Forgot to mention this: if you combine 1st choice and 2nd choice, Carson and Trump are tied at 32.
I have some Carson types in my family who were also all-in for Santorum. I absolutely do not get it. But they’re big-city-dwelling Evangelicals, maybe they have some racial harmony dream I don’t know about.
Carson’s a fantastic guy, and should be in the cabinet, but POTUS? He’s a Dr, for God’s sake’s, not a pool guy!
