I have yet to meet a single Carson supporter.
They exist, but they spend most of their time drooling in the corner and not among civilized people.
That is the question of the day. I have not met or know anybody who has even mentioned Carson as a possible.

I’ve actually seen a couple of bumper stickers around San Antonio. Also saw my 1st Rubio sticker today. Funny I have seen any for !yeb! or Linda Graham though.
The Carson supporters we knew of have come over to Cruz.
I saw a Carson bumper sticker this afternoon. That makes a total of one supporter that I've seen.
I know one Carson supporter. Her reason, he’s such a nice man.
No one has ever given policy reasons to support Carson. He is wrong on every major issue.
Here’s my take: I am a big Cruz supporter. But he comes off as the geek/knowitall we all hated in College. Carson comes off as the guy everyone wants as a dinner guest. I suspect both on the micro level are really nice guys, but perception is everything.
My wife thinks he walks on water and I can’t talk to her about any positions of his. I gave up trying.
>> I have yet to meet a single Carson supporter.
I know a few, mostly at church. They read something somewhere that makes Ben sound “religious” so they’re all gung ho for him. Upon gentle examination it turns out they are low-info and unaware of many of his dodgy attributes. I don’t think their support has any staying power.
I see very few supporters for Carson on FB. He’s a ‘nice’ guy and would be good in another position but no one trusts him as prez.
They like Carson because he’s clean, articulate, mainstream, a real storybook candidate.
Most of them don’t want to admit they support him because 2 or 3 questions in and they have to admit it’s mainly because he’s black, which they know in the back of their mind makes them sound stupid.
You didn’t hear? Trump now has NO support and Carson has 93% in the latest bsnbc polls. :>}
You need to go to church!
No, I don't mean it that way LOL. There are a large number of people I am with on Facebook, most of them are evangelical churchgoers (like me). Now, I'm a Trumpster; but large numbers of my fellow-believers think Carson is the right guy. They don't understand about 7th-Day Adventism, nor do they seem to notice his weaknesses. They just think he is so pure on issues important to Christians.
I don't think he is pure at all; but there you have it. Some believers have this pipe dream that we can elect someone based on what Carson seems to represent -- soft-spoken-ness, faith in the Bible and the Constitution.
Me, I am certain that we need a winner, with a winning attitude, who will win at home and in the world, and who will at least have a clue how to restore America to its winning greatness.
I have met several. They think he is a “moral man.” None speak of any particular policy position.
Did you know many Huckabee supporters? It’s the same group - mostly evangelicals plus a lot of people who want an outsider who is not Trump. It’s why Huckabee can’t get any traction this time around - his voters have all gone to Carson.
There are a lot of right of center voters who don’t want an establishment candidate, but also don’t like “the Donald”. Carson seems to be getting a lot of those people right now.
I don't know any either. Oklahoma City
I have not met any either. He is not the person this country needs.
Same here, come to think of it. I’ve never met a Carson supporter.
Your turn.
ditto...
All I ever hear from anyone that actually knows who he is, “he seems like a nice guy”. That’s it.
