Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumBen Carson has the best chance of winning against Hillary!
MSNBC is reporting that latest polls show Carson as the GOP's best bet to run against Hillary Clinton.
Who here would pay $1,000.00 to see Hillary and Ben on the national debate stage as the candidates for their parties?????
I would! I really would. She would destroy him in the first 10 minutes and the election would be over early.

(16,286 posts)After what happened in KY yesterday and in Houston (the people who VICIOUSLY HATE transgender people won again) we are looking at a very possible teaparty WH, House and Senate
If so, and if you are a Woman, Black, Latino, Jewish, Gay, Asian, Intelligent, Educated, Mature, Laotian, or Martian, you are at risk for losing your life.

(1,307 posts)This country is filled with so much hate and the hatred seems to be winning everywhere. It's so deep that I was uninvited from a family Thanksgiving because I "have the devil inside me." A direct quote from an email my aunt sent me about the day they have reserved for people of faith.

(16,286 posts)I come to DU as a way to vent my frustration at the insanity, but it is not safe to do that here.
I will be OK without a place to do that, but people who are less mentally stable as myself, who knows.
The polarization between Black and white is the real problem

(9,494 posts)I lived in beautiful Kentucky in my early twenties. It is sad for me to see it go backwards but not surprising. The roots of bigotry, fear and hatred go deep for many people there.
But I think what happened in Huston is just the "it's going to get bad before it get's better" moment. The demographics are changing daily and rapidly and the Huston area is trying very hard to seem like the "sane and inclusive" area of the state. They failed yesterday but I think they get that their future lies with it's better angels. They will, literally, pay the price for yesterday's vote and that should teach them a lesson and change some minds.

(66,462 posts)Republicans talk a good game, but if by some miracle he got the nomination, there's no way he would win. The Teabaggers would rather kill themselves than vote for a black man, no matter how closely he hews to their own ideology. Just not going to happen. The number of bigoted white repubs who would hold their nose and vote for Carson would be overwhelmed by the number of 'baggers who would rather stay home on Election Day.

(137 posts)of this is that any candidate for the presidency from a major party the likes of Ben Carson points to the absurdity our political arena has become.
I continue to believe that, sooner or later in this rather long nominating process, the voices of reason and sanity within the GOP registered electorate will emerge and the Carson's and Trump's, Cruzs' and Christies, Paul's and Rubio's will fade into the obscurity they deserve.

(17,055 posts)When Carson gets into states where there are not many evangelicals, he's cooked. Personally I'd be more concerned (but not much) if Trump won their primary.

(15,438 posts)He's consistently on top.
Man! It would be nice to see Hillary tear Trump to ribbons with that calm smile of hers! I would love to see Trump's face get so red, it would look like he's rug is about to blow off any moment. Priceless!

(15,438 posts)The only Republican I see who can - maybe - give Hillary "an adrenaline rush" in a debate, is Rubio. He's quick on his feet and speaks rapidly. On the other hand, he can't help but lie all the time, and she's good at catching lies and using verbal jiu-jitsu on her opponents, so although he may be quicker than the other Republicans, I'm not all too worried there.

Thanks for the laugh this, for me, early morning, Little Star.

(9,494 posts)it's their job to pretend to take all of these idiots seriously. They were joking about Trump and that's unusual, but Carson's Whacky Doodle statement have normally "non-partisan" reporters calling him weird and bizarre and alluding to mental illness.
