Agree with you entirely. I am baffled by some of the accolades Carson garners. Yesterday a poster said Carson’s strong suit is “ethical conservatism.” I asked for examples. Crickets. For a guy who has such fierce defenders, Carson seems remarkably thin in the ‘ethical conservative leadership’ department.
I wonder how deep or committed Ben’s actual support is. For all the debate polls such as Drudge and Time, Ben does very poorly. Understanding full well these are not scientific, nonetheless, nobody votes for Ben. By contrast, Trump supporters are out there in every online poll voting in large numbers. So at minimum, there is a core level of Trump supporters that will most likely vote for him in the primaries. Perhaps Carson’s supporters are older, less technology dependent or just don’t care about online polls, but his lack of support there is instructive as well. But just maybe, there really isn’t any support for Ben besides agreeing that he seems like a nice guy and a good way to answer a poll question.
