Carson leading in Colorado

[Siete]

Carson 25%


Behind Carson, Rubio took 19 percent, Trump scored 17 percent and Cruz received 14 percent in Colorado. The question's margin of error — plus-or-minus 4.5 percent — essentially makes it a dead-heat for the second position.

Carson: ‘I Think the Way That I Am Treated by the Left Is Racism’
February 23, 2016 | GOP presidential candidate and retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson told Politico on Tuesday that he hasn’t experienced racism by Republicans and the last time he experienced real racism was by liberals.

“You don’t have to go too far. I think the way that I am treated by the left is racism,” Carson said when asked what was his last personal experience with racism. “They’re saying because you’re black you have to think a certain way, and if you don’t think that way, you’re an Uncle Tom. You’re worthy every horrible epithet they can come up with, whereas if I weren’t black, then I would just be a Republican.” “You have an entirely unique perspective on these issues than a lot of Republicans. I mean you’re very much in the minority in the Republican Party on this,” Politico’s Glenn Thrush said during the “Off Message” podcast.

Thrush: “In terms of-- we’ve seen major party candidates who’ve been African American before, but talk a little bit for me about what is it like in 2016 perhaps compared to previous generations of African-American candidates – even Herman Cain. What has that experience been like, and have there been any surprises?”

Carson: “First of all, I don’t find any particular problem being an African-American in the Republican Party. The people-- I know that in the progressive side of things they like to say that the Republicans are racist, I know that. I haven’t experienced that.”

Ben Carson: Obama ‘Was Raised White’
February 23, 2016 | GOP presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson told Politico on Tuesday that it is “a bit of a stretch” for President Barack Obama to claim he identifies with the experience of black Americans, because “he was raised white.”

“He was raised white,” Carson said of Obama. “Many of his formative years were spent in Indonesia. So for him to claim that he identifies with the experience of black Americans I think is a bit of a stretch.” During an interview with Politico’s “Off Message” podcast, Carson said he was “proud that we broke the color barrier” when Obama was elected, but Obama’s experience and Carson’s experience were “night and day different.”

Politico’s Glenn Thrush asked Carson, “Are you curious at all about what his experience was like? I mean, when he was elected—“

“What experience?” Carson asked.

“Experience of being elected. Let’s just stop it at Jan. 20, 2009, right? Was that significant for you? As somebody who sat and watched that – I was there. I was in the crowd. It was a pretty interesting moment in American history. Did you derive any joy out of that, any sense of pride? How did you process that?” Thrush asked. “I did not—I mean like most Americans, I was proud that we broke the color barrier when he was elected, but I also recognize that his experience and my experience are night and day different. He didn’t grow up like I grew up by any stretch of the imagination – not even close,” Carson said. “He was an ‘African’ American as opposed to an African-American,” Thrush said. “An African-American,” Carson said of Obama. “He was raised white. Many of his formative years were spent in Indonesia, so for him to claim that he identifies with the experience of black Americans I think is a bit of a stretch.”

Good for Carson playing the race card on the left. I love it.

I remember when the right convinced itself for a couple weeks that they could stomach voting for Carson. That was a funny time.

Carson would be much better than Hillary and Bernie.

The GOP would never elect Carson. So your comment is pointless.

Carson killed his own campaign. He was winning Iowa.

Oh shut up. You're an admitted white supremacist. You don't have to pretend the party you like would ever support a negro.

My party doesn't even use the word "negro".

 

[Two Thumbs]

Carson is a decent human being and therefore has no place in politics.


I hope he wins and gets the nomination, just so America can see what a good person looks like while in the WH and not some jackass telling whoever follows them what they want to hear.

That is the joke, they don't.

You idiots have this made up image of a racist Republican Party when nearly all the racialists are in the Democratic Party. The worst Republicans do in an everyday conversation is saying non pc things that do little but possibly make non-whites less than comfortable sometimes.

I most certainly do.

Up until recently Republicans couldn't even talk about fixing illegal immigration without upsetting their own constituency.

They musta been as stoned as Carson seems to be. That's the only explanation I can think of.

Damned by faint praise.
