Ben Carson implosion isn't good news for Republican elites. It's good news for Trump.

A national poll released by Fox News this week asked Republican voters who they'd support with and without Carson in the race. Without Carson, Trump gains 8 percentage points, Marco Rubio gains 5, and Cruz gains 3: Sans Carson, Trump goes from 26 to 34% Cruz goes from 11 to 14% Rubio goes from 11 to 16%

Carson is unlikely to drop out, based on the West Point story. General Westmoreland has passed.

However backing TPP, and against deportation of illegals are more serious IMO.

If a video surfaces of the doctor saying he is OK with death panels... that would certainly be a game changer.

The best thing for Carson to do is not to say a word. That seems to work best for him. It’s when he expresses his ideas when he gets in trouble.

Both Ryan and Carson shot to prominence by a each making a single speech against Obama,

Maybe it was all a set up by Obama and the dims/GOPe from the start.

...and the Candy Crowley (sp) episode with Romney

Two coincidences are coincidences...

but three are a trend.

Just sayin...............

The Politico story has already been debunked and Dr. Gentle Ben has racked up another first.

He’s the first black candidate for President to have his college records researched.

Looks lot better than 10 and 11 candidates.

Let see

Cruz: Votes for fast tracking TPP. Now says he is against it.

Carson: I was against TPP but now that we see the final product, there are things in here we can work with.

Trump: Our trade deals are a disaster, wait until I am President and I will negotiate real good trade deals.

So apparently those of you who want NO trade deals are screwed because no one is on your side.

Again with the falsehoods about Carson. Lying is still a sin you know.

Real simple. I have nothing but contempt for people who spend all their time and effort attack other candidates rather then making the case of their candidate.

That is the tactics of the political Left. Is contemptible when they do it, and even more contemptible when people on the Right, who should now better, try it.

The Politico story might have been debunked, but didn’t he make the same claim in a sit down with Charlie Rose and on his fb page too? I don’t trust Politico, but, I’m not sure this is going away.

Not if Trump keeps acting like a buffoon about it.

Carson is toast. He will be fading fast especially after the TPP announcement. He’s just not holding up under scrutiny. The nomination is Trump’s to lose and I seriously doubt he’s going to let that happen.
