How about: we appreciate his character, values, and leadership ability? And maybe we’re living MLK’s dream.
I think that’s part of it, but it’s also the evangelicals. Same people who love Huckabee, even though he’s a crypto-lib.

I think there is a lot of Bradley effect going on. Carson is just such a poor candidate on the issues.
If Carson were white, there’s no way anyone would be taking him seriously
White guilt exist on the Republican side as well esp the rich/elites/establishment
“Coach is wrong.”
Oh FFS.
1) There were a lot of clowns who said this about Obama. Guess who won the last two elections?
2) Carson is obviously a brilliant guy, very devout in his Christian faith, soft-spoken yet very clear, and appreciates his country.
3) Only FReepers seem to know much about his past opinions and how it doesn’t square with what he appears to be espousing on the campaign trail. Frankly, the same can be said of Trump, so Trump supporters don’t have a leg to stand on there, and they know it.
I have no intention of voting for Carson, but we could do a hell of a lot worse (see current WH occupant). To make this a purely racial thing is absurd and a waste of energy and brain cells.
Trump supporters hang up on pollsters, and some of Cruz’s do too.
No, I don’t think it has anything to do with ‘white guilt.’ There just appears to be, out of the huge well of anti-establishment sentiment, a lot of people who find Trump a bit too abrasive for their tastes. In addition to perhaps being questionable on values/social issues.
I’m rather glad to see Carson the beneficiary of this, as opposed to Huckabee. Cruz might have been (and probably should have been), but I’m guessing he stubbed his toe at the starting gate on a few issues like expanding H-1B, the Corker bill, and Obamatrade, deflating some enthusiasm for him at a crucial moment.
Another infantile personal attack posting.
Here a notion, make a case FOR your candidate rather the posting these childish personal attacks.
I think a lot of it is also the “NPR effect”. They associate anyone who talks in a low, thoughtful manner as smart. Therefore they think by association, they look smarter.
It real simple.
GOP voters hate the DC Establishment. They have been continually betrayed by their Party Leaders. So they are looking for someone to go clean out the DC stables. These same people are not comfortable with Trumps bombast and loose cannon behavior. Carson is anti Establishment without all of Trumps baggage.
Trump gets away from this loose cannon ways and hammers his economic message harder and harder, and he can win over those Carson voters to him.
What he cannot do is talk about Bush and 09-11 like a Democrat and expect the same people who elected Bush 2xs to look with favor on his candidacy
I like him. He’s not my first choice, but I like him.
Race card much?
The second networks called it for Obama in 2012
Many posters here were clamouring for a black or Latino candidate in order to win in 2016 or else
This utter self hatred and guilt of the white race establishment and progressives worldwide is the primary reason the civilized world is in decline in such quick fashion and it will take all of the world including Asia down with it
These are the exact same people who refuse to defend against America becoming a non white nation
As is often the case with entries from this blog that get posted here all the time, Coach is not right.
I am not a Carson supporter, but the man is brilliant and it’s pretty obvious he is picking up the evangelical vote that Huckabee would have gotten along with a lot of “we want an outsider but not Trump” support.
It appears whoever wrote this simply can’t conceive of the idea that a lot of right of center voters don’t really care for Trump and would rather not vote for him in the primaries.
Here is a “winning” political tactics. Insult people into voting for your candidate.
If you want to take down Carson, you people should get on his side. Your posting tactics are the best one possible to guarantee a “lose” in Politics
