INDEPENDENT CONSERVATIVE VOICE OF
UPSTATE SOUTH CAROLINA

Carson-Wong-1

Republican Presidential Candidate Dr. Ben Carson pulled double duty in Greenville, Friday, 13 November 2015. He began the day speaking to a breakfast meeting of about 250 Republican Women and their guests at the Global Trade Center. Dr. Carson took time to shake hands and greet virtually everyone in attendance. His address was mostly about personal relationships, truth and well thought-out solutions to complex problems. He did not venture into domestic and foreign policy issues.

Security including a Secret Service Detail was tight at the morning event and moved quickly to the Bob Jones University campus where Dr. Carson joined Senator Tim Scott and Congressman Trey Gowdy for a Town Hall meeting with 5,000 in attendance. The candidate responded to questions and discussed more issues dealing with policy matters at this event.

Dr Carson remains in a virtual tie with Donald Trump in national polls.
