“If I didn’t know better, I’d suspect that The Establishment is putting him up to this, so as to take a piece of meat off of Trump.
But then what do I know?”
A lot. I don’t think the GOPe put him up to it. I think Dr. Carson, being a very smart man, came up with this issue all on his own. He knew he was going down in the polls, and that Carly’s star was rising; in some polls she moved into 2nd place after Trump, and Gentle Ben sunk down into 3rd place. He was undoubtedly afraid his fundraising would drop also.
So, how to get back into the spotlight? He took a page out of Donald Trump’s playbook, and said something outrageous enough to draw the attention back to himself in the MSM, get the Dem socialists all bent out of shape, change the subject of his drop in the polls to something else, and made sure that what he said would appeal to his base, in particular the religious part of the base.
Kudo’s to the Doctor; it worked like a charm. He’ll go back up in the polls, he is getting lots of new money injected into his campaign fund, and Carly’s 15 minutes of fame in 2nd place will rapidly come to an end. Mission accomplished.
Trump will still beat the pants off of both of them, Ben and Carly. And all of the rest of the Pub candidates as well.
I agree.
With the end results I do agree, but I’m not sure Carson calculated that much.
He may have. I’m just not convinced of it.
