Ben Carson is likely benefiting from potential Trump supporters who aren't ready to come out of the closet yet.

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.

The good news is the leading candidates on our side are ones that don’t have law degrees!

I think that’s some of it. But it’s also clear he is taking support from Yeb and Marco and Walker. But I agree, if it’s Trump vs. Walker or Trump vs. Yeb or Marco, almost all of Carson’s votes go to Trump. He will clearly be there through some of the early primaries, and it will be a bargaining chip for an administration spot.

I doubt it about Carly. She is a McCain shill.She worked in his campaign.

Carson has always been in the top 3 with every person I’ve ever talked to (including Dems as I talk to far more Ds than Rs due to where I hang.)

So some of those who previously had Santorum, Perry, Huckabee, Paul, Walker, etal as #1 have now made their #2 the #1. Walker, especially, has seen his support go to Carson.

Carson supporters contrast the use of a scalpel on the Cartel vs use of a bludgeon.
