I think a lot of it is because he is a doctor and not a politician. So he basically said in "Doctor speak" Trump is wrong about vaccines/autism and Trump is right about the idea of spreading the other vaccines out and not necessarily needing all of them. I felt like he answered the way our pediatrician would if my wife asked him the same question. He would nicely tell her not to listen to the "vaccine truthers" but in a way that didn't make her feel dumb.

My thought on Carson after last night is he seems to be much more intelligent than most of the other candidates but not probably somebody we want leading the country. Somebody like Putin or Jinping would take advantage of his nice polite demeanor.
