What happened to Trump today? All I heard and read waste stories all across the board about Carson.

Well, although I like other options more than Rubio, he is a far better candidate than the gope has thrust upon us in the recent past.

That is good news.

Amnesty candidates are Designated Losers.

The RNC owes The Cheap Labor Express an amnesty candidate and Rubio fills the bill.

I will not vote for amnesty.

Trump and Carson hold, interesting enough, just shy of 50% of Republican support. So, as things shake out, none of the seven dwarfs will pick up enough to overtake them. It as the Patakis an Kasichs drop out, no one else will pick up enough support to emerge as a leader. And Trump and Carson will pick up some of that support. It comes down to Trump and Carson. Now if Carson drops out, where will HIS support go? THAT is the key question.

I agree with you but we may be all alone here on FR. The Amnesty issue, where Rubio is extremely weak, is the reason. A deal killer for many if not most Freepers.

My view: There is only one perfect candidate and his name is Ted Cruz. All the rest have some number of warts in various sizes and strengths.

Apparently O’Reilly had Trump on tonight and he hammered Carson. Haven’t watched it yet...maybe tomorrow. Cheers.

I do not care for Rubio’s position on amnesty either. I also like Cruz, who, though not perfect, comes closer than the rest.

The think what encourages me most is that all the poll leaders at this point are anti gope. It is great to see the anger of conservative voters expressed so clearly and loudly in the polls.

Ditto. I liked Trump much better when he left Carson alone. He doesn't need to try to take out every candidate single-handedly, most will implode on their own.

The Ben isn’t going away. Taking this country back from the political class which is the cause of the corruption of our Constitutional Republic is too important to give up on and Ben Carson knows it. He has the fortitude to stand up to the media because he knows we are at a critical time. This must again become a country that is for, of and by THE PEOPLE! He is the only one that has gone back to our founding principles as the basis for his campaign.

Well Ben Carson is a decent guy but his stance on the issues of the day are not helpful and are not going to restore the country.

Today he came out in favor of the TPP trade agreement which is an abomination. His heart is in the right place he is just unqualified to be President. He’s a doctor that’s what he knows.
