The coming narrative

The pundits love them a horse race and a glimmering of what they are touting is coming into focus.  With Hillary's strong performance in the Democrats debate, and the new polls showing The Donald pulling away from the Republican establishment candidates, the emerging consensus is for these two to be the candidates of their respective parties.  Of course if Clinton falters when confronting the Benghazi committee or if Trump does something screamingly stupid things will change.   However, this would appear to be the preference of those who treat out quadrennial attempts at governance as a high school popularity contest.
