As we get ready to watch tonight’s main debate, lets focus on this point. Over the last week or so Ben Carson has been revealed as at best a serial teller of tall tales and spouter nonsense and conspiracy theories. It hasn’t affected his standing with his core supporters in the GOP base electorate. But there’s little question these revelations are a big problem in the broader electorate that a presidential candidate has to compete in to actually win the White house. And yet I think there’s a decent chance that neither the other candidates or the moderators will even touch the subject, all because of the ‘media bias’ feedback loop that’s taken hold of the GOP nomination race since the last debate. Even touching the subject risks sparking a riot.

Meanwhile Lou Dobbs can’t seem to decide which is better, the Republican candidates or the Fox Business News debate production.
