Mr. Jim Geraghty’s, Mr. Male Hormone, gleeful take. I could have guessed.
Yes, true. Four million conservatives stayed home - presumably not satisfied by the choice.
There wasn’t much of a choice, full blown commie or socialism light.
I’m beginning to think Carson is another Colin Powell
I can’t even find a Ben Carson rally on youtube that’s not less than 3 weeks old. I don’t know how the numbers keep shooting up for him when he seems to be off the radar. Maybe his comment about stabbing someone when he was 14 really got people excited?
Here is Trump did to Anderson Cooper when Cooper tried to pull a false poll on Trump.
“I am leading across the board,” Trump said in the interview. “And then you hit me with this poll that I didn’t see before, where oh, gee, it’s not even that kind of a poll. All i know is I have a very big group of support. And I think one of the reasons.”
“Let me tell you. The people don’t trust you and the people don’t trust the media. And I understand why,” Trump lectured Cooper.
“60%-70% of the media is really dishonest.”

2 minutes where Trump trashes Cooper and the media
If you are talking nationwide, all levels of media, Trump is accurate here. If he is talking about the national level of political media, then he is underestimating things by at least 15%.
His poll numbers have. His statements, speeches, policy positions have not.
Okay everybody .. look at that number .. 4 MILLION ..
Now, can you guess why the DemocRATS want 5 MILLION immigrants to be given the right to vote ..?????????????
ANYBODY ..???????????
Immigration is about V O T E S ... all for DemocRATS.
Yes, quite amusing indeed. It started with the Iowa polls. As one after the other rolled in showing Carson in the lead the Trumpsters claimed they were all fake or push polls. Now pretty much all Iowa polls show Carson leading and suddenly Iowa doesn't matter.
Now this trend has spread nationally and we see the same phenomenon - denial, claims the poll is fake, that some sort of conspiracy is afoot, etc.
Something has happened to diminish Trump's popularity. That support is going to Carson - whom I believe is actually on a book tour and not even campaigning. My guess is Trump's dalliance with pseudo 9-11 truther nonsense offended a lot of Republicans who greatly admire GW Bush's response to 9-11. Conservatives may not have much use for brother Bush on almost any other issue, but they really do appreciate how he handled 9-11.
I don’t think Dr. Carson is even capable of Powell type treachery. And what did it profit Colin Powell? He didn’t even get a minor post in the ObaMao administration and his entire career and persona is forgotten. Nobody even talks about him anymore.
