Americans are very trusting people, which is good and bad and unfortunately there are those who would exploit that. So yes, some would do it. In the hubbub, not everyone thinks rationally until after the fact. Sad, but true.
And unfortunately, whether there were nefarious intentions or not, this looks really bad and combined with other unfortunate situations, I don’t see how Ted’s image of trustworthiness is not damaged, and possibly irreparably damaged.
I think I have a higher opinion of Iowa conservative voters than some. Voters motivated enough to attend the Caucuses do not seem like the type to be led around like sheep. Dr. Carson outperformed his average poll numbers by about 2%.
What did you think of it when Trump railed about Carson being a psychopath with homicidal tendencies which drove Carson’s numbers down in Iowa from about 30 to 9%?
