Posted on 10/26/2015 8:08:49 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

There’s a new front-runner in Iowa, and — by popular demand — we talked about what it means in this week’s 2016 election Slack chat. As always, the transcript below has been lightly edited.

Even if Carson wins Iowa lets say, then Trump wins NH and also that block of southern states.

GOPe is such a painful group to endure!
Good grief. A whole bunch of these candidates will never be elected.

Benjamin Carson seems like a very nice man.
He can't go toe-to-toe with Vladimir Putin or similar.

The plan is for Carson to take out Trump, and for his “friends” to unleash a flood of trash on him as soon as he does.

I really don’t think that Carson will take out Trump. But Trump just might take out Trump.

Excuse me? I’m not in trouble for anything.

I posted an article and I will continue to post articles. If you want to take every article at face value, make sure you direct your hateful and sarcastic comments toward every article that is posted.

I like Carson A LOT but he doesn’t have what it takes.

Top Carson Aide Wants Taxpayers To Fund Farrakhan
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3353232/posts

Support of Farrakhan organization may force Ben Carson to separate from longtime adviser

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2015/10/support_of_farrakhan_organization_may_force_ben_carson_to_separate_from_longtime_adviser.html

I don’t think so. Not with Armstrong Williams singing the praises of Farrahkan and the Nation of Islam.

I actually donated to Carson more than once, but this is the final reason not to vote for him.

Carson seems likeable enough, but he doesn’t seem to have a lot of charisma and he is soft on immigration legal and illegal. Maybe in Iowa, unlike where my family lives you can still go to a mall and not feel like you are visiting a foreign country.

Carson better enjoy his IA win because it will be his only win.

After that, Trump will take NH and then SC and after that he’ll run the field.

WHY DO WE KEEP LETTING THE A-HOLES IN IOWA DICTATE THE FUTURE OF THE COUNTRY?

Carson may have his flash-in-the-pan moment in Iowa, and if that occurs and Carson DOES win the caucuses, remember that Poppy RINO GHWB won the Iowa caucuses in 1980, and then Reagan shook up his campaign, fired that moron of a manager John Sears, hired William Casey to take over, and from that point forward, the Gipper kicked that RINO’s ass all the way to the convention.

Trump will no doubt make that history repeat itself if necessary.
