So we’re just like the Democrats and mere race & gender get you a place on stage?
The MSM will do its best to decide the Democratic and Republican nominees. Its best is still very good -- its propaganda works. We have to run a campaign against the MSM that reaches the voters through the MSM. If Carson and Fiorina are in the debates, it will be harder for the MSM to effectively slander Republicans as anti-woman and anti-black.
That doesn't make us quite like the Democrats, who genuinely believe that high skin melanin content and double-X chromosomes are job qualifications.
With Hillary as the likely Dem nominee, I think that keeping Fiorina in the debates is more important than keeping Carson, but I don't regard either of them as a token identity candidate. Neither will be president, but they are very impressive people. By staying in front of television cameras, they can help Ted Cruz win.
No, YOU are just like Democrats and can’t see past that.
Ben has some great ideas that need to be heard rather than dismissed.
He’s just not ready for the office.
Carly has some great ideas and is in the perfect position to beat up on Hillary, in a capacity other candidates can not.
