Trump won’t lose. Oh, yeah, he’s not getting my vote. And I’ve forgotten more than you’ll ever know about politics.

What do those stooo-pid corn-fed farmers with the Monsanto chemical-addled brains know?

>> Carson is most likely the “we want an outsider but NOT Trump” candidate. There are a lot of Republicans that just don’t like Trump at all - which is why he often has both the highest positives AND highest negatives in polling of Republican voters. It is also why in this poll more Republicans want Trump to drop out than anyone else including Jeb of all people.<<

You’re right, just as a whole lot of Republican voters don’t want Bush, a whole lot of us don’t want Trump. That will make it difficult for either one to gain the nomination. It will be hard for either to overcome the negative vote stacked against him because it’s such a high percentage in each case.

I’m happy to see Cruz, Fiorina, Rubio, and Carson positioned well thus far. It will be interesting to see if Carson can hold his gains and then expand on them, or if one of the other three starts to make their move instead.

It will also be interesting to see how Trump responds if Iowa keeps turning in another direction. So far, only one insulting tweet, supposedly sent by a young staffer as we’re being led to believe, but eventually I suspect he’ll pop his cork personally if the trend continues.

Carson came into attention when he spoke up at a breakfast in the white house or where ever thy had a breakfast with the President there, about three years ago. His own history is he was a successful brain surgeon at one of the MAJOR nationally known hospitals. He spoke up and challenged some of Obams’s actions, or positions. Him being black, intelligent, and political all caused a great hope he could and would say things to Obama that most all else censored before saying for fear of media attack.

Since he has resigned as head of that hospital and evidently retired from his medical practice MOO He is not ready in my opinion to be President. No doubt he is smart and a principaled person. Not experienced in Politics’ as far as most know.

Good point, but his numbers strain credulity at best.
