It’s either that, or go to the trouble of using ’ to display ’. . . and “ and ” to display “ and ” respectively.
You sure find out how many apostrophes you do use when a constraint like this hits, don’t you!
That is what they said about Jimmy Carter, too . . .There are many good Christians who, sad to say, should not be put in charge of ten people - never mind of the whole shebang.
As Wm. F. Buckley, Jr. said about the Harvard faculty.
Folks, the press and media (and they are the ones conducting the polls that we hear about) have been pounding the drums for Ben Carson for several weeks. Why? Well, the answer almost certainly has to do with their own political biases. Simply put, the press & media are in the tank for the Dems. Who do the Dems want to be running against next November? Hint: the answer is not “Donald Trump.”
Next topic.
Another explanation comes to mind. Much like the communists in our country think communism hasn’t worked because the right people have not tried it and are bound and determined to make it work, our side may be thinking the same thing about a black candidate.
Thinking is 'Above Your Gay Parade'.
Check Hillary’s head to head polls against various Republicans. Trump does about the worst. Even Bernie Sanders beats him.
Check Trump’s net favorability rating. By far the worst among all Republicans.
Then check Trump’s wedding photos with his dear friends Bill and Hillary and his record of campaign contributions to Hillary and donations to the Clinton Foundation.
You have to be willfully blind not to see Trump is a Clinton plant.
>>Trump is a Clinton plant. He is the only “Republican†she can beat.<<
That’s much easier to believe than all the other conspiracy theories circulating here....but of course the polls showing exactly that are just a conspiracy too.
Now Carson has admitted to lying about his “acceptance to West Point,” never applied at all, just all a big lie he’s been telling for years.
I'm a Cruzer so I am not emotionally invested in Trump, but he's OK with me.
I'm not willfully blind, but I don't see Trump as anyone's 'plant'.
By plant, I think you mean, he is there to be beaten by hildabutchbitch should he win the pubbie nomination?
If so, NFW.
>>Folks, the press and media (and they are the ones conducting the polls that we hear about) have been pounding the drums for Ben Carson for several weeks. <<
Oh, so the narrative in here among the Trump supporters has now switched from:
Where the hell did Carson come from. I don’t know anyone who supports him and no one’s saying anything about the guy so how does he rise in the polling?
to:
They’ve been pounding the drums for Carson for weeks...
Interesting...
First off, I’m not in the “narrative” business.
Second, the polls - all conducted by one or a combination of several media outlets - HAVE reflected a rise in Carson’s popularity. Also, the media have almost gleefully reported that “Trump is trailing Carson” or “Billionaire Donald Trump is fading” or similar words and headlines to that effect.
I’ll note that you did not actually address my main point, you just issued an ad hominem attack on me as a supposed part of the “Trump narrative” club.
To quote you: “Interesting...”
