Donald Trump may draw a crowd of 20,000 in Alabama (a solid showing even as he underwhelmed his own estimate of 36,000),

Stopped reading right there. 31,000 were confirmed in Alabama and that was only counting those in the stadium.

As for Carson, I like the guy and I think he's a great asset to our side. However, I also suspect that many future Trump supporters are parking their vote with him right now. They want to be on record as supporting a non-politician but not ready to come out for Trump publicly.

Looks for the Carson vote to gradually move to the Trump column as we move on.

But that said, good for Carson. I'm glad to see him doing well and a vote of him is still a vote against Jebbie and the GOPe.

Prolly my frustrated whiteness but Carson has a “en Espanol” section on his For President site. So does Cruz. Trump does not.

I recently learned that if a candidate doesn’t win a majority (not a plurality) in at least 8 states the GOPe rules say his name won’t be placed into nomination on the convention floor. That was done to prevent a bunch of conservatives from pooling their delegates and ensure the GOPe candidate gets in. If nobody gets a majority in 8 states, the GOPe delegates get to decide who is placed into nomination for a vote. It’s crucial that conservatives rally around the candidate with the best chance to actually get a majority, or the GOPe will ignore the voters and pick their guy. Right now, the only guy with a chance is Trump. Unless there’s some major change Carson and Cruz need to drop out throw their support behind Trump, or we’re going to end up with Jeb or Mario.

Slowly but surely black conservatives are comming forth accepting the reality that Obama created this hyphenation of Americans using race for his own political purposes. Which I’ve been posting here in FR’s for years was employed as a political tactic to defer any constitutional questioning action of the 1st branch by the 2nd branch of government.

Here is what they’re saying

The sad part is we do have a black candidate now in second place in current polling running for POTUS who has yet to speakout on this matter. Until he will he does not deserve consideration to be our POTUS

Carson is OK, but Trump would be better as far as getting things done. The article seems just as much a “make up fibs about Trump with false statistics” as it is a pro-Carson deal.
