Carson is definitely a "Trump Parking Lot" for many voters.

Hear me out on this. Donald Trump is still polarizing. If you are at a family function or with co-workers, stating you are for Donald Trump is likely to get you shouted down by any liberals that are around. Most people want to avoid getting into a political argument in these situations. Stating support for Carson or Fiorina is the safer way to go and you still get to go on record as supporting a non politician.

Best of both worlds. No liberal or pollster is going to challenge you or shout you down for supporting a black man or a woman for president AND you get to state that you are fed up with establishment politicians which will even get the liberals to nod their heads in agreement.

In the privacy of the voting booth, look for many of those Carson and Fiorina supporters to pull the lever for Trump instead.

My unofficial formula in interpreting polls is to tally up the percentages for Trump, Carson and Fiorina and subtract 10 (as I believe both Carson and Fiorina's true support is around 5%). The remaining total is the true percentage for Trump.

Agree with your words. If you say you are a Trumpeter, people look at you like you have a second nose.

No liberal ... is going to challenge you or shout you down for supporting a black man or a woman for president.

You sure about that?...................

Probably. Still, given he has no real policies save “he’s religious” and “he’s nice” and “he stands up to Muslims,” it’s pretty amazing that his support has been so steady.

I took a Rasmussen phone poll last week and the only candidate mentioned was Trump,the question was how likely was it that I would vote for him.

I responded that I would absolutely vote for him. The poll results should be interesting.

There are some union people in my family. I’ve gotten to the point I don’t even talk politics with them. This time they’re talking Trump. LOL

They hate everything he stands for, and yet they know he’s right.

Okay. So what’s wrong with the privacy of a poll as you aren’t in a group
that’s watching or hearing what you say.

Carson has no money and no big donor support other than as a pac funded spoiler for other candidates.

Carson is a sacrificial anode.

His simulated epiphany on the second amend is as real as Hillary.

Very OT but my brother-in-law is now a big Sam Adams beer fan thanx to me. My wife always tells me to get Heineken for him when he visits but one time I got Sam Adams instead. She got real mad at me but my argument was that maybe he would appreciate a break from the same beer all the time. Well, he tried Sam Adams and now that is almost all he drinks.

I might surprise him this Thanksgiving with Sam Adams Pumpkin beer.
