LMFAO!

[Zioneer]

Sure, Dr. Carson and crew, sure. You keep thinking that. And hopefully, the Republican primary voters think so too..

[Lief 🗽]

Wow, this is terrific. I really appreciate how hard he and his team are working to win over the Herman Cain 2012 supporters. He knows that we cannot be taken for granted, especially with exciting candidates like Donald Trump considering jumping in.

[heatmaster]

Not this voter! Go away Dr. Carson...your 15 minutes are up!

[SteveRogers]

Life can be a challenge
Life can seem impossible
It's never easy when so much
Is on the line

But you can make a difference
With courage you can set things right
The gift to dream and make dreams real
Is yours and mine

[heatmaster]

Are you for real? Not gonna happen; of course it's nice to dream, though best time to do it, is in the land of nod😪

"Carson communications director"

Did he hire this guy ?

[heatmaster]

I hope so!😉

[Donerail]

Mostly true. If Carson is nominated it would be the biggest landslide since 1984, just not necessarily in his direction.

[PresidentTRUMP]

After a few primaries he will drop out, should of ran for a house or senate seat if he wanted to be in congress....he will never be president of the US thats for sure or the republican nominee.

[heatmaster]

I'm sure that will make Democrats very happy, realizing that Republicans are not going with Carson☺

[Bojack Horseman]

Exactly what I was about to say.

[Xing]

Yeah, if Carson were the Republican nominee, he could be the first candidate since 1984 to only win one state.

[Sumner 1868]

Yeah, if Carson were the Republican nominee, he could be the first candidate since 1984 to only win one state.

Oklahoma? Utah?

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Yeah, if Carson were the Republican nominee, he could be the first candidate since 1984 to only win one state.

Oklahoma? Utah?

If this scenario ever happened Utah would certainly be the state won.  It has voted more Republican in every presidential election in which both states have voted, I think.

I wouldn't be surprised if Carson made some insulting comment about Utah at that point.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

OK, guys, which one of you works as Carson's communication director?

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

OK, guys, which one of you works as Carson's communication director?

Ok, I admit it. I was approached last month and took the job .

Serious?

[heatmaster]

Guess that was after he offered it to me, but told him I had something less painful to do and chew on tin foil😊

Can you please stop posting in this thread

Uh, I hope he is not serious (probably just attention). Still, Carson wouldn't lose 49 states either. Heck, he is even tying Clinton in NC.
But then again, two years ago Dems were telling everyone that Hillary would win TX, KY, LA, AR, AZ, MO, MS, WV and of course NC. VA, FL, OH, WI, CO were already solid Hillary states. This may not be as ridiculous as the thought of Carson winning 49 states, but it is still a joke.

Yes, but most people thought (and Republicans were still fervently praying) that Hillary wouldn't run back then.

People are still hoping and praying that. Silly Politico just wrote another "omg, what if hilery doesn't run, chaos!!11!!!!!!" story a couple days ago.

This was before the midterms, when the final nail in the coffin was set in LA and AR, Childers didn't even hit 40% in MS, Grimes/Tennant/Curtis lost in large landslides, the brakes were hit hard in  the effort to turn AZ/GA/TX purple, NC lost any sense of being anything more than the democrats equivalent of PA for the republicans, FL re-elected a criminal, Kasich won Cuyahoga, a former personhood supporter won in CO (and a former birther came pretty close to winning), Walker won by 5, and Warner almost lost despite being a "supposedly super popular senator that not even god could defeat".

(MO will only happen for Clinton if GA, AZ (probably), and NC go for her as well, given how it's been trending since the 90's.)

Democrats were confidently and publicly predicting that they would hold the senate right up until the first polls closed. Nah, they weren't just muttering it behind closed doors, it was on the news shows, in public addresses and press releases, everything. Even Joe Biden had this sort of huge confidence. Most democrats, not just the Daily Kos Writers, were very confident, right up until the 1st polls closed, that even if the GOP picked up MT, SD, WV, AR, LA, and IA, the democrats would hold AK, CO, and NC (and obviously NH), pick up GA, and get Orman to caucus with them, leading to at least a 51-49 Majority when all was said and done. Now that that didn't happen, they're all realizing how dumb their early 2016 predictions were, and are rolling them back quite fast.
