And, a reasonable analysis?
They are. Its working about as well as it did with Trump.
The REAL question is “Why aren’t CONSERVATIVES trying to take Ben Carson out? “
Because he seems to be doing a fine enough job on his own.
Perhaps because the GOPe supports Amnesty and TPP and Carson is right in there with them.
As Onyx pointed out, TPP is 5500 pages long and Carson was on board within 24 hours of its release.
Republicans (conservatives) rely on the public will
It's like the free market ... we rise and fall on our own merits
Why would we want to "take someone out" ?
Carson serves a purpose
Yeb, on the other hand .....
Several answers.
1. Why would republicans even WANT to take out Carson? He’s not screwing up too badly. Leave him alone.
2. Even if Repubs (GOP-e) WANTED to “take him out’ they are too stupid and incompetent. They wanted to take Trump put too. How’d that work out, hmmm?
3. Stupid question. Carson is serving a useful purpose and Yeb is losing points on a daily basis. This is why Repubs NEED Carson.
Because he’s for sale. Just ask the fake cancer cure people.
Why bother? He ain’t going anywhere.
He is a place holder.
He is there to push a narrative that he has this massive support base, that is supposedly tied or beating Trump in the polls.
His purpose is to erode Trump’s support by showing him “losing” to Carson. Their hope is that it fractures that Trump support as people will think it’s over for him and diffuse out to other canidates. Accomplishing that, the GOPe would has disposed of him as you see now in order to move Jeb through with no real opposition.
What happened is that Carson: Plan A hasn’t worked. Jeb tanked, and so they are making their move with Rubio (note all of the fawning stories about him). They need to now rid themselves of Carson and movie Rubio into that spot to get at Trump because it is all they have left.
my theory since i realized carson was really a favorite of the leftist gopes going way back. my guess that he was recruited from the dem party by the gope and gradually set up previous to this year. basically:
carson is the black jeb.
rubio is the hispanic jeb.
jeb is the white jeb.
they split up the clueless gop vote until all conservatives are taken out.
He gets them going to the point where they'll do just about anything to be free of him.
Carson's a sedative. Even people who don't like him just want to curl up some place and have a nap.
I remember when Pat Buchanan came in first in one of the early primaries, I think it was 1996, I heard a lib reporter say: "I like Pat, I really do, but we are gonna have to take him out." And they did. The GOPe didn't want Pat hanging around because they preferred the loser Dole. Come to think of it I think they really didn't want to disturb Clinton's second term.
All the GOPe has to do is sit back and let the gaggle of leftist hyenas do their work for them.
Things are different this time around. I can feel it in ma bones.
Thinking from the totalitarian thug left - only acceptable candidates have the right to run. Or even speak.
Why are some conservatives trying to take out Ben Carson using BS nonsense from the left instead of real criticisms from the right?
No need. He’ll take himself out though I hope it’s soon before he does even more damage to us.
Let each candidate expose their ideas and voting record if applicable, past writings, speeches and statements on the issues Americans care the most about (excluding phony "issues" media pose in collusion with the DNC to gin up fear mongering over which GOP is the "most scarey!")
In my opinion, the media only "exposes" candidates' supposed misstatements or suspected "actions" to "soften up" said candidate for Hillary!
He’s doing a good job of it himself.
Carson’s doing a GREAT job of taking himself out: announced he is pro-TTP to send the few remaining U.S. manufacturing jobs to Asia, wants two more kommie Senators and three more kommie House Reps from Puerto Rico plus have U.S. taxpayer pickup PRs billions of dollars of bankrupt socialism bonds, and now has announced his support of illegal immigration.
And all of that was just in the last two days!!! No one needs to lift a finger to nuke Carson just so long as he keeps giving speeches.
Carson for Pharaoh!
Carson: “I tried to stab my mother”
Media: “That’s not true!”
I’m confused about whether or not the media supports him or against him.
I can’t remember a campaign like this one.
That being said, I do like Ben Carson but I’m hoping Ted Cruz moves up to the top.
