This Presidential Election cycle is a perfect example of the tortoise and hare politics. Where Donald Trump is bold and brass Ben Carson quietly tries to appeal to the people. There are other match-ups that are similar in the Presidential race such as “Hillary Clinton” & “Bernie Sanders” where the unknown slowly creeps up on the one with all the “resources” yet I believe Ben Carson & Donald Trump draw a clearer picture of this type of race. Here’s a few examples (below) why I believe that is so.
(1) QUIET & LOUD- Donald Trump will grab the microphone and make sure everyone will have to listen while Ben Carson speaks softly so people have to try and listen.
(2) SLOW & FAST- Ben Carson has held on to his spot for awhile inching up slowly while Donald Trump has had a lead that appears to have grown except in the most recent polls.
(3) CARAT & LETTUCE- Mr. Trump may possess the financial resources to race to the finish line but Ben Carson relies on his slow moving strategy as if he is eating lettuce along the way.
This ending may not work out like the fairy tales but even if this tortoise won’t finish 1st I see another few gathering speed in the distance.
