It looks like Ben Carson’s people have learned from the paulistas how to work a straw poll.

Even though he is unqualified, Ben Carson is ten times more qualified than the communist agitator we have now.

I still don’t get why so many completely ignore Carson’s 2nd Amendment position - which is rather bad...

What is the point of these straw polls? Do they ever predict anything?

Carson’s opinion on the second amendment is evolving. Whether it is from the heart or not remains to be seen.

Even though he is unqualified, Ben Carson

What "unqualifies" him? Not enough "government" experience? I look for intelligence, common sense and temperament along with a love of country and a conservative bent. What do you look for?

I have always hated the qualification meme. The constitution only states age and residency as qualifications. Like judges where does it say a judge has to be a lawyer. No where.

Sound mind and the gumption to speak plainly.

I doubt 1,000 Republican caucus goers showed up at the Puyallup Fair.

I don't buy it.

I’m not overly fond of that position either. I’m more of a Paul supporter followed by Cruz. However I found these results a bit of an eyebrow-raiser.

I like Dr. Carson and he is really grounded in reality, but I would hate to see the anal exam he would be given by the demoncraps.

He would make a great Surgeon General.

His amnesty stance is worse.

I thought his mother worked 3 jobs and now Carson says Americans won’t do those jobs.
