Carson is in second place, but MSM never discusses him, in depth, as Trump's main competitor. (Last poll had Carson tied with Trump, 23-23, Bush 5 and those results were pretty much ignored.) From the media's perspective, it's always Trump v. Bush. Clearly Bush was expected to be the front runner and MSM just can't figure out how to adjust the meme. After all, telling the truth might make the Koch's real mad!
