to accomplish things, so I can't imagine their supporters would mix well.

Do you assume those 3 will be standing if Carson goes down? Do you think Bush will stay in the race if he doesn't win any of the first 4 states regardless of how much money he has? I think Carson has a better shot of winning one of the first 4 states than Bush...as long as Iowa counts correctly this time.

I agree. Bush could stay in the race for fun, kind of like Ron Paul did, but it's obvious that Bush isn't having fun in this campaign.

It might be Trump.
Donald said he'd put Carson in his cabinet.
Maybe Secretary of Health & Human Services.
