‘I dont know why anyone would want to have someone who is not going to enforce the law as the chief law enforcement officer of the United States.’
That is another reason why I can’t believe Carson’s poll numbers. He has no intention of enforcing immigration law.
How many seats in the New Jersey State house did Christie get?
Not a single one
The New Jersey republicans lost three seats yesterday
Not good
I DON'T believe his poll numbers. I don't dispute that he's popular - he's a very nice guy with many good ideas, and he talks about them in a normal, conversational way. I just don't believe that he's Presidential timber - he's never managed anything but a small staff (and, being in business, I know that this is mainly the job of an office manager), he's never been too heavily involved in negotiations, he's got zero foreign policy experience, etc.
Trump is, of course, an abrasive New Yorker (but I repeat myself). But he has LOTS of real-world experience as a manager, he's had to make budgets with his own money, and he negotiates pretty much every day in some form or other. No, he's no foreign policy maven - but he wants to WIN, and very clearly is an ultra-competitive person who will do whatever it takes to succeed. He's done a LOT of hiring of expert managers to handle details (something that, again, Carson hasn't).
So, why is Carson so high in the polls? Simple: the media and the GOPe want him there, so they fudge things a bit (easy to do with polls). He is Trump's key competition - and if he is seen to be stuck at 15%, or even falling a bit below that, Trump will so utterly dominate the field that the race will be over by Super Tuesday, if not before - and TPTB cannot stand for that, so they put pressure on the poll-takers to fudge things a bit.
