The Carson surge.
OK, here's the deal. There ain't no way in Hell the Republicans are going to nominate a black man, no matter how batshit crazy right wing he is. So, in the end, where will these supporters go?

Trump?

Rubio?

Bush?

That's the question.

Step aside, Donald Trump. The brash billionaire must now share frontrunner status in the US Republican presidential nominations battle with retired neurosurgeon and fellow political outsider Ben Carson, fresh polling showed Wednesday.

Like I said, we're looking at a brokered convention.

Wouldn't that be a kiss of death if they nominate someone other than the winner of the primaries?

Trump wins. Too independent & skilled with the media to lose...I think.

It goes to delegate count at the nominating convention. If the primary results and the delegates they produce don't allow one single candidate to have a majority, then the fun starts with delegates for one candidate being coaxed to switch their vote.

Aren't these candidates scoring surges from the debates? So I expect Rubio to be the next surgee. Right now the Republican base aka. wingnuts seem to be hell bent on supporting or electing non career politicians. Trump, Carson and to a lesser degree Rubio fit the bill. Fearina looks too angry to win over people's hearts, besides HP and Lucent will always haunt her.

So what is the GOP platform going to look like with their anti-women & anti-immigrant (Trump), anti- Gay & anti-Muslim (Carson) stances? Rubio is probably is opposed to everyone and everything except himself.

She's a woman. The best she can hope for is the VP slot.

Republicans will insist that the female always be subservient to the male.

It's in the Bible.
