I think Carson’s numbers will continue to trend down from here, as will Rubio’s.
All due respect, but I think Carson is going to remain strong. Not because he’s a good candidate. He’s a strong man of conviction, but I agree he’s not exactly conservative. That said, however, he’ll stay strong because of his race.
For some reason, Americans have this “white guilt” going on that saw us elect Obeyme not once but TWICE. I’ve seen it in my own grandfather who said that I didn’t understand because “[I] didn’t live through the civil rights era.” Okay, fair enough pop pop, but King said we should judge on the content of character, not on race. Obama’s an evil man, through and through, race be damned. Carson is a great man who’s overcome adversity throughout his life, but that doesn’t make him a good candidate for the presidency.
White America needs to stop feeling guilty for blacks. The rest of the world looks at us like we’re a bunch of backwoods yokels because we treat blacks “different.” This is the only first-world nation on the planet that gives blacks special dispensation. It’s time they stand on their own and prove to us that they’re in this with us, not despite us!
There will be a major Establishment candidate and I expect that to be Rubio—so I think we’ve yet to see anything near his peak.
I am shocked Carson is still polling above single digits.
Good prediction about Carson, except Rubio is likely to find himself buoyed by the GOP-elite with good press and the low-information-Republican-voters.
The next step, if that’s the final three, Cruz (or Trump) may find himself dividing the anti-GOP-elite, and that will be interesting.
I agree about Carson, but I think Rubio is the GOPe go-to guy now.
Watch for his poll numbers to rise as they quit gaming Carson’s numbers.
What other choice do they have?
