Carson's ex-campaign manager: Hard to see how Trump doesn't become nominee

The former campaign manager for Ben Carson said Wednesday that it is becoming "harder and harder to see" how Donald Trump does not win the Republican presidential nomination.

During an interview with CNN, Barry Bennett, who worked for the retired neurosurgeon's campaign as recently as last Thursday, expressed skepticism that his former boss' efforts could make a dent, particularly in Iowa.

"We've spent a lot of money on data in the Carson campaign, and we've got a lot of targets out there, and getting them out to vote, that’s going to be critical. But that's just Iowa. Then we move to New Hampshire, and then South Carolina and then Nevada caucuses" and Super Tuesday after that, he said, remarking that "this thing could be well over" by the middle of March.

"And at this point, it's getting harder and harder to see how Donald Trump isn’t our nominee," Bennett said.

“it is becoming “harder and harder to see” how Donald Trump does not win the Republican presidential nomination.”

I appreciate his honesty.

I agree and a wrecking ball is just what we need.

Hard to see?

Don’t start counting them chickens yet. He’s going to lose Iowa. And if that starts a trend, then ....

Bye bye Trump.

I, for one, am just happy that we've some good choices on the Republican ticket this time around. Either Trump or Cruz would be excellent choices, and there are others who would be adequate.

Even better, all of the RINO squishes - Bush, Kasich, Christie, among them - are in a race to see who'll drop out first. Good riddance to all of them, if I wanted to vote for Democrats, I'd vote the (D) ticket.

Well, I don't know many people in the Hispanic community. However, those that I know would be thrilled to get rid of illegals. They're tired of being painted with the same brush, but they're more mad that they followed the rules and illegals are "shoving to the front of the line".

For instance, a friend's wife is legal, from Columbia. The topic came up over lunch one day. Friend said "Aw, $#!!", because his wife was off to the races. She let me know what she thought, in vivid detail, and in no uncertain terms.

Spanish is a great language for invective. :-)

Unless somehow the fix really is in for Jeb.

How?
Easy.
Big time CHEATING.
Political ASSINATION.

Take your pick.

Hours before the Iowa caucuses open the msm polls will start trending towards Trump maybe by 5-10%. The msm has to save face and will give more accurate polling. This is all baked in.

Funniest thing I’ve seen today.
