Wrong skill set for the Presidency. Enough said.
However, I think the media interest in Carson doesn’t really envision him as President, or the nominee. The Uniparty-Infotainment axis merely needs a spike strip to slow down the Trump express before things get out of control, so that either little Marco can be inflated large enough to replace ¡Yeb! or they can convince Mitt to “save the party”.
I would not put a lot of worry into the GOPe/MSM/DEM conspiracy thing. Its hard enough to get more than two to conspire effectively and not to mention all at the success they have been having up to date against Trump.
