The GOPe must be quaking in their boots that a conservative caught up to their boy.
Two recent converts trying for the top job
I would never vote for a recent convert for the top job
Ben Carson - the surging surgeon!
I’m not really surprised.
Nice sells.
Dr Benjamin Carson, following in the steps of the Great Dr. Benjamin RUSH. I’m rushing to support CARSON.
I think one thing Carson has going for him is that he acts presidential.
TRUMP has a huge independent following...Carson is a great guy....TRUMP has his own money....Carson would owe “favors”....TRUMP is a seasoned business expert..just what the U.S. needs right now...Carson is a Doctor......TRUMP is a “recovered Democrat”...like Reagan ....Carson...has done some stem cell research...and thinks” people in big cities should not own rifles”...TRUMP.
That’s nice. It is not nearly enough.
Yep, You got me on that.
Benjamin Solomon “Ben” Carson, Sr., M.D.
But his speaking style is very normal, more so than the policy statements in his books I would say, it is like having a conversation with your next door neighbor. Attractively not the same super smooth, tired phrases of most politicians but their effectiveness in the job is still completely untested.
Old news. New poll shows Trump 2:1 over Carson in Iowa.

Just like the rest, Conservative today.
June 20, 2015 “Dr. Ben Carson said America’s borders must be sealed to protect against terrorism and told a prominent group of Latino elected officials that he also supports giving illegal immigrants a path to legalization and eventual citizenship . . .”

Bump!
Faux poll. See new poll thread today. It’s not even close. Trump is way ahead.
There is almost nothing in Ben Carson’s stated positions or his character that rational conservative Republicans do not find compelling. If he were the Republican nominee and took 50% of the black vote, it would be a catastrophe for the Democrats.
For those of us that are one issue voters, your guy no better.
