Ben Carson is doing a SUPER job, and in Colorado Springs had a crowd bigger than Trump. I get upset that CNN always puts on the news Trump and Bush, and avoids Carson. Is it because they are really racist... Or are REALLY afraid of ideas based on logic, reason and reality.

They’re also not counting Cruz as an outsider. Add up Trump, Carson, and Cruz and in some polls it’s a majority.

He had hundreds at his rally. How is that bigger than Trump? I read the article from the newspaper and it said hundreds showed up.

Jeb is now
like an armadillo carcase
on the yellow line
receding into the distance
left far behind
alone
rotting.

Really? They aren’t deluting the Trump rebel vote. They might hedge on it some, but, there is a difference between hundreds and thousands.

Agree, but is there any doubt they’d try?

Yeah, NOT Presidential, by looking at him, he doesnt look like he could do any wonders with a surgeons scapel on peoples brains. HE IS CAPABLE, NONE, of the founding fathers would have been labeled Presidential, Their CHARACTER gave them the CAPACITY to be President. Charge ON.. Ben Carson. Run, Ben Run.

I really like Dr. Carson but I cannot understand his popularity in these polls. He obviously is smart enough but I think the politics in D.C. would steamroll him.

Sorry, Jeb. Hey, maybe you can go out and buy a baseball team or something.

Plus, by raising Carson’s profile they can paint supporters of other more popular candidates as redneck bigots who can’t stand black people.

The Republican party has never been the party of bigots or racists. It’s the DEMS who are that way.

Of course. But the media narrative is a different story.

Carson doesn't have the range or charisma to get very far in the race, but we both know how the MSM will explain his inability to gain traction.
