Is Ben Carson is electable

You can display Carson's banner, like I am displaying Trump's.

In your profile, under forum profile information, check show mock election votes.
Then go to Republican 2016 primary mock election and vote Carson.

If Carson and Cruz split the vote too much in Iowa, Trump can squeak on through to a win, especially if Rubio underperforms, which he might.

Unfortunately this could happen. I hope it doesn't

In 2008 and 2012, the evangelical candidates were able to get 40% of the vote combined in Iowa. Huckabee won with 34%, a decisive victory, but got crushed in New Hampshire afterword, and then Nevada, and then it was over by Super Tuesday. In 2012 Santorum got around 25%, only a couple of points over Romney, and it wasn't enough. If Carson and Cruz can split that 40%, Trump can win with the numbers he has right now in the polls. Carson would need to appeal to more than just the evangelicals in Iowa to carry the state and so far he isn't.

Carson can appeal to moderates too. That appeal has recently taken a hit due to MSM witch hunt and Trump jumping on the bandwagon.

Edit: Plus Carson dropped due to Paris attacks and his poor performance in the aftermath.

Carson also leads in the latest primary polls in Virginia, North Carolina, and Colorado. He won't win New Hampshire, but nor will Cruz or any other staunchly conservative candidate. Carson is simply a likable man, and he can win!

Lol ok.

You can't pretend like he isn't likable. His favorability rating is the highest of all the candidates according to RCP and he dominates likability in Iowa (88-8)

He is likable. That's a fact shown by his favorable rating.
