The biggest thing that is bothering me BIG TIME right now is Carsons’ affiliation with SHARPTON and his references to Farrakhan. The media ignores it. Is it something to ignore, (to me no, but I just can’t tell anymore) or will Trump flush it out later on? That is a big shocker for anyone following him to swallow. I don’t even follow him but when I saw this, that was it for me. When I told friends of this, they were stunned. SMH
Actually, the association with them could help him. Whether we like it or not, Sharpton has morphed himself from a common street thug to a respected pundit, at least to non-conservatives.
Carson creates a bridge of reconciliation for Sharpton, when he says I agree with his goals but not his methods. What are Sharpton’s goals? Racial justice. Is anyone against that?
We may have different definitions, but I would hope all agree that racial justice is a worthy thing.
But there is a large bloc of voters who are of strife. Tired of division. They look at Washington, and all they see is Republicans fighting Democrats. Many are disappointed that our biracial president not only didn’t do more to continue the betterment of race relations but rather used thoffice to mare them infinitely worse. We have Occupy Wall Street and the dems stirring up class warfare.
And some folks are saying stop!!
And so they are naturally drawn to someone who appears to want to lead the nation on the road to reconcliation.
Is that enough to win an election?
Beats me. But I’m voting for Cruz, anyway.
