They HAVE to destroy Carson, and to a lesser extent Trump.
The Democrats rely on getting about 23 million Black votes in a Presidential Election. If Carson, or Trump, peal 10% of those votes away, the Democrats cannot win.
Getting a portion of the Black population listening to a Carson, or a populist like Trump, and the Democrat party is dead.
What’s more likely is the enthusiasm factor will fade severely within the black community costing them big time. Besides there is only so much free Crack to go around at election time.
The media was only promoting Carson to block Trump’s rise, much like CNN adding an 11th debate spot, I think they just messed up their latest strategy...
