Is It Time to Start Taking Ben Carson Seriously?

The latest polls show him ahead big in Iowa, 32% to Trump's 18%. Even if you toss that one as an over-good outlier, and also toss his worst performance (tied with Trump) as an over-bad one, an average of the other three polls puts him about 8 ahead of Trump, with room to grow.

And when I say "ahead of Trump" I mean "not even within shooting distance of anyone else."

Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton does the only thing she knows how to do: She accuses an opponent of being "sexist" for standing in her royal way.

While sparring over gun control during the CNN event in Las Vegas, Sanders said, "As a Senator from a rural state, what I can tell Secretary Clinton, that all the shouting in the world is not going to do what I would hope all of us want, and that is keep guns out of the hands of people who should not have those guns and end this horrible violence that we are seeing."

At the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner in Iowa over the weekend, Clinton told the audience of Dems that she's "been told to stop shouting about ending gun violence."
"Well, I haven't been shouting, but sometimes when a woman speaks out, some people think it's shouting," she said. "But I won't be silenced, and I hope you won't be either. How many more people have to die before we take action?"
...
Clinton’s characterization of sexism is "wrong," he stressed.

It's all she's got.

A student was disrupting class and wouldn't leave. Eventually a cop showed up to arrest her and she wouldn't get out of the seat. He tried to pull her out and a brief scuffle ensued.

6 I have begged, pleaded, cajoled, prayed for a non establishment candidate to save the party of stupid from itself. I just don't think he's the one to do it. While I respect much of what he says. I find his lack of leadership etc. a bit unnerving. Could I vote for him? Probably. I honestly though need to know more about him admittedly before I say 100%. I've already signed the no RINO pledge this time, so we'll see. I think Trump steps in it more every day and will start to sink.

12 I think Ben Carson is a serious man who is taking the job of running for President seriously. He satisfies 2 out of my 3 non-negotiables. He seems to be heading somewhat tentatively towards my third. I like him. I would like to hear more of his positions in regards to foreign policy.

This woman has been close to the levers of ultimate per for a good portion of her incompetent disaster of a life and keeps on whining about being a woman.

While most ordinary women just go about their lives accomplishing things without caterwauling about being poor old little powerless women. In the US of all places.

27 "he was squishy on guns"

People have been talking, especially after the Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan disaster, about how to reliably detect stealth liberals posing as bona fide red-blooded conservatives.

Really, it's not all that hard. A few simple rules of thumb.

The first of which is: a squish on gun rights? Watch out for this individual.

The needle on my stealth-liberal detector swung all the way to eleven when Mitt, the former staunch banner of guns with shoulder things that go up, suddenly became an NRA Life Member a few days before the 2012 primaries kicked off.

Iowa likes to hear so-con speeches and that's what Carson is giving. Iowa is certainly possible -- but then he needs the legs to make it thru the Southern primaries, and his ability to finance and work the local political structure seems iffy.

But he could keep the race from becoming a Trump/Anti-Trump two man race anytime soon.

We must continue to weaken the nation, to embarass our legacy, to lie cheat and steal, bury ourselves in debt, we must fight to make our nation the envy of all the minor minds in every mud hut in every corner of this great global community.
And finally, we must. WE MUST. Make ours a nation that welcomes any who wish to cross our fictional border, and bring with them the vestigal remains of the tyranny, mythology, and oppression that we so very much desire as our own.
Thank you.

Carson is...a nice guy. He doesn't have a real coherent philosophy. He's the pick of the evangelicals this time around. Santorum was last time. Carson may win Iowa. Nobody's going to go negative on him.

Carson's a neophyte, of course, but his first instinct is usually liberal. He's learning to do better but he is much more easily co-opted by the well-meaning Left than even Rubio, although he doesn't have a well-formed anti-conservative agenda like Trump or Jeb.

I do have to say...I saw Ben Carson in person at the Republican Presidential Forum here in Greenville, SC about a month or so ago,along with several other candidates. Believe it or not, he does have a very charming personality. He's witty. He's funny. I couldn't help but like the guy.

Maybe get with Snoop Doggy Dogg, brake out some hardware like a few AK-74's and a Nina, and hold a press conference where he calls the press a bunch of punk ass bitches and then does a few minutes of rap with the Dogg as to what he's gonna do when he's elected.

GW Bush was a good Man, and IMO led us down the wrong path... he would not allow us our RIGHTEOUS anger over 9/11... and thus nothing has really been done about the root problem...

We don't need a Good Man... we need an Asshole.

108 "I keep seeing reports of the cops being called in on students, even down

force and the instrumentalities of the state to solve minor problems."

I have in my social circle people who teach, or have taught, in public schools. Their stories are absolutely off the hook regarding what the typical public school looks like these days, and what the students, especially those from ethnic protected categories, will attempt.

You have to kinda figure that the Massachusetts school teacher who kept her underperforming disobedient problem kid after class and who ended up being beaten and raped and murdered by him would have been better off to call Officer Friendly to deal with the situation.

It's a vastly different nation and culture than when I was of school age. If you can still call the hot mess we've got here a "nation".

119 My concern is that Carson has only hospital politics political experience. Granted, that ain't beanbag, but I seriously wonder if that is sufficient to herd Congressional cats.

Successful presidents (e.g., Reagan, Eisenhower) deal with Congress to get their agendas passed. Unsuccessful presidents like Zero or Carter haven't the first clue about how to get their legislative agenda passed.

In Zero's case, he simply outsourced the ACA to Congress, which is why it is such an incoherent mess.

Posted by: Hurricane LaFawnduh at October 26, 2015 08:31 PM (q6eoi)

120 73 Don't caucuses usually require more organization than Carson is known for? Will he underperform because of that?

