>> Carson is number 2. Didn’t anyone watch the debate?
JMO: There is a surprisingly large group comprised of what I’ll call “low information Christian voters”. Don’t get me wrong — I mean no disrespect for this group. But they don’t pay close attention to politics (often because they’re spending much of their time in service to the LORD).
This group has latched on to the idea that Ben Carson is a) a devout Christian and b) a political outsider and c) a “good guy”, and that’s ALL they need — or care — to know. They read one of his feel-good books and see him on a talk show once or twice, and the hook is set.
I don’t think this condition is healthy, because his supporters are not looking past his “goodness” to see if he can actually DO THE JOB.
Then again I’m not too worried about it, because I also don’t think their allegiance is permanent.
Just my 2c. FRegards
You may be onto something
A true Christian friend here. She loves Dr. Ben, (and being in the nursing profession) looks at his life from that perspective. However, after hearing TRUMP, seeing how TRUMP stands on certain issues she likes him as well. Knowing her and her knowledge and dislike for radical Muslims, Islam, and Sharia, she plans to vote for TRUMP knowing Dr. Carson is not as apt to get US where we wish to be. Her eyes have been opened as to what we need and how much he is needed.
GO TRUMP! GO CRUZ!~ You win or we lose!
Spot on post ;-)

I’m in S. Carolina today visiting family just outside Columbia. Been here since last Saturday and headed back tomorrow.
Everything you say is true. In the past few days I’ve been able to turn them around to Trump/Cruz. They are no longer thinking that Carson is their choice.

I agree, except that I don’t think those low info Christian voters are spending their time in service to the Lord. I think they are spending their time in service to themselves. Evangelicals seem to me to be a very lazy bunch of individuals who not only do not pay much attention to politics, for the most part they do not know much about what scripture really teaches; it is all fuzzy and warm to their way thinking. If they did take Christianity seriously, they way they should, they would be fundamentalists, not evangelicals. But most of them do not even know the difference.
