Someone please sit me down and explain to me the whole Ben Carson thing.
*****************************************************************************************************
Notice that ALL the GOPe favored candidates have sunk below 3rd place and that the top three are non-establishment types. That explains it IMHO.
Screw the GOPe and the ruling elite.
He is likable and he's black, but speaks like a white person.
He is an outsider. Similar to Trump in a way but Carson has no experience with buying politicians.
Or you could go with, “He is an African American who is articulate, bright and clean...”
Ben Carson and Ted Cruz are the two most intelligent candidates running. They both have tremendous faith in God. Ben Carson has the advantage of not being a part of the political crowd. Right now people are sick to death of politicians and the elites that pull their strings.
I don’t believe Cruz is one of the elites or a politician with strings attached, but some people may feel more comfortable with someone with no ties at all to the establishment.
Trump, Carson, Cruz and Fiorina. I’m thinking two of those four will make up the GOP 2016 Ticket. If Trump is the nominee, it will be Cruz. Here’s why I think so. Cruz knows politics and Washington; one of the two needs to know how to get around all the sewer in that town. If it’s Cruz, I’m going to say it will be Carson..... possibly Donald.
Ben Carson: It’s simple. He’s not a Washington insider and he has a common sense, Conservative approach, and solutions, to the problems we face. He can be tough as nails, but come across intelligent, gentle, witty and classy. He’s damn impressive.
It speaks volumes that Cruz was able to move into the 3 spot after FOX froze him out for 40 minutes! It’s a long term chess match, I’m happy Cruz isn’t in the lead yet because it looks like he’s starting to peak at the right time.
9 percent for Jebbie is getting into nomination waters.
Bill Cunningham was trying to argue on his radio show Sunday that no “summer frontrunner” in the primary who was polling at Trump’s level or lower in the last 35 years ever went on to win the nomination.
I think Cunningham said his preferred candidates were Rubio, Walker, Fiorina and Kasich. He also said abortion is a “non-issue” to him. He said Trump would be great on the economy and he would gladly vote for him over the Democrats if he won the primary.
I call it the Joe Biden effect - he's Black, clean literate and speaks without resorting to Ebonics....
I like Dr, Carson but sincerely hope he isn't our choice - he'd do even worse than Romney in the general.
FNC CNN and MSNBC were on a jbush rehab mission this morning. It was amazing how they seemed to coordinate trying to make jbush (zzzzzzzzz) look “presidential”.
His unaltered press conference spoke for itself.
The room must have been empty but for reporters and staffers pressed into background “crowd”
