All told, among registered voters, 33 percent of Republicans and GOP-leaning independents now favor Trump for the nomination, with 20 percent for Carson – up 9 and 14 percentage points, respectively, since July. Jeb Bush has crumpled to 8 percent, down from a field-leading 21 percent in March and his first single-digit result in ABC/Post polls this cycle. Among others, Scott Walker’s tumbled to 2 percent, down 11 points since midsummer.

Carson ‘t attacked Trump. Trump is a counter-puncher, so he hasn’t gone hard after Carson. If Carson lays into Trump, look for Trump to hit back. It’s just the way Trump has always operated.
But this isn’t about Trump, so if you are opposed to him, stop making him the central focus of every discussion.
This is about Carson. People want an outsider to take on Washington. When an attractive outsider shows up, people imbue him with their own ideas. When the outsider starts to speak up and define himself, a lot of people become disenchanted.
I think Carson will start disenchanting a lot of his supporters at the debate.
The only place Carson is close to Trump is Iowa. The rest of the polls have Trump double digit over whoever is #2, heck for that matter, his lead is larger than if you combine most of the rest of the candidates. You’re buying the hype of the media at this point that says “Carson is surging” and “Fiorina is surging”...surging from what? Where they’ve pretty much been all along with the exception of Carson in Iowa of late. Look for more “_____ (fill in the blank) is surging” after this debate and every week thereafter.
“Carley might appeal to FemNazis, but they’re mostly not Republican”.
Fiorina’s big money pact campaign ad rebutting Trump’s off-the-cuff remark about her looks could be something straight from the Democrat National Committee, just replace Fiorina with Hillary.
“We are women”.

She took it right back to Trump. And she is refusing to ask for an apology. She handled Trump perfectly. This tells Trump not to mess with her. Well done Fiorina.
Now back to supporting Cruz.
“He’s buying in to at least some of the worst premises of the Black Lives Mater terrorist movement. For example, he said he thought George Zimmerman was guilty of manslaughter and that officer Daren Wilson could have avoided killing Michael Brown when, in fact, there was no alternative”
Do not forget he was a liberal democrat till well into his 30s. He claims he became a Republican when Reagan was elected, but got mad at the party in the 90s for the way Bill Clinton was being treated and became an “independent”, then a few months ago he switched back to republican.
I personally think Carson votes democrat. Old habits die hard and his positions are very liberal, from race relations to immigration to abortion. Not a man to be trusted. His rise in the polls make no sense whatsoever, especially if someone does a little research on him.
Fiorina for years has sat on liberal Foundations that support abortion all over the world. To hell with this closet liberal, voted the “worst CEO in American history”. As CEO of HP she broke the law by doing business with Iran and should have been sent to prison.
Are Carson supporters, “Trump is my second choice” voters.
Carson is a paid vote splitter. Politics as usual.
Rove was using the old formulas. He and others on MSNBC are pushing the Trump is not a “presentable president”
MSNBC was pushing a “internet ceo who shall stay nameless because his company skims all references to his name” as the anti-Trump billionare.
Thanks for giving me even more reasons for opposing Carson.
