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.
Rubio’s support of amnesty finished him off.
Or maybe it will be more like a Rumba or cha-cha-cha.
Plausible, maybe even likely.
I think your analysis is astute.
I refuse to engage in all the hyenas attacking Carson but I think you’ve called it accurately.
#19, excellent analysis.
Yes you are correct.
Carson is getting help from left wing pollster who are trying to care out the weakest option to run against Hillary .
Meet the Dem operative who runs Monmouth propaganda polls .
Read his tweets in this link.
This guy running Monmouth propaganda polls is very dangerous and doing only AGENDA POLLING .
He is the guy who created the way to jack up Carson polls by oversampling got Evanglical voters in IA and now SC .
He cooked up a new SC poll with 2/3 only hard core evangelicals which gave him the poll he wanted !
Good analysis. They’ve also thrown Fiorina at Trump, but she didn’t last nearly as long as Carson has.
Let’s hope they are not successful.
