There’s many a slip twixt the cup and the lip.

Carson isn’t anywhere yet.

The polls are a farce.

Actually, I don’t believe he is IN second place. Guess we all read it on the internet that Carson is leading. I’m not buying that at all.

Agree.

Carson is a paper tiger. The RINOs have realized that Jeb isn’t going to cut it. So they’ve moved to Rubio. They are pumping up Carson because they know his support is going to tank.

New poll out today shows Trump at 31% and Carson at 15%. That’s closer to the truth. Carson will be below 10% in sixty days.

Ben Carson is NOT going to be our next President. Not. Going. To. Happen.

He will simply hold a rally where 300x the number of poll participants show up and cheer like mad.

Of course National Review and RCP conveniently omit the dozens upon dozens of polls still showing Trump in the lead. I noticed that RCP did not include the Reuters/Ipsos poll from yesterday showing Trump up by 12 and never include the Gravis, Morning Consult or Reuters daily tracking that have Trump up by similar 10-12 point margins. Let NRO and the RINOs have their laughs because it’s not real and neither is Gentle Ben. Trump will be the nominee and the next President.

How many people show up at the average Carson rally? Haven’t heard much.

Meanwhile, Trump fills stadiums.

Yep. Only the polls that showed Trump leading are real. All the ones showing him in 2nd are a “farce”.

I don’t buy it, either.

What’s up with National Review?

They’ve hit the skids since the sainted W. F. Buckley passed.

I’m not sure he even has actual rallies. I believe he has been out promoting his book and doing signing events.

I’m soooo confused. I thought the latest polls showed Carson down and Trump with double digit leads? I’m also very confused about the National Review. That is the site that calls Trump a witless Ape and buffoon ? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3356281/posts
So, is National Review for GOPe? I guess I don’t know my conservative from my liberal (or rino) websites anymore.

RE: Meanwhile, Trump fills stadiums.

I am not going to be fooled by that again.

Remember the Colorado Red Rocks rally of Mitt Romney where the entire place could not accommodate everyone who wanted to attend, and people at to park their cars far away and walk for miles just to reach the venue?

It was taken as a sign that Colorado was going Romney and Obama’s chances in that state was doomed.

RESULT: Colorado went Democrat in 2012.
