I wonder if Trump is playing a rope-a-dope with Ben Carson.There were a ton of conservatives breaking for Carson before his campaign fell apart. Yah, he's weak, but he's an outsider. He's moral. Will bring in cultural conservatives. Will dispel the lie that Trump is racist. Will maintain the outsider mystique.
A lot of people agree with you about Carson.
The only problem is that Trump insinuated that Carson was nuts.
