I didn’t know Ben Carson until the, uh, “debate’.
Dr. Carson was very impressive.

Those were my thoughts exactly. Even the GWB part.

I liked his answers. He seems like a very intelligent, thoughtful man who would want to sit down with advisors, analyze a problem and create a solution.

Sadly, I fear DC is so corrupt and dysfunctional that isn’t possible any longer...if it ever was. I fear DC would eat Dr. Carson alive.

Carson bad on the first two questions. Then he was frozen out for almost 30 minutes, then was stellar in his last three question. I think it is widely agreed that Rubio did well. But Rubio getting hammered in post debate "gotchas" over abortion comments.

Trump is always hard to gage because you cannot measure him in traditional ways. Everything that others say "cause him to stumble" usually makes him stronger.

I don't see how Carson's five minutes could push him that far so it's likely these are more Trump voters who temporarily abandoned The Donald. Happy to see Bush only at 10.
