To: The Final Harvest
From some of the comments here, I’d gather that although Mr. Carson is extremely intelligent and a pleasant person; WE NEED A LOUD-MOUTHED - GET IT DONE KIND OF PERSON.

Sometimes a loud mouth is just a loud mouth and doesn't get things done. Lyndon Johnson was a loudmouth and a bully, but he understood how government worked so he was able to push his agenda through. Another loudmouth might just get bogged down swapping insults with people.

AND .. guess what ..?? I suspect the disaffected Jeb supporters are turning to Carson; mainly because he seems to be similar in character; soft spoken and soft on amnesty, against guns, etc. He’s a perfect fit for the people who vote GOP-e.

On the theory that whoever doesn't support whoever you do has to be part of the GOPe, sure. Actually, though, Trump is stronger among moderate to liberal voters than Carson is. If Ben Carson is a candidate who can win over more conservative and more moderate voters (as Donald Trump apparently can), good for him.

Well, I wish them all luck .. I’m voting for and supporting Ted Cruz.

Ted Cruz has been more vocal (on the most important issues) than most of the rest of the candidates (except for Trump). Ted is hated because he’s always willing to stand for principle instead of capitulating to the DemocRATS.

While Trump may be loud and brash; I’d have to say, he has been able to accomplish quite an empire of prosperous buildings all around the world. So, to intimate that he’s all “loud mouth” is a bit disingenuous.

However, I’m one of those who ALWAYS votes. I refuse to cede my vote to the DemocRATS, just because the candidate is not my very favorite.
