      1. I think Trump is making a big mistake going after Carson so frontally with the stabbing story.

      2. If you do want to go after a popular rival, you use deniable surrogates. That's how the Bushes went after McCain.

      3. Trump doesn't have a sophisticated enough organization to have surrogates. You'd think Roger Stone could've helped.

      5. The other thing is Trump is so tone-deaf to evangelical culture that he thinks Carson's stories of youthful violence will hurt him.

      6. Carson's stories of being a violent kid & then turning life around & becoming doctor is redemption narrative. Pure catnip for Christians

          7. If you hang out with evangelical Christians, you hear these redemption stories all the time. The worse you were pre-redemption the better

          8. You don't fact check a redemption narrative, any more than you'd fact check a homily, a hymn or a parable.

          @HeerJeet Yo, a lot of us Christians can differentiate between redemption and "makes a good president". They are NOT the same thing.

          @HeerJeet True, but Trump is baiting him for lying - making it all up. Might work?🤔

          @HeerJeet Yes, Those Christians who made The Blindside & The Help a hit but there also whites who are scared of violent black men.

          @HeerJeet You are using a different definition of "Christian" than the one with which I am familiar.

          @burtonad Well as rest of thread makes clear I'm talking about conservative mostly white evangelical Christians.

          @HeerJeet It appears the media is proving those stories to be false.

          @zefirotorna Sure. But you leave that job to the media. Don't sully yourself with it, or you offend supporters of your opponent.
