The natural inclination for the democrat/communist propaganda complex will be to try to egg them on into a fight with each other. If Trump does this, he can expect the media to play the race card, even if Carson doesn’t.
I like Carson and what he says, but i just don’t see the toughness necessary to go eyeball to eyeball with Vlad Putin, the chicoms, the NORKs, or some raghead muzzie.
It's a way for you to park your vote with a guy who, like Trump, is a non politician. If Ben Carson wasn't in this race, we'd see Carly with much better numbers.
Not really. They appeal to very different groups of people.
My issues with Carson are:
- he is squishy on the Second Amendment
- he is anti-liberty on vaccines
- he claims to be pro-life but apparently used to refer certain patients to abortionists.
Not to dispute that he is a brilliant man.
Did he say something really really interesting?
I mean, I like the doctor but c'mon.
Now we see the new strategy coming into view.
Rove and surrogates have identified that polls have helped shape Trump’s aura of invincibility. Therefore, a launch of paid/push polls showing Trump is vulnerable might deflate his balloon.
They are testing the waters with this a trial balloon.
Wonder how Donald’s people will react.
Oh, for cryin out loud.
I didn’t realize being a journalist was so damn easy.
Identify a shift in whatever, give your moron opinion.
Ben Carson is being used by the MSM as a tool to attack Donald Trump.
None of the MSM people like or agree with Dr. Carson. They hate him and all that he stands for. But they will use him for their purposes.
Trump just has to say, Look I like Ben Carson. He’s a great doctor and a wise man. He’s probably a better man then me. But we’re in a fight for our country right now and we don’t need a nice guy. We need a warrior.
It would not surprise me if Trump’s intention was to be challenged, give candidates with mettle a chance to break free of the GOPe.
Trump trumps Carson.
Trump, Carson, Cruz, who cares. 14 months to go. The real news is the RINOs are sinking like bricks.
Not really.
Trump will just pour in money and people in the end. Polls for Iowa are not polling for a primary, and most people are not going to be in a caucus. So they are pretty useless for much of anything.
Carson is just the “generic candidate” safe choice like Scott Walker was for the people that aren’t ok with supporting Trump.
Neither are going after each other, so they will stay cool.
The rich elites are trying to separate the religious right from Trump.
I think they are faking the polls.
Carson IS a gun grabber. He IS a GUN GRABBER..
Being a gun grabbers exemplifies a VERY FUNDAMENTAL lack of the very BASICS of the US constitution.
I think it’s very well time to move beyond race-based politics.
Good man, yeah. Presidential?, fnck no!!!
Nothing against Carson but I do not see how or where he got 23 percent in any poll.
Carson is a good guy and I think he would make a great President, but I think Trump is better suited and has better issues. That said, I suspect that Carson’s jump in polls is temporary and probably doesn’t reflect all of the new voters Trump is bringing in. I’ve not even heard any buzz about him anywhere except for a vague positive impression of him. That makes me think that his polling is based on that positive impression. Trump’s is far stronger.
Its just one poll FCOL. sheesh— lets not get carried away.
