Is It Time to Start Taking Ben Carson Seriously?

The latest polls show him ahead big in Iowa, 32% to Trump's 18%. Even if you toss that one as an over-good outlier, and also toss his worst performance (tied with Trump) as an over-bad one, an average of the other three polls puts him about 8 ahead of Trump, with room to grow.

And when I say "ahead of Trump" I mean "not even within shooting distance of anyone else."

Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton does the only thing she knows how to do: She accuses an opponent of being "sexist" for standing in her royal way.

While sparring over gun control during the CNN event in Las Vegas, Sanders said, "As a Senator from a rural state, what I can tell Secretary Clinton, that all the shouting in the world is not going to do what I would hope all of us want, and that is keep guns out of the hands of people who should not have those guns and end this horrible violence that we are seeing."

At the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner in Iowa over the weekend, Clinton told the audience of Dems that she's "been told to stop shouting about ending gun violence."

"Well, I haven't been shouting, but sometimes when a woman speaks out, some people think it's shouting," she said. "But I won't be silenced, and I hope you won't be either. How many more people have to die before we take action?"

...

Clinton’s characterization of sexism is "wrong," he stressed.

It's all she's got.