A lot of PACs working on his behalf.

Trump will get destroyed in Iowa. The caucus means going to a room and sitting there for three hours while the party functionaries talk about representatives to the county committee, etc., etc.

He'll get a much lower vote total than polls will be indicating. Though as December rolls around, the polls will start asking about how sure you are to attend the caucus.

I think you're seeing some of that now. The dive in Trump's poll numbers could have something to do with the likelihood of people to attend the caucus.

Yes. In large part it is because they are not regular elections by the states and people don't get the information automatically on where/when to caucus.

Even with organization, you can still loose.

In Nevada last time, Newt beat out Ron Paul despite Newt having no organization and Nevada being full of Ron Paul Cultists.

133 I like Dr Carson, but from his website, his positions on the issues are almost totally devoid of actual content. Other than "We need to do better!"-type exhortations, there's precious little of anything resembling a committed, actionable position. Trump only has three issues listed (last time I checked), but at least they have detailed positions outlined. Hill and Bernie's websites are interchangeable, of course.

172 Iowa is full of religious democrats that are hooked on welfare.

Iowa has gone to theDonks in 88, 92, 96, 00, 08 and 12.

Recent GOP candiadets who have won it are Huckabee and Santorum,

It's a bellwether for nothing.

Trump is going to be the GOP candidate.

That is unless he's stopped by GOP chicanery or experiences a sic semper tyranus moment from some GOPe or La Raza nut job.

Which is not outside of the realm of possibly seeing as our country is turning more and more into a fascist banana republic.

176 You all probably think I'm some kind of broken record on this debt ceiling crap, and I am, but I just heard something about Boner was going to do a clean sweep and given Weeper-in-Waiting Ryan a clean slate.

I figured they already had a deal done on the debt ceiling (I knew this when I read a story that they didn't have any deal, and Treasury was delaying a 2-yr auction. That was just the Kabuki Theater warm up). And that's what I'm hearing today.

A clean increase for two years. That is, raise it to cover expected borrowing for the next two fucking years, no concessions, no nothing, just a clean increase good until the end of 2017, into Hillary's first term.

People also said Reagan was unelectable as well so, that's hardly a disqualifier for Trump.

Who but Trump can carry the base and win significant number of non traditional GOP voters?

No, the most likely thing is a complete consolidation of federal power. She admires China's ruling party system more than any other political entity. She does not believe that States have rights and she has a long history of insisting there is absolutely no private right to ownership of firearms. The first thing Hillary! would do is to out-Leftist Barry by doing something completely stupid about the 2nd amendment.

269 I thought to myself: Ben Carson post eh? How many comments down until somebody posts "Trump/Carson '16 would be unstoppable!" Less than 20, of course. There's somebody in every one of these pushing that idea, repeatedly. I wonder who is pushing that idea, because I'm confident neither would choose the other if it came to that.

Maybe it's just some desire of the "outsiders revolt" fans to do what they fear from the establishment, unify their wing and rally around one option. But I don't think those two are appealing to the same flavor. Carson is winning the Huck/Santorum wing, the prize going to the candidate with wishy-washy views who Iowa believes loves Jesus the most. Trump is a different beast, they're in different factions, not one faction that can be united. And they aren't very complementary, that's a ticket that would get less than 200 electoral votes, perhaps far far less, and would have no clue how to govern if they somehow won. Like if Hillary had a stroke and fell off her walker the day before the election.

It's been my personal experience that when things go south, they go south in a hurry, like a mugging in a convenience store parking lot on your way to the car. You're thinking about work, wondering what's for dinner, trying to remember if you forgot what your wife told you to pick up, and then suddenly, without warning, you're deep in the shit, confronted by a trio of hard guys with bad intentions.

It'll be like that, I think.

408 I suggest we start calling Hilliary "The Vagina" (or a more colorful variation, if you prefer).

Why?

Because at the end of the day (as Ace points out), that's her only selling point. It;'s what she will ALWAYS rely upon.

Think about it - if she wanted to be treated like an actual person, we'd have to examine and consider things like her personality, her intelligence, her family, her past personal and professional history, list of accomplishments and failures, etc., etc. And she loses in everyone of those categories. I mean certain death. She has no real accomplishments other than gathering power and money for the purpose of gathering more power and money.

And in order to avoid any criticism, she turns to her first and most powerful trump card - her biological sex. "It's time for Hilliary (i.e. time for a woman as President" etc.). That is straight up sexism, with the the point being that her vagina is alone is powerful enough to heal the world.

We are going to learn more about the female anatomy in the next year than Hugh Hefner learned in his decades on the planet.

And if that's the case, if she herself is going to distill her strength down to her sex hole, then we should refer to her as her sex hole.

And that's a big reason why Carly is being marginalized by the media - if she were the Republican primary winner, Hilliary's main weapon is taken from her arsenal.

Trump is a horrible choice. But it was eleven on one in the republican

Understand the liberal media WANT IT TO BE TRUMP VS RINO.

They gave Trump more airtime. And make most questions about Trump.

Rubio was in a 5 minute interview this week. Every single question was 'Trump this, Trump that'. Good PR for Trump bad for other candidates to get their message out.

They deliberately sideline the conservatives - Cruz, Rand Paul and Walker got the least questions and airtime - and once when Cruz was interjecting they rolled right on ... while letting Fiorina blather on without stopping her.

Why? Simple - Trump's not a conservative but a cardboard cutout of one - rich, obnoxious, way politically incorrect. Easy to make it a GOP-e vs Trump race.

As Trump fades, *maybe* they will stop making Trump the subject of all their questions. It's getting tiresome and boring.
