values and principles of america, then of course it should matter. but if it fits within the realm of america and consistent with the constitution, no problem. so do you believe that islam is consistent with the constitution? no, i don t. i do not. i would not advocate that we put a muslim in charge of this nation. i absolutely would not agree with that. so the carson campaign later tried to clarify those comments, telling nbc news, he believes americans are far from ready to accept a muslim for president. one could run. one should be allowed to run. but he was merely saying he could not advocate for someone whose faith was inconsistent with the constitution to lead our country. in an interview this morning carson s business manager defended the candidate. he understands that there are tenets of islam that hates jews, will kill homosexuals, will kill muslims, do not advocate the relief and value systems that
and those two groups don t have so the idea the base is going to get all like you re going to surge ahead in the polling because you re going to repeal the wagner act, i actually don t think rank-and-file voters in iowa care about that one way or the other. that is explicitly a donor class play but at a certain point you need actual general enthusiasm. i would also say that not only did they not care about the wagner act, the republican base doesn t seem to care about policy at all. they are supporting things in supporting trump that they have sworn off. i mean, the idea that this guy is leading still continues to lead the pack in the most consistent way of any candidate since declaring and is calling for a single payer health care system is just absurd. i mean, the bottom line is they are attracted to a disposition and to an attitude and that is it and they ve been trained in that way. you know, when donald trump got grief for not responding to that person who was asking that

question about muslims, the first thing i remembered was john boehner who in 2011 was asked by brian williams, what will you say to the members of your own caucus who do not believe, who have publicly brought up a bill to say that the president s not an american? he said, it s not my responsibility. exactly. they ve been trained they built it. here s this thinking i keep seeing everywhere in the wake of the sort of walker demise, jess, is basically people saying, look, there are four candidates that were plausible choices of the establishment, that was scott walker, jeb bush, marco rubio, and john kasich. kasich is not going to survive the primary because he has views that the base hates. medicaid expansion particularly. he talks in a way that seems designed to antagonize them. jeb bush has shown everyone to be a really not particularly gifted candidate as of now. who knows how that changes. leaving marco rubio, who has shot up in the latest polling in the wake of the debate. w
