In an election season that has confounded party leaders and experts, the rise of Mr. Carson is another unexpected twist. His supporters cite Mr. Carson’s character, not his positions, as the main reason they back him. And they say his low-key approach is precisely what would tame Washington’s bitter partisanship, rather than Mr. Trump’s swagger.

“He is kind when he speaks, and he doesn’t have an agenda to set himself up as wonderful,” said Donna Christiansen, a retiree in Ames.

I’ve seen his positions and he is not one for whom I am ever going to vote, period.

A barely audible, kindly, milquetoast candidate. Yeah, that’s what we need.

[“He is kind when he speaks, and he doesn’t have an agenda to set himself up as wonderful,”]

Exactly what are CARSON’S views on abortion and the Abortion Pill? Everything changed AFTER his record and writings were scrutinized. Unlike Trump, there is no explanation for the change. As a physician, it is unbelievable he could not make up his mind when life began in a baby.

What is more worrisome is his attitude towards Black Lives Matter and his top aide’s close ties to Farrakhan.

He’s for amnesty, death panels for the elderly. I wonder what his views are on global warming?

Carson would get rolled in a heartbeat by the Washington establishment.

I swear we on the right are our own worse enemy. We really do know how to screw ourselves with weak candidates, and thinking that somehow this cornball nonsense is going to win an election against socialists and people peddling identity politics.

The NYTimes has figured it out, and they will start writing puff pieces in Carson in order to help the idiots on our side right along the road to defeat.
