Barry Bennett, who resigned his role as campaign manager for Ben Carson a few days ago, just issued a somewhat shocking prediction on the winner of the Republican Party presidential primary - and it's not his former employer, but rather Donald Trump.
"All you've got to do is compare the size of everyone's rallies," he said, during an interview with CNN. "Donald Trump is having ten-, twelve-thousand people show up at rallies, and a lot of these guys are having five or six people show up at their events in Iowa."
Bennett said "unless something cataclysmic happens," Trump was slated to win the primary nod.
"The establishment can fret about it all they want," he said, Bloomberg reported, "but this is the new reality."
Bennett, as WND reported, resigned along with Doug Watts, communications director for Carson, amid growing dissatisfaction with the direction of the campaign. In a joint statement, the two said they continue to "respect the candidate" and "wish him and his campaign the best of luck."
Still, Carson's polls have suffered dramatically in recent weeks, dropping from 29 percent in one poll in October to barely 11 percent in December. And according to Bennett, those numbers aren't headed up any time soon.
Despite all the money the campaign's spent on targeted efforts and get-out-the-vote initiatives, Bennett said "it's getting harder and harder to see how Donald Trump isn't our nominee," Politico reported.
And perhaps that's not a bad thing, he suggested.
"Well, I think Ben Carson has the best head and the best heart," he said, during the interview. "[But] I'm a realist, and I believe in data, I believe in polls. And I have not seen a plan out there that is going to take down Donald Trump quite yet."

PING
?
Seems more like reading the handwriting on the wall.
Another one eating smart pills finally get it!
A lot of Trump supporters are Democrats and people who don’t usually vote. If Trump gets the nomination, I predict he wins in a landslide.
WOOHOO TRUMP!!! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!

Campaigning as an American for Anerica...
Putting America first, who would have thought such a campaign would work?
Seriously, the Republicans have cowtowed to the Dems for decades, who have been cowtowing to the globalist a for decades, did they really think there wouldn’t be hell to pay sooner or later?
The only state Trump might not win during the Primaries is Iowa and that’s because it’s a caucus system not a voting booth.
Trump will bring in the blue dogs, he’s going to win big in the general. It won’t be 1984, but the midatlantic, upper Midwest, New England lock that dems have had for decades will collapse hard.
Trump is the only candidate who cracks the ec map wide open.
Hot Diggity!
We Stump for TRUMP
Trump/Cruz we cannot lose
Justice for AMERICA AND ALL GREAT AMERICANS!
from his lips to God’s ears
Remember he has access to internal polls that the media doesn’t publish.
Welcome to the real world, Barry Bennett! Now you can enjoy the Trump campaign like the rest of us.
If Trump doesn’t win IOWA it will be close enough that the delegates awarded will be very close. There are several article posted earlier in the fall that explain how detailed the Trump on ground organization is organized. YUGE data base with Captains for small groups organized from sign up done from crowds at rallies
At this point its kind of looking inevitable. :-)
If you want to see some tremendous pictures of the crowds at a Trump rally....go to www.shoebat.com and click on the lettering to the left of a black and white picture of Trump. No wonder the press and cameras won’t show the crowds.
If Trump wins Iowa —it will start a chain reaction that will sweep the early Primary states.
