I wonder if Carson’s polling will drop after he came out with his immigration reform plan. Amnesty?
I also wonder if after the “debate” on Wednesday, the MSM & the GOPe will start cooking the polls to make Jeb and or Christy look better.
I think this is the way to get to Trump by stuffing the Carson campaign poll numbers...
They did it with Jebby, only problem was, Jebby isn’t solid enough to take the heat...
Carson isn’t either, and when the GOPee get thru with Carson, they’ll start on someone else...they will keep trying, because they think this election is in their hands, what they don’t understand or don’t want to understand is it is OUR campaign and they have nothing to do with it...or they don’t want to realize and admit that the VOTERS this time are running this show....
The pundits are ready to gush about Carson’s debate performance. Right now, they see a “protest/anti-Establishment” lane in the primaries, and hoping that their bought and paid for property, Dr. Ben Carson, can somehow beat out Trump with that positioning.
My personal feelings are that Carson is a bit of a cypher right now. People ascribe to him what they want an outsider politician to be. They see in him whatever it is they define as the “perfect” candidate.
We’ve seen this in the past with other candidates who have come out of nowhere to challenge the front runners. Last cycle we had Perry, Cain, and Santorum. In 2008, Mike Huckabee was a similar candidate.
If that is true, then he will probably alienate 1/3 of his support no matter what position he takes on any issue. The deflation of his numbers will start when he starts to get enough press coverage to define where he stands to a large audience.
Carson got a bounce from the first debate (understandable) and then got another 6-7% a couple of weeks later for no reason at all. They’re already cooking the polls.
