Carson is not the one folks...pay attention.
This is the 2nd Iowa poll now that shows Carson leading Trump fairly big. And another new polls shows Carson leading Trump and Rubio in Wisconsin.
So suddenly Carson is surging a bit and Trump is deflating. What caused it? I doubt this apparent change happened for no reason.
I wonder if maybe Trump’s swing through trutherville by blaming Bush for 9-11 soured many voters view of “the Donald”. I don’t think most Republicans and almost no conservatives want Jeb for President, but I do believe most still admire brother Bush for his handling of 9-11. Trump may have crossed a line that pushed a lot of Republican voters away from him.
Their party is ‘minority’ ... just as women of ANY persuasion like the idea of a female President (albeit a hopelessly flawed, corrupt and fallible moron like Evita)... American ethnic minorities like the idea of an ethnic minority in the WH. They never DID comprehend the issues past 'what's in it for me', so-Carson looks good to them because he AIN'T white. In a way that's good... maybe now they will ACTUALLY THINK about what the candidates are saying.
It's come to THAT... issues don't seem to matter... It's all about race and gender. Pretty bonehaed if you ask me.
Carson’s campaign faked his Facebook likes to catch up to Trump right before the last debate (then bragged about how many he had later!) H/T Proust

It’s Jeb’s Rove GOPe, not Carson pumping Carson’s numbers right now. They have to psych out Trump before the debate. Just like the fake Facebook likes came before the last debate.
BTW, notice how quickly the MSM dropped the story of Jeb’s “No Labels” staffer plant who asked Trump the GOPe scripted questions?
LOL.
So you are sure managing department politics in a hospital qualifies him to deal with Iran North Korea Russia and China plus deal with tens of millions of illegal immigrants, an annual US debt ceiling that has now reached $20 trillion with only $3 trillion in annual tax collection, and an economy due to be further decimated next year by obamacare falling on every business with 50 employees, Oh and to manage all this with the help of a U.S. Congress which is half completely partisan foaming at the mouth liberal democrats that will do everything possible to make him fail, and Republican who only care about keeping their desks.
Ooo Kay
I will say this with the conviction of putting up a grand that if he is our nominee that the wicked witch from the north will steamroll him like a grasshopper. It will be the blowout like 84.
Wrong, wrong, wrong!
Also very insulting and patronizing toward blacks and women.
I have no problem believing it....point is why does anyone care what Iowa does. It has been show in the past that winning Iowa has nothing to do with ones electability.
Believe the polls you like and disbelieve the polls you don’t like. No problem.
I don’t think most conservatives get that upset at dissing Geo. W Bush!!!
Trump still has more Dem and Indy support than I would have believed possible, and I'm not too sure he isn't still out front in Iowa by a fair amount (regardless of these polls), but he is being hammered on by the GOPe out here. You certainly know who he's scaring the USCofC poop out of.
Mr. niteowl77
Dedicated Trump hater and DC establishment troll.
The WI poll was a NPR poll of 600 NPR listeners people being peddled by Murdoch smear media Newsmax.
It was pretty much garbage hit.
It’s good to know your a Bushbot Pro Amnesty troll too.
Are you a paid DC Jebbie establishment troll like Bert ?
Now let's put him in charge of every crisis going on. Right now.
Who are his advisors? Right now. He never built or ran a business so who is advising him on the economy? Who has he consulted on managing the economy? How about National defense? Did he ever command a military force? Which of his advisors has top level military experience? What is his strategic nuclear strategy?
Immigration? What happens the day Ben Carson becomes President?
Black lives matter? What's he going to do? He's from Baltimore. Did he show any leadership ship there or have any suggestions? Dude wants to be president. Did he offer his presence to the mayor or police?
Can you name any of Carson's advisors that give us a clue who he's going to have for a cabinet?
Other than standing meekly at the last debate like he was stoned and observing the other candidates argue, what stood out about Ben Carson?
30 years. Pediatric neurosurgery.
That’s a lot more than managing department politics.
Plus international treks as a world-renowned pioneer in twin separation.
Plus 20 hour stints standing in the OR leading an exhausted team in a very emotional experience.
Self discipline. Leadership. Split second life and death trauma decision making for *children* which always ups the ante in medicine.
Call a lawyer at 3 am and demand a coherent and complete defense strategy be laid out right this minute.
I’m not saying he is the best choice. Just that people who don’t work in medicine are selling him way way short. Have you seen his prayer breakfast speech from 2013?
Yep. The Bushbots on here don’t want to see Trumps numbers with Indy and Dem crossovers or against Dems.
Yeah, funny how LSM dropped the flakey intern story.
No, haven’t seen his speech from 3 years ago at a prayer breakfast.
Have the Iranians watched it?
How about the Chinese?
It's a big time push poll:
