As Carson Stumbles, Trump Slowly Turns the Knife
The Fiscal Times ^ | Nov 8, 15 | Rob Garver

Carsons chief competitor for the Republican presidential nomination at the moment is billionaire former reality television star Donald Trump, who has not been shy about attacking and ridiculing his opponents throughout the campaign.

On Sunday, however, across multiple telephone interviews with talk shows, Trump adopted the tone of a concerned colleague, suggesting that he is genuinely worried about Carson, whom, he said, he has come to consider a friend.

If Carson departs the race, according to recent Fox poll, Trump benefits the most. Personally I would like to see Carson stay in the race. He is keeping the GOPe candidates from gaining front runner status.

Personally, I would like to see Carson....out. He's weird.

My gut told me early on that he was a red herring and a secret Dem.

A lot of Freepers were thinking the same thing about Trump before he got in the race, me included, about him being a secret Dem sent to get Hillary elected.

I do not want Carson to win nomination. But he is useful blocker for Trump to keep the GOPe candidates in check.

In Fox's latest poll how they would scatter in the four winds...

Trump 34/+8
Rubio 16/+5
Cruz 14/+3
Fiorina 5/+2
Bush 5/+1
Huck 5/+1

"As Carson Stumbles, Trump Slowly Turns the Knife"

I suspect there are many who find that imagery offensive. They supported Carson because of his humble origin and demeanor along with his fearless conviction in his faith.

But I find the image pleasing. It vindicates what I've been saying for months on FR, even if I was the only one paying attention to me.

Ironically there are former Pro-Hillary blogs that have thrown out Hillary and now support Trump, because Hillary has gone so far left and because they hate Obama for stealing the nomination through primary fraud.

Trump is more his own man than all other candidates. Because all others must obey their rich donors.

I can overlook the pyramid theory, his multi level marketing infomercial, the West Point BS, the hammer attack, and so on BUT being pro TPP and PR statehood is unforgivable.

Anyone associated with Sharpton, Farrakhan and other leftwing socialists & racists should be rejected immediately - i.e. reject Carson. Immediately.

Secret Dem? Yes.

He’s a Republican the way Colin Powell is a Republican.

Neither of them is a conservative.

Shaking Sharpton’s blood soaked hand must be quite a thrill.

Good. Carson is a clown and Can ONLY hurt us. I’m still not a “fan” but do like Trump a bit more as each day passes.

You deranged Trump haters are really the biggest liars.

Trump has nothing to do with :
Carson writing a strange book and going on tour to make millions. ,
Carson supporting the treason TPP treaty which wipes out US jobs, US laws, US sovereignty. Carson supports illegal alien amnesty !
Carson wants statehood for Puerto Rico !

I realize you want a RNC K street puppet like Carson but please spare us the lies.

I’m most concerned about the slippery slimy Rubio. That guy is dangerous. He’s as ruthless as the current liar-in-chief.
