(9:30 on a Saturday morning) and it was a robo call from Dr. Ben Carson. I hung up. They must simply be calling everyone in New Mexico, which isn't a very good strategy.

(23,156 posts)Given you thought the Carly F volunteer sounded nervous, did you try to convince her to come over to the good side? If you're a strong fan of anyone of our candidates, you could have pitched that person. Otherwise, the Democratic Party in general.

(2,674 posts)I live in Texas in a district that is heavily Democrat (yes, there are districts like this in Texas). What occurred to me was that Carson must have a lot of money to spend if he wasting it on robo calls in my area and also it is too early in the election cycle for robo calls. Now, you say he is also robo calling in New Mexico. This also shows he is not spending his money wisely.

(37,573 posts)either my number is in a list of conservative donors (well, it is a fairly new number too, I have only had it about a year) or he's robocalling everybody in the world.
I just set the phone on my table, hoping he is being charged by the minute (even though he probably is not).

(23,156 posts)who are also reporting calls from the good doctor, either he's spending a fortune on robo calling the entire country, or we are all weirdly on a select list. I've long been a registered Democrat, and have recently donated money to Bernie, so anyone who bothers to research me ought to be able to figure out I'm not very likely to vote for any Republican at all.
Unless this sort of random calling is simply indicative of how incredibly clueless so many Republicans are, especially those running for office.
