carson tied with hilldawg nationally. with not so great name recognition too. dude would fucking maul her.

i get my jollies thinking the gop will put a black nominee. the left's collective head will explode when confronted by the idea that the right isn't the mountain of racism it's accused of being. i know you're not supposed to say these things, but that shit's stupid. ethnic perceptions are a big problem for the country, so if im put in a position where i think two candidates are somewhat equal, if one defies a destructive trope, im going for him.

carson/fiorina 2016!

The heads that will be exploding are certainly the people on the right with latent racist tendencies that they've never dealt with or owned up to. I mean, I agree with you, being a republican does not make you a racist, but a lot of republican positions are easily used to pursue racist agendas under a veil of legitimacy.

Democratic strategist may shit their pants, but panic attacks among the electorate will be heavily skewed to the right.

This is what I'm talking about. Just because a lot of people who are not Republicans think this is true doesn't make it true.

The myth is so pervasive that it may take a black GOP nominee to start dismembering it. So yeah, where you think a significant chunk of Republicans will balk at the idea of a Carson nominee, I don't. Not only are the vast majority of conservatives not racist, but everybody is so fucking sick of being called racist at every turn that being black helps him.

The amount of racism in the Democratic party is huge, but the only (only!) time anybody talks about racism is when a Republican does it. Nevermind so much of the overt racism in the Northeast and Midwest. Nevermind that Democrats push the racist policies and get the "racist outcomes". Nevermind that the places where blacks have it the worst have been ruled with nearly an iron fist by Democrats for nearly fifty years. But when the Republican party itself denounces the Confederate flag, a flag that is usually held up for reasons more complex than just racism, the Republicans are still the party of racists. The racism in the left is so ridiculous that its candidates get bullied by activists and have to apologize to them for suggesting that black lives aren't the only ones that matter.

This bullshit will bite the Democrats in the ass big time. If Carson turns out to be a strong candidate, he will win the nomination then destroy the left's coalition, and he'll do so while getting every bit as much of the southern white vote as white men do. Nevermind that the south is by far the least segregated part of the country as is.

So when you said this, you were talking about something unrelated to everything we had said up to this point?

Don't accuse me of things. I read posts carefully and respond to them carefully. After being accused of bias, I was extra diligent to make sure that I had read your post carefully enough.
