Cheap entertainment. If the press wasn't all up in his jock sensationalizing every thing he says and move he makes there wouldn't have been half that many there.

(R)'s are scared of Trump right now because of the attention he is getting.

This is a reason I like Paul so much. Things like his mission trip to Haiti as well. Christie called him out for the filibuster of the NSA, but if you really knew Paul you would know he really does believe in the things he supports. It's a shame that his foreign policy perspective (although correct) is what will keep him from being elected. damn I would love to see a President Paul, but I don't think it will happen; because of that I will support Carson if I have to as of rn.

He did make sense. That the BLM folks were allowed to disrupt Sanders but made to meet with Clinton after her speech speaks volumes to how they are being made into a political tool.

Carson spoke the truth in that op-ed. The entire #blacklivesmatter protests are just a political tool being used for what? Not to help the black community, I know that much but to only ostracize the community even more. Carson would do wonders for the black community if elected.

What do you expect the media to do with him. He's not a star because they made him. They cover him because he is so sensational.

That's not what will keep him from being elected.

I expect them to do what is good for their ratings and he is good for ratings. However they do sensationalize his words to drive ratings.

He has more of a likability problem than policy problem. He doesn't play nor work well with others. I don't have a problem with his policy suggestions, although I highly doubt he would ever truly act on them if elected. He's just not very likable.

I don't disagree. He does have his moments of arrogance.

By virtue of the fact that he has good policies, he will always be perceived as not playing nice. The guys wit big government garbage to sell are all after him.

What makes you think he wouldn't act on his policies? He's clearly different. His office just gave back $1.8M. No one does that.

He can't build a consensus within his own party to get anything done. He's not a salesman and a politician wanting to radically change things needs to be a salesman.
