And playing the DemTard card as the faux victim.

Now this is certainly not scientific, not so by any meaning of the word, BUT, I spent the morning with a friend at Togus VA hospital in Maine.

Each time he went in for test, monsanto didn’t get him in Nam but they sure are still trying, anyhow each time he went in for a test, I would chat with the other older vets stitting waiting to be called.

The conversations all were about Trump. Not one of the vets said they were supporting Ben Carson. Not One. Every last one I talked to was supporting Donald Trump.

I talked to probably twenty guys.

With a MOE of 6 on such a tiny sample, Trump’s lead could still, according to the results of this poll, be as large as 16 points—which is close to what other, larger polls are showing.

With this being the New York Slimes who dump on Trump with hate on a daily basis month after month, it doesn't take much to skew polls they want to hear and the Establishment.

However, something about the recent Carson polls do not ring true when one compares the recent news and political events to the change in Carson’s support.

Yeah, it's totally hinky. Carson may have come across as the gentle nice guy during the first debate, but anyone taking a closer look would see he's pretty clueless as far as real world experience. That lack of knowledge is reflected, IMHO, by some of his more liberal ideas.

For the past two months Donald Trump has received billions of dollars of free advertising time from every aspect of the media to promote his candidacy.

If a company like Coca-Cola, for example, had been given such an extraordinary advertising bonanza to promote Coca-Cola as the cure for every ill in America, as Donald Trump has been doing for himself, does anyone doubt that Coca-Cola would be flying off the shelves and people would be waiting in supermarket parking lots to cheer on the arrival of new Coca-Cola supplies?

Yet after two months of unprecedented self-promotional media opportunities for Donald Trump to sell his candidacy, he’s only receiving 27% support in Republican polls.

Meanwhile, another candidate, Ben Carson, who has received almost no free advertising time in the media, is neck and neck with Donald Trump.

Every Republican who has not been in a coma for the past two months knows who Donald Trump is and whether they like him enough to support his candidacy, and the vast majority — 73% — do not.

Now it’s time for others to come in and give their opinions, and, hopefully, William Kristal’s tiny moment in the spotlight that the media has allowed him between hours of Donald Trump coverage will result in many new subscriptions to ‘’The Weekly Standard’’ from those who share his views.

I do not believe the poll. If you hear Ben Carson talk you will soon fall asleep. He is another who wants millions of illegals to take your job or lower your wages. He is a plant used to siphon off votes.

Who is pushing Carson, he doesn’t have a shot at winning anything!

Ping me when Carson fills an arena.

The difference is that these polls are of the narrower population of "Republican Primary Voters," but the arenas are filled with crossover general election voters.

well we know one fact with certainty....... you are wrong

I heard him speak to an overflow crowd from the stage of a Forbes 400 company in February. The company is a-political except they recognized in Dr Ben the traits that would make a good president

He told stories, great stories..... he told of living in the roach infested Deeetroit projects. he said it was necessary to be very careful at breakfast with the raisin bran. you had to check to be sure the raisins were not roaches. that was his background point

then he said he shouldn’t tell that story because his colleagues on the Kellogg board might not appreciate it. that was his current status point

he definitely has strong support in high places

Then there is me..... I’ve heard him he will make a great president

I agree, there appears to be BIG money promoting him.

I am sure he is an amazing man, he just isn’t going to be President.
