Quote:I wonder how much of what Carson is saying is an attempt to get some of the trump voters to pay attention to him...

Wouldn't surprise me. He's in as good a position as anyone to be the dark horse that emerges as a front-runner by the time of the convention, so if he can steal voters away from Trump now, he's only helping himself later.

 

Of course, his political naivety could be in play, too. Fair or not, he's going to have to face the stigma of having zero political experience every time he says something questionable or outside the norm.
