I love Ben, but wonder if he could destroy Hillary like Trump or Cruz would.

Nominee needs to be able to neutralize her or he won’t even get in office........

No, he wouldn't. Can't imagine him actually accomplishing anything---not that he wouldn't try. I just don't see his personality and approach as being sufficient to appeal over the heads of the establishment to the American people for change.

Good news for Trump: he doesn't need IA, and can still wrap up by Super Tuesday without IA.

Carson is a great candidate if you oppose the 2nd amendment and support amnesty for illegals.

The man’s got no bombast in him.

Will this excite people other than the base? I don’t think so.

I was joking with a friend who had insomnia the other day. I said, you should vote for Ben Carson.

President Carson’s State of the Union speech will cure you :)

It should be as simple as “if you criticize Carson, you’re a racist”...

‘cuz that’s how it was with Obama.

If it is true he said he wants to end Medicare, then he will destroy himself.

I’m sorry. Ben is a nice guy. He’s really not all that unique as a doctor who is devout Christian and conservative. There are many many Ben Carson’s out there, but there is no one out there like Trump.

I think the people of Iowa are fuzzy headed when it comes to elections.

The more you listen to Ben Carson the more the guy sounds like a weak kneed nice guy. He reminds me a lot Bill Russell whom I met many years ago. He came to our college to speak. I went to shake his hand. It was warm and limp, and I think he even put his left hand over his right hand for good measure.

Ben should be a preacher, not our president. Sorry, but that’s how I feel.

Why do you “love” someone who is not qualified to be President? Just because he has a well polished bed-side manner?
We need a fighter who can save this country and that means Donald Trump!!!!

I wouldn’t worry needlessly over 2 polls. One by the Des Moines’ Register which Trump refuses to let into his rallies.

Iowa has always been an outlier primary (caucus). I’ll have to see it to believe it but even if Trump did lose Iowa he is leading in every national and almost every state poll. Carson trailing way behind.

Ben Carson is a as far as I can tell a good and decent man who is in no way, shape or form prepared to be President of the United States. It appears the GOPe have glommed onto Carson as their latest desperate ploy to bring down Trump.

We still have over 3 months til the Iowa Caucus and Trump has supposedly the strongest ground team of any campaign working to win.
