That campaign will not make it past the third major primary.
Of course he won't, but I predict he'll lead in the polls at least once.
He already is tied for the lead in some polls, I don't understand how. He has no administrative (I know about his medical achievements but c'mon) or political experience. I'm surprised the average Republican primary voter knows who he is.
Eh, every Conservative page on Facebook has comments about how he is the only one who can save us. Jeb is worse than Hillary. Christie is the devil. But we can forgive Carson's views on gun control because he will save us. Literally every single page. Some NRA die-hards disagree, but it is wildly positive.
Obviously he likely won't last, but he is quite well known by potential voters. My mom even knows who he is because a right wing doctor is obsessed with him.
I don't really mind him, I just won't vote for him, and I think his campaign will collapse after Iowa, maybe even before the Iowa caucuses.
I guess it is a good thing he is splitting up the votes for Cruz, Huckabee, and other terrible candidates though.
