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.

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.

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.

Trumps an ass but I like that he’s in your face about everything that seems to matter, at least to normal people but I don’t trust him... I’d like to see it in someone who’d actually do something about it like Cruz.

Be nice if someone could put it even more direct and state upfront Obama is a POS who’s done a lot to destroy this country, his administration are idiots without a clue, political correctness needs to be destroyed and liberals are the new NAZI’s. Demand a a revolution to take back America and get rid of the scum that want to take this nation down.

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

Of course he will not drop out over this.

This is typical witch hunting and dung digging by the MSM to find any shred of anything they can spin into a scandal.

He was an extremely gifted kid, who was the top ROTC candidate in Detroit that year.

From his perspective an offer to get him an appointment would have sounded like a scholarship to any kid from the projects.

In essence, an appointment is a full ride scholarship...but it is different because it requires a senatorial/congressional backing. But he never went that far...at all.

He was going on what people were telling him as a teenager...but he mad it clear then, and it is clear now that he had no interest. His own record of what he did speaks for itself.

They will do anything to bring him down...just like they did Herman Cain.

1996 Death Panels and Seizure of Insurance Company Profits In an article published in the Harvard Journal of Minority Public Health, [Vol 2 (1), 1996. Carson BS, Washington H: Health Care Reform -- A Paradigm Shift], Carson advocates for death panels, and the forced seizure of profits by the government from insurance companies.

Excerpts from Health Care Reform-A Paradigm Shift:

The most natural question is, who will pay for catastrophic health care? The answer: The government-run catastrophic health care fund. Such a fund would be supported by a mandatory contribution of 10 to 15 percent of the profits of each health insurance company, including managed care operations[...]

As our general population continues to age and as our technical abilities continue to improve we will find ourselves in a position of being able to keep most people alive...well beyond their 100th birthday. The question is "Should we do it simply because we can? It is well known that up to half of the medical expenses incurred in the average American's life are incurred during the last six months of life....rather than putting them in an intensive care unit, poking and prodding them, operating and testing them ad nauseam, why not allow them the dignity of dying in comfort, at home, with an attendant if necessary?...Decisions on who should be treated and who should not be treated would clearly require some national guidelines."

Trump people are out on tv bashing Carson on the West Point story. It’s going to backfire!

Right, the West Point story is a not starter. However the other issues you listed will cause him some problems.

And maybe the attacks by Trump on Carson this week will send Carson supporters in another direction. I think a lot of them liked Carson because he was civil.
