.........[Ben Carson] is leading in North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas, Wisconsin, and Iowa. That's impressive. It's well-known that he's doing well with religious conservatives in Iowa, but now it looks as though he has appeal throughout the South and other Midwestern states.
[SNIP]
What can Trump do to rebound? He has tried casting doubt on Carson's religion. He has tried having plenty of book signings. In an interview recently he said he was going to replace Obamacare with "something much better." Who wouldn't want to vote for someone who is going to institute a "something much better" health care system? He also promises to "quickly and brutally cut the head off of ISIS." I'm for cutting the head off ISIS. Let the head-cutting begin!
Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be enough for voters. His tax plan has higher rates than other tax plans, like Ted Cruz's flat tax.
I'm not a big Ben Carson fan. I don't think he has the experience to be an executive or the temperament to take on Hillary. Trump might be able to at least do the latter. So what can Trump do to improve his position in the polls?
1) Talk about the insanity of "transgenderism" - letting boys into girls' locker rooms.
2) Give more detail on his vague immigration plan of letting the "good ones" come back after they are deported. How many "good ones" are there? Millions?
3) Speak out about the need for voter ID to protect the integrity of the voting process.
4) Pledge to end birthright citizenship by executive order on the first day of his presidency.
5) Tell us what he would replace Obamacare with. I suspect he himself does not know.
What else do you think he can do to help himself?

You don’t get it but you do know where the caps key is on your computer.
I haven't hit you over the head over the tripe you've been posting for months on end; here. I doubt that you're even "for" Dr. Crazy. But anything and everything to tear Trump down, you're all for.
Take a breath and read something that warrants your peak.
And it's pique; not "PEAK" !
"Ire" is also a good word.
: )
Just what we need to do. Go from a muslim president to a president who is a member of the church that spawned David Koresh.
What should concern the Trumpettes is in most polls their Donald fares the worst vs. Hillary among all the leading GOP candidates.
You think Ben Carson is like David Koresh?
Then you must believe that Mitt Romney is like Warren Jeffs.
There are any number of people who have hijacked a faith to start a cult.
It is wrong to accuse this way.
I saw that.
That should open their eyes and ears.
August 30, 2015: Trump Hosts Televangelists Who Fleece Their Flocks
...”White, who hosts a TV show called Paula White Today on The Word Network and pastors New Destiny Christian Center in Apopka, Florid... took the helm at that church after its former shepherd died of a heroin and cocaine overdose.
Trump and White have been friends for years, which makes sense because they have a lot in common. In addition to having their own popular TV shows, they’re on their third marriage-Trump’s to former model Melania Trump, and White’s to the keyboardist for Journey.
Trump has been a guest on her programming numerous times, and they seem to be big fans of each other. He’s called her “a beautiful person, both inside and out,” and recommended that viewers read her book You’re All That: Understanding God’s Design For Your Life so they would “be ready for great success.” White has compared him to “a diamond that reveals a new facet each time it is turned in the light,...
White, like Trump, is also a big fan of cash. She’s typically characterized as a proponent of the prosperity gospel-a theologically suspect approach to Christianity whereby pastors (often before huge congregations or on TV broadcasts) tell listeners that God wants them to become very wealthy, and that if they just give “a seed” to said pastors’ ministries, they’ll reap great financial returns and be #blessed. White’s e-store features a sermon called “Why God Wants You Wealthy.” Of course, Donald Trump wants people to be rich as well, which is why White once offered her viewers-for a ministry contribution of $25-a copy of Trump’s book Why We Want You to Be Rich. Everyone wants you to be rich! Praise the Lord!
White’s website has...interesting deals. One (your correspondent’s personal favorite) is called the “2015 Atonement Package.”....

Trump is right on the only issue that really matters this time- immigration. If we don’t address that we won’t have a country to argue politics over, or a language to argue in.
I have no idea who needs to humble him or herself before God. That’s between them and God. I try not to judge.
really pimping - Gee, Free republic is getting to the point that yahoos like you make it almost impossible to even want to be a part of a conservative grassroots. So now CW is responsible for Scott Walkers decline. scott Walker decline is because of Scott Walker. If Carson declines it is his responsibility not CW.
so chris37 maybe it is time you take your head out of your backside and stop belittling others. The maturity level of what you say is no different than Donald trump - a preschooler who does not get his way so he throws a temper tantrum and insults many others. Funny Meghan Kelly has suffered no ill effects because of Donald’ Temper tantrum’s against her at Fox News!
Speaking of prosperity religion, I told my wife today that I suspect there are investors who put up cash to build these big nondenominational churches and get great returns. They should all be audited. The money has to be going somewhere.
And you believe he will do what you think he's said he will do based on his past? Good luck with that.
Have you seen the churches, homes and automobiles of the prosperity scam artists? The money is no better than a way to better themselves and fleece the public. My mother gave money to her prosperity church, the 700 Club. The prosperity church is now defunct and the Pastor lives high on the hog in Brazil, where he started yet another scam church. The 700 Club, when asked to contribute to my mothers care at a nursing home they hung up me!
i took a kid to a Prosperity school in the 1993 in California ran by Roberts Liardon. I later learned that Roberts Liardon was involved in homosexual relations with his male staff. Now Liardon is in the UK, spreading his false gospel.
Agree, but I've said "we wouldn't even know his name."
There are plenty of Biblical references pertaining to humbling oneself before God and seeking His forgiveness. It was Trump himself who said he doesn’t seek God’s forgiveness.
The man doesn’t seek forgiveness from God. That doesn’t give you pause?
