This morning on Morning Joe,(they are political animals over there) had a poll up that answers your question.

Ben Carson beats Hillary the best, by about 10 points, and Trump beats her by six, Jeb Bush even beat her by a couple of points.

They all beat her.

Ben Carson would totally wreck the Democratic Party. They are already wrecked at the state and local levels. They continue to lose seats in state houses. 2014 was an epic beat down except in the US Senate. They lost it, but they still have a strong minority count.

Carson at the top of the GOP ticket would prove fatal to the Dems, at all levels.

Think for a moment what states would be in play for the GOP that almost never are, if the GOP ran a candidate who could keep most social and economic conservatives in the fold, but peal a mere 20% of African American voters from the Dems? And Carson could pull 30% without hardly trying. I would not be surprised, if Carson gets the nomination, that he might pull closer to 40%. Crazy, I know, but possible when you look at who will most line up with in values with the religious African Americans, but who can in no possible way be confused with a rich white, racist guy. Further, do you think Carson versus Hillary would even be a contest? She might lose 48 states to him.
