With less than 100 days before the 2016 Iowa Caucuses, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson has surged to a lead over real estate mogul Donald Trump and the rest of the field. Trump stands in second, while Florida Senator Marco Rubio is in third place and is the only other candidate with double-digit support as a first choice candidate.
Dr. Carson has connected with Iowa Republicans. His stock started to rise late in the summer, and this positive trajectory has continued to this point. Iowa has a new frontrunner, said Associate Professor of Politics and Director of the Loras College Poll, Christopher Budzisz, Ph.D. Over the past week or so, Dr. Carsons campaign has been officially suspended as he pursues his book tour, but given his tour took him to several places in Iowa, he remained front and center for Iowa Republicans.

Thank you for adding that extra layer of detail. So counting 2012, Iowa picked the eventual nominee exactly 28.6% of the time and, in both cases, said nominee went on to lose in November. Real bellweather, eh?
I’ve read his quotes and words. You are the one being duped.
On the 2nd amendment....
“I think if you live int eh midst of a lot of people, and I’m afraid that that semi-automatic weapon is going to fall into the hands of a crazy person, I would rather you not have it.”
On illegals...
Carson said the country must provide them a way so that they dont have to hide in the shadows and give them an opportunity to become guest-workersthey have to register, they have to enroll in a back tax program.
Bert....are you going to help Dr. Ben to collect the Halloween candy from the kiddies for the Syrian refugees? Ha ha! Just wondering if you still stand by “he will be an excellent President” comment?
Just messing with you. Ha ha!
