The big reason Carson is doing well is that he’s acting like Trump in not backing down. When he goes squish, his numbers will drop.
Carson cannot win the general election. At the end of that process the last 20% of the voters begin paying attention. That group more than the rest votes for superficial reasons. Obama capitalized on this like no other politician. Trump moves the needle, so he would likewise take a hefty chunk of the low information vote.
He jumped after the second debate and I still dont know why. He was amiable enough, but how does that transfer into votes.
This no muslim for president thing is a winner for him.
But he got the courage/advice to say it because of Trump’s bluntness.
His answer on Afghanistan, during the debate, WAS squishy. Why aren’t people discussing that?
NBC/Wall Street Journal poll, nuff sed!
