First, while I think the polls are pretty accurate for primaries, I take anything in the general election with a grain of salt. Once there is a candidate established, generally the base solidifies.
Second, if you’re gonna play that game, in poll after poll CARSON does better against Hillary than anyone . . . so we should nominate him, right? Sorry. Try again.


No...I never said we should nominate anybody that we thought could win.

But that is the clarion call from Trump supporters...
Only he can beat the media
Only he can beat Hillary
Only he can pull Dems
Only he can get blue collar workers
he can get 25% African American voters

And in poll after poll that is not supported.

So my opinion is just as good as Trump supporters if you don’t have any numbers to back it up...

Trump can’t win because his negatives and favorables are so bad.
See how that works.

I think we’re missing the forest for the tree here. The reality is that the establishment (RNC, rinos, dems, media, etc.) don’t want Trump and will use any kind of disinformation and propaganda to TRY and make us believe the information is “real”. The truth is we don’t know what the truth is, however, we do know that the establishment is NOT happy with Trump and that should be all we need to know.

First, yes, Trump can win. Second, no you don't nominate someone just because he can win. But Trump can win. And in two polls in the South we see he had between 39 and 56% GOP black support.

Second, I've explained the "negatives" over and over. Someone with his high "negatives" could NEVER poll as high as he does. These aren't "negatives" like you see for Hillary. They are entertainment industry negatives like you see for a character. But, you won't believe that so think what you want.

And, no matter what you say, it is irrefutable that in almost all head-to-heads, Carson does best against Hillary . . . if you believe that element of the polls. I don't.
