Honestly, I poke around the internet and I have not been able to really establish who the voter base would be for Carson. I think he is a great guy and has some real accomplishments in the medical field.

What I have seen is that what looks to be a growing number of blacks are supporting Trump for the exact same reason that a growing number of whites and a slightly lesser amount of Hispanics are supporting him.

I don't know, who is supporting Carson. I "googled" and still could not answer the question. I am sure President Trump will have a position in his cabinet for Dr. Carson.

Hmm. This is opinion.

But I will indulge you. If this theory of yours is accurate, then Hillary Clinton is going to lose the nomination to Bernie Sanders.

Carson will never win the SC Primary. And for the GOP that pretty much means it's over.

Since the debates, voters are beginning to recognize the names of the other candidates and are paying attention to their statements and viewpoints. Support will gradually shift away from Trump to the others.
This is a reasonable, logical explanation based on very predictable past trends in presidential election cycles.

Which means, of course, it will be completely ignored or openly scorned on CD. LOL

Hillary is still far ahead of Sanders in the primary polls when they are done for the country rather than by individual state. A couple of states where he is focusing he is ahead. But nationwide, she is above. The Trump polls that are discussed above are also nationwide.

I hope no candidate makes a decision to give up their campaign based on a poll with a 6.5% (GOP) margin of error including the 1 percenters.

Speaking as a democrat, I'd be happy with either Trump or Carson myself!

We are basically gonna watch a repeat of 2012 where we see the Republican supporters pick a flavor of the week all throughout the primaries until they finally pick the one they really didn't want, but was a better option than any of the other idiots they paraded around.
