What do you think will this help or hurt?

Just like that wacko (yes I called someone a name)  Kim Davis-now that he has found God, all will be forgiven for past sins by the Evangilicals. Again, God keeps getting lost

Carson is a certified "wacko." What is it about the GOP that attracts so many right wing wackos? I'm thoroughly disgusted in the statments Carson made in his interview with Chuck Todd re abortion.......he'd love to see Roe v Wade overturned with no exceptions. He is what I would call a "monster."  My body, my damn business!

I agree Campbell..I watched that interview and couldn't believe that he was actually saying that.....and he's supposed to be a doctor???? a wacko is right!
 

LOLOL

can't find it but this one made me giggle Today, a Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics poll offers very similar results, with Carson leading Trump in the Hawkeye State, 28% to 19%. In August, the same poll showed Trump up by five. But this line in the DMR’s report on the poll results stood out for me:
[quote888]Even Carson’s most controversial comments – about Muslims, Hitler and slavery – are attractive to likely Republican caucusgoers.[/quote888]
This isn’t a conclusion drawn through inference; the poll actually asked Iowa Republicans for their thoughts on some of Carson’s … shall we say … eccentricities. The poll told GOP respondents, “I’m going to mention some things people have said about Ben Carson. Regardless of whether you support him for president, please tell me for each if this is something that you find very attractive about him, mostly attractive, mostly unattractive, or very unattractive.” If we combine “very attractive” and “mostly attractive” responses, these are Iowa Republicans’ positive feelings about Ben Carson: 1. “He is not a career politician”: 85%2. “He has no experience in foreign policy”: 42%3. “He was highly successful as a neurosurgeon”: 88%4. “He has said the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, is the worst thing since slavery”: 81%5.  ”He has an inspirational personal story”: 85%6. “He has raised questions about whether a Muslim should ever be president of the United States”: 73%7. “He has said he would be guided by his faith in God”: 89%8. “He has said that Hitler might not have been as successful if the people had been armed”: 77%9. “He approaches issues with common sense”: 96%10. “He has conducted research on tissue from aborted fetuses”: 31% In case it’s not obvious, pay particular attention to numbers 4, 6, and 8. For many political observers, one of the questions surrounding Carson’s candidacy for months has been how he intends to overcome some of the ridiculous rhetoric about his off-the-wall beliefs. But this badly misses the point – Iowa Republicans like and agree with Carson’s ridiculous rhetoric about his off-the-wall beliefs.

I guess Trump isn't incompetent and crazy enough for Iowans since Carson has now taken the lead. Well, if they want "wacko," they have their man. Who the heck would vote for such a looney tune?

now you know Trump said the poles was wrong and the new paper was a nobody paper lol

I think it is sinking in for Trump. 3 separate polls now show Carson with more than 10 points on him in Iowa. Today he said he "can't quite understand" the new numbers. 

I don't envy Republican voters. Right now it's a choice between Richie Rich and a guy who thinks dinosaurs roamed the earth 6000 years ago. Cuckoo for cocoa puffs.
