Real estate magnate Trump has spent weeks dominating the Republican field, and has emerged as a credible White House candidate for many voters in Iowa, the first crucible of the 2016 nominating contest.
But with Carson’s stellar showing in a series of recent polls in Iowa and nationwide, and another survey showing Senator Bernie Sanders nipping at Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton’s heels, the second-place candidates are exhibiting considerable power on the campaign trail.

If Carson and Cruz love America as much as they say , theye oughta pull out now and throw their collective support to Trump . Cruz for VP and Carson for Surgeon General .
LOL!
Like him but, nope...
Carson is a tough guy. When an interviewer asks a question he does not like he gives an intimidating steely eyed look. He does not suffer fools gladly.
However, he could not rally the nation and use the bully pulpit the way Trump can.
I’m a big fan of Cruz, but I don’t think he can do it either.
Media now all behind Carson in order to take down Trump. Sorry. Carson is a one state pony. Iowa evangelicals.
I’d like the nominee to have been a boss at least once in his adult life
Pull out with over a year to go until the caccus? I don’t thin that would be a good idea at this point.
Cruz will be the one who “stops” him. But I put it in quotes for a reason.
Unite now and kick the GOPe and Rats bigtime in the arse !
Nice, smooth talking guy.
Stick to what you know best Mr. Carson...doctoring. Plenty of hospitals could benefit from your expertise. Time to give back.
Iowa Caucus is in Feb 2016, not to be confused with the general election.
The #uniparty is terrified of Trump. More importantly, they are terrified of where he is taking the discourse.
“Business Insider” = crony.
Says it all.
Problem is Ben Carson is too nice of a guy to do what needs to be done in Washington. To stand up to the pressure that will be on him. At least that’s my take on it.
From your lips to God's ears. They are all in full attack mode now, over, under, around and through to stop Trump. Carson's a back door tactic but if they can use him to stop Trump, we're gone, back to Bush or Romney or Hillary or whoever..
First time I see his photo. Thank you for posting it.
Never heard of this guy. What has he accomplished that he should be my President? How will he stand up to putin?
It’s early, very, very early. Let’s let the process play out first the establishment hates Trump and he tears them apart, which is awesome. But there are other candidates too such as, Cruz who are hated by the establishment fight back and are true conservatives.
That’s what I meant, but thanks for the clarification.
