But Cruz hasn’t got the most important thing, a black skin. Most of those holding tight to Carson are only doing it because he’s black, and they are so desperate to vote for a black man that they don’t even care that Carson has aligned himself with Sharpton, wants strict gun control, and is in favor of some form of amnesty.
Or it is a sort of Bradley effect. Also, I think it likely a lot Carson supporters are really Trump supporters but don’t want to say so because being a Trump supporter is sort of low brow.
