If the nominee will be humble and wise, he or she will adopt many of the positive characteristics the voters want in a candidate.

The MSM is touting every little thing that Carson does to prevent riots.Punch your computer or smash your phone against the wall when you read that but you know deep down I'm right.Americans are diverted so easily it's pathetic.We seem to have forgotten the merit system,where people are not propped up to appease minorities,but are forced to put up or shut up.Don't fill in the Carson inadequacies with fluff and stuff.Make him earn his keep just like every other candidate.After the debate tonight we will get a better look at what he has to offer.

How can 1000 random people be polled and determine who we want as a GOP Rep? I know damn well that Trump is the number 1 pick for Marylanders!
