I’m a former homeschooler and Ben Carson is a hero to homeschoolers — we think for ourselves, we love education, and we want the best for our kids. His story has also always resonated with the evangelical crowd, because we understand how God changes a person’s heart.
This stuff being pulled by Trump is making me actually loathe the man.
My kids now attend a Christian school, and the high schoolers there call Trump “Tronald Dump.” The teens are conservative, but they actively dislike him. Evangelicals in my citrcle are starting to get more and more vocal about their dislike.
My only problem is I wish I didn’t have to choose between Cruz and Carson. I wanted Cruz, but if Carson is the only way to stop Trump, I’ll certainly cast a vote for him instead of Cruz.
Trump will fail miserably next to Hillary. Carson is the only primary candidate with a lead over Hillary.
If you showed this video to 100 Republican primary voters, at least 75 of them would be disgusted and turned off by Trump.
Dr. Ben may be a "hero" to your crowd and a bunch of stupid children, as well, so be it; however, he isn't fit to be president or even Sec. of health; or whatever! You may imagine that you "love education", but you are uneducated about Carson, what it takes to be a good president, and what type of person we need NOW to be president.
You might want to tell your children and their friends that unless Trump is elected they are likely to be living in a country where English is a second language.
You might also want to inform them that Gentle Ben said today that he would shoot down Russian planes that entered a no fly zone so they might be living in WW III.
Then be sure to tell them that they will need to try to figure out a way to make a living without having a job because if TPP is passed they won’t have one.
You and your children and your friends can loathe Donald Trump all you want but he is the only one willing to fight for you and your way of life,
If you think that Carson will do it or that Cruz will be able to do it then you need to do look seriously at the problems we are dealing with.
Before Carson decided to run, my children (who are not children anymore) also learned about his life story which is inspiring. I was disappointed when Carson decided to run for office because the press will try to destroy anyone, especially a Republican, who runs for POTUS. I didn’t want to see his good image destroyed.
With that said, I can’t picture Carson as POTUS. Yes, he’s intelligent. But, for a talented surgeon, POTUS is a step down. Running for POTUS requires getting in the mud to fight dirty, whereas Carson is a man who saves lives.
But I agree that Trump is alienating people when he talks this way, calling Iowan voters “stupid” and talking about “child molesters” when referring to
Carson.
“Trump will fail miserably next to Hillary. Carson is the only primary candidate with a lead over Hillary.”
You are wrong on that assertion ...
Polling of Dems shows that they most fear Trump in a match against HC, and by a wide margin (32%) ... Whereas only 2% fear Cruz - and Carson does not bode much better. The problem I have with you evangelicals, is that you do not want a street fighter, rather you prefer Jesus Christ. Well, Jesus ain’t running for the office, and we need a street fighter who will be unapologetic in kicking Dem / RINO ass.
The way I see it, it is the Evangelical “purists” who gave us 8 years of Obama.
Trump certainly isn’t perfect.
But despite the early polls with an electorate who isn’t that familiar with Carson, Carson has no business running for president and he would be eaten alive by Hillary.
Fine, have a particular animus toward Trump and don’t vote for him if you don’t want to. But for the sake of our country, please don’t vote for Carson, who BTW is terrible on the issues. Vote for Cruz if you don’t like Trump.
And yes, Evangelical voters in Iowa do seem to be poor in picking presidential candidates, getting caught up in who seems most Christian and “nice”, rather than who has the best and most conservative positions, would make the best president, and would be most competitive in the general election.
The "Church of Nice" is destroying this country right alongside of the communist and atheist activists. If you had a crime-ridden neighborhood and you couldn't afford to move, would you get a soft, cuddly cat for a watchdog, or would you get a big, healthy Doberman or mastiff? This nation is being overrun by lawlessness and lies. We need an attack dog, not the type of Christian who is participating even as I write in bringing Islamists to this country, believing that their complete and utter opposition to everything Christ taught is no threat to our children.
We are called to be wise as serpents as well as gentle as doves. Remember, even Satan can quote scripture. Do not be deceived.
