How is Trump supposed to win over Carson’s voters by calling them stupid?
This also puts the lie to him saying an “intern” put out his deleted tweet saying the corn was affecting Iowans’ brains. He said the exact same thing here in a different way.
Sounds like Kent Brockman from The Simpsons...”I for one place the blame squarely on you, the viewers.”

He’s already gotten away with so much that he may now have come around actually to believe that no matter how outrageous his personal attacks might be, and no matter how much he may lack substance on some critical issues, he’ll continue to dominate the race.
Still, maybe his roaring success to date, based as it is upon his ego-driven attitude and his tons of free-media publicity, will eventually infect him with a full-blown case of hubris. That possibility suggests that if he continues to escalate his rhetorical excesses and personal insults, he may like Icarus “fly too close to the Sun” and find that his waxen wings have all melted away.
Will it happen? Maybe not. I gotta think that today, Friday the 13th, his kids and campaign manager are working him over vigorously, with the goal of preventing another questionable rant like that of last night in Iowa. Trump is obviously a very smart guy. So if he really wants the POTUS job — as opposed to being merely on a nationwide publicity tour to enhance his “brand” — maybe he’ll tone things down.
