Not a shocker, but the Left hates Carson.
Because despite being raised in a broken home by a divorced mother, he left the welfare plantation.....forever.
He got his BS at Yale, his MD at U.M. medical school, and completed his neurosurgery residency at John Hopkins. At age 33, he became the youngest major division director in John Hopkin's history, as director of pediatric neurosurgery.

In short: Ben Carson is everything the socialist racist bigoted left hates in self-sufficent and successful American blacks. They seek to destroy him.

the real issue is who gets the nomination on the libtard side. I could not bring myself to watch what was billed as a Democong debate, but from the snippets I've seen... it looks like a love fest for shillary. More about window dressing and kabuki theater than anything else.

If shillary can avoid the felony rap, she is probably their candidate.

Against her, any republicanish candidate is better. Doesn't mean I will vote that way. Cthulhu would be a good write in choice vs say Jeb or Christie

Ben Carson is hated by the left, because a black man will undo all the "achievements" of the first blackish president AND prove that welfare, liberalism, etc is horseshit. Can't be destroying the narrative like that. In my opinion he will not be elected as President. Not sure if he is ready for prime time or not, but I think he is most likely a VP or cabinet person. But, I would not have to hold my nose to vote for him (Romney).

Ted Cruz is my candidate. I like the Constitutional Scholar, the pitbull, the doing what is Right attitude... I am concerned that he will be outspent and scuttled by "friendly" establishment fire.

I could vote for a Cruz / Carson ticket. It would be quite good in a lot of respects. I would like a Cruz / Gowdy ticket a lot more, but I seriously doubt that would happen or even be electable.

If/when Rand walks those voters will likely go to Cruz.

Same shift to Cruz as The Donald (imho) inevitably fades.

Bingo. I think Trump is basically at his high point. The one thing the supporters of the rest of the field have in common, is that they DO. NOT. WANT. TRUMP. As candidates drop out, it will eventually be either a more even 3 way race, or a lopsided 2 way race going against Trump.

The Hill is reporting a general revolt amongst the candidates.
Repubilcan candidates unhappy with the line of questioning in CNBC's debate have said they will meet this weekend to discuss changing the debate process. The candidates said they were going to exclude the RNC from the meeting.
