Ben Carson implosion isn't good news for Republican elites. It's good news for Trump.
Vox ^ | November 6, 2015 | dylan

Posted on 11/06/2015 3:46:17 PM PST by entropy12

A national poll released by Fox News this week asked Republican voters who they'd support with and without Carson in the race. Without Carson, Trump gains 8 percentage points, Marco Rubio gains 5, and Cruz gains 3: Sans Carson, Trump goes from 26 to 34% Cruz goes from 11 to 14% Rubio goes from 11 to 16%

Nothing has hurt Trump so far! What convinces you this Carson West Point episode will?

If you are referring to this particular thread, it has less to do with the Carson West point story, and more to do with the Fox polls indicating who will benefit IF Carson drops out. As I said in my post #1, this story is unlikely to force Carson to drop out.

Trumps an ass but I like that he’s in your face about everything that seems to matter, at least to normal people but I don’t trust him... I’d like to see it in someone who’d actually do something about it like Cruz.

Be nice if someone could put it even more direct and state upfront Obama is a POS who’s done a lot to destroy this country, his administration are idiots without a clue, political correctness needs to be destroyed and liberals are the new NAZI’s. Demand a a revolution to take back America and get rid of the scum that want to take this nation down.

“Carson is unlikely to drop out, based on the West Point story. General Westmoreland has passed. “

Of course he will not drop out over this.

This is typical witch hunting and dung digging by the MSM to find any shred of anything they can spin into a scandal.

He was an extremely gifted kid, who was the top ROTC candidate in Detroit that year.

From his perspective an offer to get him an appointment would have sounded like a scholarship to any kid from the projects.

In essence, an appointment is a full ride scholarship...but it is different because it requires a senatorial/congressional backing. But he never went that far...at all.

He was going on what people were telling him as a teenager...but he mad it clear then, and it is clear now that he had no interest. His own record of what he did speaks for itself.

They will do anything to bring him down...just like they did Herman Cain.

It is not about what you think or I think about Trump, the thread is about a national poll by FOX to determine who could benefit most if Carson departs the race.

I think Ben is a good guy but he doesn’t have what it takes to run the gauntlet. He is not destined to be president and he’s a total sucker for the media traps!

He thinks he can be smart, kind and reasonable and the media will agree with him or give him a fair shot and agree to disagree. But sadly, the leftist media doesn’t work like that. They have one mission, total destruction of non-left wing people.

So apparently those of you who want NO trade deals are screwed because no one is on your side.

Interesting post.

Rip up all trade deals and no new trade deals works best I think.

And of course it will never happen.

Be prepared for lots of more witch hunts. Primary season has barely begun.

I am shocked Media has not found headline stories disparaging Trump, yet!

The academies advertise full scholarships and when I spoke to the US Merchant Marine Academy in 1968 that is the language they used.

They are looking...but they are also split.

He brings them the biggest ratings ever and they want that...so they are apt to hold whatever they may find back IMHO.

No matter...the people who are supporting Trump know who and what he is...and they do not care. They want someone like him to go after the MSM and the political establishment.

Hehehe...and he will oblige them and then some.

Rubio certainly is the fair haired boy for the GOPe, since Jeb has fizzled.

I Stand With Ted and I hope Ted continues to defend his opponents from the lies of our true enemies: the Dims, the GOP-e and the Media PAC (or should that be “pack?”)
