Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson on Sunday said he would not want someone such as Donald Trump to be commander in chief.
Mr. Carson said Mr. Trump, the front runner for the GOP presidential nomination, acted rashly last week when he immediately gave credence to news reports that Mr. Carson had fabricated parts of his life story as told in the book 'Gifted Hands,' which chronicled his rise from severe poverty in a Detroit ghetto to become an acclaimed neurosurgeon.
Mr. Trump tweeted that the reports exposed 'one of many lies' by Mr. Carson and called it the 'beginning of the end' of the Carson campaign.
'What does it say about people who immediately jump on the bandwagon when they hear something bad rather than waiting and finding out what the truth is?' Carson asked.
'Let me put it this way,' Mr. Carson said. 'I would not be anxious to have a commander in chief who acted that way.'
Mr. Carson has remained Mr. Trumps closest rival in the polls for weeks.
The news reports raised questions about Mr. Carsons claims that he was offered a scholarship to West Point and whether he tried to stab a classmate in a schoolyard brawl. Mr. Carson has fiercely defended all of the details of his life story.
Mr. Trump, who followed Mr. Carson on the show, said that the stories of violence from Mr. Carsons childhood were disturbing, whether true or fabricated.
'Look, I hope it all works out for him. Its a strange situation, though, when you talk about hitting your mother in the head with a hammer and hitting your friend in the face with a padlock, when you talk about stabbing somebody but the [belt buckle] saved them,' Mr. Trump said.

Well so is Cruz’s, is that a problem?
“I didn’t know Jesus was black, but then being Hebrew, I doubt he had blond hair and blue eyes either.”
Given that the area was part of the Hellenistic world since the days of Alexander the Great, it’s not beyond the pale of possibility. However, no contemporary reports call him a blonde.
Ben Carson’s book includes a story about single-handedly halting a bear attack during a school camping trip. I guess this qualifies him to be Commander and Chief. You can’t make this insanity up folks. It’s all in his books.

If Trump falls for this trap he should drop out immediately!
Yup, he’s not all touchy-feeling, wispy-washy, squishy like most of these jerks when they get into office. The Street Fighter will stay strong and take no prisoners in DC or overseas. Cruzmeister will keep Trump within limits of the Constitution.
Obtuse much?
You don't think that Trump lies?
The MSM with examples, says that Trump lies, just like they do the same for Carson.
So you selectively believe the MSM when they say Carson lies but you don't believe them when they say Trump lies?
Certainly not Blinkin’ Ben.
Ben would invite ISIS over for dinner at the White House because “we’re all God’s children.”
Regarding religion, you don’t need to go to church to be a follower of Christ aka a Christian. My grandfather always said there are more sinners in church on Sunday then not. Of course we are all sinners at our core. Yet grandpa wasn’t saying those staying home weren’t sinners as I confusingly thought as a child. No, my grandpa was saying that just because you go to church doesn’t make you a good Christian person any more then not going to church makes you a bad person or someone who doesn’t follow Christ. Looking at Trump I see someone who was raised a Christian, though not a evangelizing one. I see Trump as a fighter, a warrior and warriors know when to fight and when to negotiate; as well as to when to be humorous and self effacing. Yes, self effacing which with Trumps’ bold personality can be difficult know when he doing so. If I vote for him over Cruz, it is because Cruz was born in Canada and Trump was born in the USA.
self effacing: not claiming attention for oneself; retiring and modest. “His demeanor was self-effacing, gracious, and polite.” (In spite of his being bold and charismatic.)
Yeah, Ben’s idea of aid to Egypt would be to ship them grain to fill up the pyramids.
Have you been reading my notes? You’re spot on Lady!
“My concern with Trump is that his worldview generally excludes God.
This is very important but not enough see it (or care). Trump is his own god, in a way, or money is his god, etc. This country is in way too big of a mess to think that Trump could do anything about it without God.”
Bingo! Neither would partner with the other of each did not respect the other’s skills.
I think he’s a fruitcake. Add the pyramid story to this picture.
Jesus played in a grainery.
Does Cruz lie? Does Bush lie? Does Rubio lie? Does obuma lie? Does Hillary lie? Does the Governor of New York lie?
The only person I know that doesn’t lie in this world is God and he isn’t here yet...so what’s your point..
Is that all you have to prove your point you want some ‘hick’ to save America like we have had the last 8 years?
Thank You....I have my own, but we could share...lol
