Media attack Trump, later turned out to be false, Trump polls shot up.

Media attack Carson, later turned out to be false, Carson polls also shot up, no?

Why the difference? Why predicting a Carson implosion?

The media regularly predict Trump will implode also.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Because Trump is different in a few ways.

First, Trump has had negative press for the better part of 30 years. All of his flaws and foibles are well known after just a cursory examination of his coverage. So Trump sayings something outrageous and controversial is a given, not a surprise. Carson doesn’t have that luxury. To people who saw him as a heroic figure on a mission to save America, every speck of dirt stands out in contrast to their hopes.

Second, Trump is a master of messaging and social media. He can get ahead of a story and get his side out faster that the media can write their slants and angles. Carson just doesn’t have that ability. Honestly, Trump stands alone in that ability in this cycle.

I have said from the minute Carson got a couple of polls in which he was ahead of Trump that the media would turn on Carson, thinking Trump was dead. I expected this kind of attack.

If they knock Carson down so they can elevate Cruz, same thing. They will begin the nasty attacks on Ted. Trump has weathered this stuff for four months.

Dr. Ben Carson ... QUIT PLAYING EGO GAMES ... and ACT like you're "Presidential Material".



Under "normal" circumstances with "decent" people and a "moral news media" Congress and the Senate would be filled with 535 "Dr. Ben Carson" types.

That would be a good thing.

But that's not reality.



Dr. Ben Carson (once he accomplished his first surgeries) has been "coddled" ... for both his accomplishments and because he's black ... sorry, that's the TRUTH ...

so Dr. Ben Carson has been wandering around saying whatever he wants, whatever comes into his mind, "whatever" ...

and that is NOT how a 2016 U.S. Presidential Campaign is successfully operated.

Period.



This whole "Mannatech, Westpoint and Pyramids" sequence should be a DAMNED wake-up call for what I suspect is an arrogant (I'm the smartest guy in the room) Dr. Ben Carson.

Being U.S. President is NOT about a person's ego ...

Rather, it's like being a U.S. Marine Sniper at Falujia ... where EVERY shot MUST be a "kill" ...

or your buddies DIE.


Dr. Ben Carson ... QUIT PLAYING EGO GAMES ... and ACT like you're "Presidential Material".
