Agree. Dr Carson needs to be part of the coalition backing the constitutional conservative candidate. That could possibly earn him a nice cabinet position and he can go from there.
Scott Walker is not in this poll, for that reason I find it suspect.
Newsmax TV was advertising a piece about Carson. It said that Carson was a reformed ‘radical’. [I don’t have Newsmax TV, so I only heard that promo.]
I would want to know more about Carson’s ‘radical’ history.
Carson recalls in the documentary the tremendous influence Ronald Reagan had in shaping his views:
“I used to be a rather radical left-wing person. And I started listening to him, and I started listening to the things he was saying, and they made so much sense. And I actually began to think about the world in a very different way.”
Armstrong Williams, a television station owner and media strategist who oversaw the documentary’s production, has been friends with Carson since the 1990s, when Carson appeared on one of Williams’ talk show.

Not sure if this *documentary* goes into any more detail about Carson’s “rather radical left-wing” history.
Yes he is. And what? Are we the party of “me too” because we need a black on the ticket?
And Carson is so naive and/or full of himself he may not even recognize or care that he's being USED by dark GOP anti-conservative forces to skew the primaries.

Sounds like Newsmax is trying to be preemptive — get the bad out early enough that it may no longer have much impact.
Thanks for making my day (sarcasm). The silver lining is we can now focus on the positives of constitutional conservatism, as opposed to getting back in the Bushes.
RE: I can’t fathom anybody considering voting for nutjob Joe Biden. Any person who would do this is a fool in every sense of the word.
You mean the majority of those living in Delaware are nuts?
No matter what their various conservative-vs.-liberal ideologies may be, there are two type of Republicans running for the 2016 presidential nomination — tortoises and hares.
So far, Ben Carson is the only tortoise. He’s willing, and apparently happy, to work at the grassroots level, out of the spotlight, winning hearts and minds through his speeches and books, and gaining contributions through his PAC.
On the other hand, there are many, many hares in the 2016 race, those seeking the spotlight one way or another, or seeking funding from wealthy donors.
So it’s Ben Carson vs. many rivals who are splitting the hare vote. That’s why he’s winning in the polls and is likely to continue to keep amassing supporters until he has a sizable enough lead to win the primaries...and then the presidency.
“Isn’t Carson a gun grabber?”
Yes
Carson is not going to be the nominee. Though if he hangs around long enough he could help guarantee that either Bush or Romney is.
You say nuts...I say fools.
