Democrats are conducting an Operation Chaos to nominate Ben over Trump...That is not true at all. They perceive both as real threats, but feel much better about their prospects with Trump with his very high negatives and his propensity for gaffe. They can isolate Trump so long as they can keep the unions from defecting.
Trump is polarizing.
Carson completely blows all their stereotyping to smithereens. He is an existential threat that, if he were to be the GOP nominee, might delegate the Democrats to the back bench for a generation.
Think about a GOP nominee who could keep social and economic conservatives in the fold, but who could appeal to African Americans who have been taken for granted for generations now in the Democratic party. Those socially conservative black Democrats who might otherwise line up more with the GOP but could not get past the stereotype of the white man's party for rich people. If he could pull 20% of the African American vote, it would be an utter massacre at the polls. And I think he could pull 30% in his sleep. I could see a wave, a sea change, an earthquake of support for him on election day where he might pull 35-40% of African Americans. I'd love to see him as the GOP choice and Hillary as the Dem choice and watch to see how many African Americans connect with Hillary Clinton. It would be fatal.
Carson will be easy to take out after Trump is vanquished.
The average black laughs at Carson because he’s a republican.
He stands no chance of winning the GOP nomination. The man will put you to sleep talking. And what’s this with him closing his eyes all time and garbling his words? He acts like he’s on a very strong anti-depressant. Trump’s only negative is his big mouth, because he absolutely has the best ideas of any candidate running.
Never believe he can’t beat any democrat in a general election. The ones they say can’t win can win, and the ones they say can win, can’t win. If Trump were to get the nomination he would win the general election going away. There will be no Obama third team, and all in the hell Hillary Clinton is is Obama in a Chairman Mao jacket.
