A closer look would reveal that he is in favor of amnesty for fraudulently documented foreigners and their employers.

Amnesty is death to America

I think they think if they can get Carson over Trump he will have a good chance of winning the nomation...what they don’t understand we are smarter than they are...meaning the media, talking heads and GOPee...

For example, there was a post on here that say Carson beating Trump, but if you click on this link, it shows a ‘Ryan’ running at 3%...there is no Ryan running in this election....bad editing and liars all of them...should show you just how low they will go to prove a point...

Yes, Carson is in favor of Amnesty.

This is why I cannot support him. He has other great qualities; but Amnesty will destroy America.

And .. I have maintained for some time that Obama’s plan to bring 200,000 Syrian “refugees” is going to destroy our country .. or at least tear it apart and kill a lot of people.

Yep—Carson is Colin Powell with a medical degree.

Unfortunately.

I like how you talk about amnesty and the “refugees”. I have been learning everything I can about the problems of illegal immigration and Islam for years and I see them as national security threats in the short run and in the long run. I like how Donald Trump talks because he is not afraid to take on sensitive issues because the sensitive issues are the very ones that we have to address. We have to be grown ups and take on difficult issues head on.

Do you think this Time article is an effort to prop up Carson against Trump?

Has he said anything defending the Second Amendment yet?

FWIW, Carson has changed his tune on the Second Amendment. Here’s an interview from Iowa from a day or two ago:

I’ve always said Carson is the conservative version of affirmative action. No white doctor with his resume would be taken seriously as a presidential candidate. But the kicker for me is when he said he would not have sent the military into Afghanistan after 9/11. Anyone who would not use the military to go after people who killed 3,000 Americans on US soil should not considered for commander in chief, period.

Yes, I do. And .. they will take Carson as President .. and link him up with Rubio - the other very “amnesty” person.

However, I think they short-change the Doctor’s intelligence level .. and I’m not so sure they will be able to fool him into believing that enough Americans really want amnesty; especially now that the refugees have been linked to Syrian Islamists.

Well, I wouldn’t go that far.

I believe Dr. Carson is waaaaaaaay more intelligent than Colin Powell.

Time and all other liberal outlets and media will do everything they can to bring Trump DOWN. He is the only candidate who says clearly, ILLEGAL immigrants must go.

The establishment on both sides have differing reasons, but they want amnesty.

If they can’t get their guy Jeb they will go for someone who they think is malleable such as Carson or Rubio then they will surround him with their people who will present a distorted view of the issues and the president whether it be Carson or Rubio will be nothing more than a establishment sock puppet.

This is why we need Trump he is strong willed and pragmatic.

That’s true—but he’s just as much the bleeding heart liberal in too many ways.

Yep, I agree.

Did you see the message yesterday regarding the prayer vigil held in Trump Towers. Trump was there and some notables like Kenneth Copeland and David Jeremiah were there with 40 others, and they were all praying over Trump.

I’ll tell you .. this is going to cement Trump with the Christians .. at least that’s what I’m hoping.

And .. Dr. Jeremiah has a church about 20 miles from me in CA; I’ve been there to special events. I read his books; and I found out that when Dr. Jeremiah was in NYC in 2013, Trump attended Jeremiah’s event. So, I’m guessing .. but that could have been when the seed was planted for Trump to run.
