“I will not be tricked into supporting Carson over Trump.”
I agree. Carson said or implied strongly enough (by saying he received a “full scholarship”) that he was ACCEPTED at West Point, which . The Politico ran the story saying he ATTENDED West Point...big difference, but BOTH WRONG, and in Carson’s case a flat-out lie - for Politico it was either a careless mistake or was said for some other reason. People simply do not “confuse” receiving a “full scholarship” to West Point with having a “conversation” with an admiral - and if someone actually did, they have no business in the White House.
The media, as they have proven over and over again and again, doesn’t mind getting caught in a lie, if it furthers their cause - they gave Dan Rather that huge award because his lies nearly stole the 2004 election from Bush-43.
So what’s going on here? Simple fear of Trump. Others have been taking bullets left and right to try to bring down Trump, so now Politico figured they’d give it try. So Politico, knowing that Trump will eventually key-in on Carson’s flat-out lie, goes after it first, and INTENTIONALLY MUFFS IT. Accomplishes two things, both good for Politico, the Democrats, and the GOPe. First, Carson’s flat-out lie is no longer an issue - it’s old news, off the table, and second, people leave Trump and rally to Carson, since the media smeared him. It certainly had that effect on Rush, and seems to be working here also.
Offered and accepted are not close to being the same.
He just seems to be always wanting that next Boy Scout badge, or ROTC badge so proudly worn in that parade (nothing wrong with that)just that he seems at the ready for whoever will see him and make him an offer, he knows full well back then that Blacks had the AA going for them.
I'm sure his mother encouraged him to use any method available to advance, nothing wrong with that. I do admire his mother for MAKING him become something, and not living in the GHETTO madness, maybe why he attacked her as perhaps the street looked more fun to him.
I am beginning to get the feeling now, that someone put a suggestion in his ear to run for president as that would be the ultimate Baddest BADGE of all. Feeding on his EGO and naivety now. Much the same way as that someone (Westmoreland & others) selected him to go to West Point, and we can make it happen, their motives being good I'm sure.
But now, those someone's being either GOPe or DNC......both have motives to make a fool out of whomever they choose to loose, knowingly know that Carson is very naive and can be used because they know that Carson wants that one more Badge.
