Carson more in touch with GOP base than establishment candidates

NY Times:

As Carson Surges and Bush Struggles, the G.O.P. Frets

With Hillary Rodham Clinton emerging as the leader in the Democratic contest, the Republican field suddenly seems to lack a center of political gravity.
The Democrats are being led by a candidate is is a known liar for political purposes, who even lied to the families of the dead about her Libya screw up.  Jeb Bush is struggling because he is at war with the parties base on issues like immigration and education.

Carson has his weaknesses because of lack of experience, but he also makes it hard to Democrats to run on their theme of Republicans as racists.  Fiorina on the ticket with him would take away their sexist theme.  They might actually have to run on the issues and competence for a change.  That will be hard with a candidate so inept as Hillary Clinton who can't even keep track of classified information that crosses her desk.

The Democrats do seem intent on locking up the transgender demographic whicl makes up less than one percent of the population.
