Real estate magnate Trump has spent weeks dominating the Republican field, and has emerged as a credible White House candidate for many voters in Iowa, the first crucible of the 2016 nominating contest.
But with Carson’s stellar showing in a series of recent polls in Iowa and nationwide, and another survey showing Senator Bernie Sanders nipping at Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton’s heels, the second-place candidates are exhibiting considerable power on the campaign trail.

Gee whiz, they’re just coming out and admitting it now.
I don’t think so.
Carson is not a bad guy, but they’re clearly pushing him to bring down Trump.
Not going to work though.
As much as I think Dr. Carson is a good man and I respect him greatly, we need a tough SOB businessman who knows who to negotiate and run an organization to turn this Country around. The bureaucracy will eat Dr. Carson alive.
The GOPE Business Insider is terrified of Trump.
Racist ! ^_^
Unless it’s Operation Chaos in reverse I dont think so. I like Carson but he’s not enough of a tough guy to be CEO of the US.
Good guy.....but so obvious what they’re doing
LOL
I agree, Carson is a bit too detached from the “down in the gutter” we need. Plus, his lack of clarity on the 2nd Amendment is a drawback.
Dr. Carson is nice guy but as Richard Nixon once pointed out you don’t want a Boy Scout as your President.
Trump is no Boy Scout and right now we need tough not meek.
Wishful thinking of GOPers-— grabbing at straws. But thats not Dr Ben’s fault.
Stopping Trump is now the objective,,not winning the election? What has Trump done to harm the USA?
I think Cruz would have much to say about this. I think, in the overall scheme of things, Iowa is only area enamored with Dr. Carson.
Don’t get me wrong; I think the world of the guy as an individual. But as President?
John Philip Sousa IV must be happy to see these articles touting his guy.
I agree, he’s a good man. Hoping for Cruz myself.
He is being used as a ‘tool’, a ‘splitter’. He may or may not know it but that’s all he is. Don’t think so? Who’s financing him? If for some reason Trump is knocked out early, Bush’s money backers will CRUSH every other opponent in this primary. Not to say Bush will necessarily be the nominee, but an approved ESTABLISHMENT controlled candidate will be and that isn’t Carson, Walker, or Cruz.
Ben Carson is an honorable man but I seriously doubt he has the inner meanness to handle a Hillery or Biden. We would be sunk
