Trump and Carson ahead of field...

If you’ve been campaigning for months and rank below “wouldn’t vote” or “Undecided” it’s time to pack it in.
I love it when the Chamber of Commerce burns their money : )
Bingo. Check out West Palm beach Coincidencs??
“Carly seems to be fizzling out.”
I suppose her statement that she would have voted for Sotomayor didn’t help her campaign.
I know. What happened? She was everywhere for awhile, getting interviews, being quoted and suddenly, nowhere.
I don’t like her. I don’t miss her.
Hmmmm?????
Has she served the extent of usefulness?
Maggie can you check out the location of the Carson Home in West Palm Beach and the relationship to the Trump properties and golf course ?
dr Ben said Trump “was just another guy in the .....area”. I was thinking NYC and Maryland. Should have looked into Flodida
You wouldn’t think the overly religious would go for Carson at all. Carson is a Seventh Day Adventist. That’s a group that is considered a cult because they misrepresent who Jesus is and they add a lot of legalism to the salvation message making it a salvation by works.
He gets support from people who don’t like Trump but don’t want another Bush.
And, as others have noted, they tend to be people who aren’t real interested in policy or political “inside baseball”, they don’t like politicians, they just want someone they think they can trust.
In other words, the kind of people who Trump attracts, but who don’t like Trump, go for Carson. Even so, I suspect that most of Carson’s supporters will go to Trump if he bows out.
I’d criticize them. Carson is terrible on policy, especially on immigration, and has no chance in the general. He has no broad support.
I think that's wrong, unless you're speaking generally. Trump leads with every demographic, very conservative, not so conservative, moderates, liberals, the young, African Americans and Hispanics-- except the elderly and very religious segment.
This is the Church Lady vote.
Carson’s campaign spends their donor money like a drunk sailor. His burn rate might hit 70% in his 3rd quarter reporting which means he raised $20 million but only netted $6 million after expenses. We’ll know in 2 days.
This is true, but these people are very surface level. I've been pissed at them them since the Romney fiasco when I first noticed how silly they were!
What’s he spending money on exactly? Unaware of any ads he’s running.
Lol!
Wrecked!
Trump attracts people who are tired or mistrustful of politicians. Carson is drawing from that same crowd. Yes, people who don’t like Trump’s apparent lack of religiosity will go Carson, but once he withdraws, Trump will be their guy.
I keep telling them Cruz should be their guy, but in this group he simply isn’t yet on their radar. My extended family is overwhelmingly supportive of Trump, and their second choice is Carson. Thats why I say, they draw from the same demographic because in my neck of the woods they literally are the same demographic. The Trump supporters see Carson as their number two, and the Carson supporters see Trump as their number two.
Thank you for the ping and your very welcome ;>)
$775k vs. $300m, (est.).
It’s the Morgan Freeman vote. People couldn’t tell you a damn thing about what Freeman believes in, his politics, even his movies besides maybe Bruce Almighty and Driving Miss Daisy, but everyone thinks he’s a nice man, a grandfatherly figure, etc etc. Same with Carson. He just seems like a nice guy. I went to USAFA with a bunch of the bible types. Real different perspective on life. It’s unreal some of the things that offend them and the relative moral superiority invoked in certain situations.
