Narciss posted:Did it ever occur to you that maybe most Republican voters aren't racists and their support for Carson isn't some sort of cynical raceplay? I don't like the guy's politics, and I hope he doesn't become President, but this "Cain/Carson is just there to drown out the dogwhistling" stuff gets old. It takes away their agency as legitimate candidates. Are you going to be saying the same thing about Kanye in 4 years

Yea. Carson has enjoyed not being in the spotlight. I think he'd have real problems if he was more clearly a frontrunner. Which, based on polling, he should be. However, with the clown car and Trump, he's not getting a lot of visibility.

EugeneJ posted:http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2015/09/2016-general-election-match-ups-close.html goddamn i love polls - In a three-way race, it's Hillary 42, Jeb 23, Trump 27 - 43/33/23 Dem/Rep/Ind representation, that's a high number of self-reporting Democrats - Did they not do a ranked list of GOP candidates? It all seems to be head-to-head polling.

There was his comment about drone strikes as well. One of his problems is that he blames the media for misunderstanding him perfectly.

Carson has enjoyed not being in the spotlight. yeah, like i think trump will just sit at the top while everyone else does the whole rollercoaster thing for a while, eventually landing on an establishment candidate or trump. the second carson has to actually do anything that people see hes going to fall because he's pretty bumbly. that said, if he got someone to help him on his speaking skills/issues he could hold a while? but i dont think hell do that.

I think that a lot of people who have views that are clearly based on racial prejudice will support Carson as a candidate. Because he is one of the good ones.

Almost NONE of Carson's supporters give a poo poo that he's black. They like that he's self-made, nice, Christian, and not-GOP establishment, and not Trump.
