He ‘chose’ to run for the presidency.

If he didn’t know how much scrutiny that would bring, that is HIS fault — especially after he became an R just last year.

==

The *moral equivalency* that they never vetted Obama or Clinton or whichever D is no defense.

WE know how they are. They have taken down some D’s in the past, but not many. They always come after the front-runner R. Always. And guess who they were proclaiming as the new front-runner this week.

I concur with your assessment of the poster of this question.

“but the one thing that niggles in the back of my head is that Trump, just before he kicked off, had a substantial conversation with Bill Clinton.”

I like Clinton, but that conversation didn’t sound right to me either. And I didn’t like Trump’s answer when he was called out on it. It sticks in the back of my mind too.

My question is, who told the media they had that conversation?
We’ll see.

Nothing pisses of a leftist more than inconvenient truths that hamper their Forward! progress into the Right.

Well, we knew it would happen once the GOPe got him ahead in a couple of polls. The goal all along was to try to knock Trump out, substitute Ben. Then, take out Ben, substitute Cruz (have you noticed all the Cruz-friendly stories in the WSJ, National Review, etc lately?). In this scenario, once they had Cruz in, they would take him out and substitute Rubio, who is their (now) favorite, since Yeb has collapsed.

Too many on FR are ignoring the GOP-e scribblers who are suddenly wanting "conservatives" to rally around Ben Carson, essentially "because the MSM is mean to him." Well, the MSM is mean to a lot of people, but somehow, pundits in outfits like the National Review couldn't put their dislike of Donald Trump aside when the MSM was mean to him. I guess Donald Trump just isn't kindly and soft-spoken enough.

It seems like yet another curious incident of the dog in the night-time, but in this case, the dog didn't bark before, but he's barking now.

I’m having doubts it was about a YouTube video...

“The BlackFemaleArmyCaptain is all in on high tech lynching.”

Carson should know a Republican is going to get a lot of scrutiny from the press. He should be very careful on what he puts in his book. Remember he was just on a book tour so this is relevant. Don’t blame her.

Yeah well somehow I don’t think having half the country with no skin in the game redounds to low taxes and limited government.

Would you vote for a candidate who promised a massive raise in the taxes you pay?

People will now go after every thing Carson has ever claimed

"People"?, as in "Power to the People"? Nah. It's the media, just stirring pot, disrupting the GOP. They'll get around to your favorite boy soon enough - after they get him nominated, Kaboom, they'll turn on him with 50+ years of louche quotes and behavior. Sample:

"You know, it really doesn't matter what the media write as long as you've got a young and beautiful piece of a$$."

Yes, I do. I think he was a decent President. I would take him over Obama and his wife any day of the week.

You have a problem with that?

I disagree. I believe he was offered a scholarship (that’s what it was called even though you had to serve 4 years in the military) Other people have found flyers back then where it was called a full scholarship. You only had to know someone who could help get you in and have good grades, good SAT scores, etc.

Carson was a highly intelligent black man with high ROTC marks and high academic grades. Like my daughter, Carson didn’t want to serve in the military. I read somewhere that Seventh Day Adventists were often conscientious objectors. I don’t know. This may have been his real reason for turning it down. I’m sure if he had pursued it, he could have gotten into West Point.

They don't have to "prove" anything, the allegation is enough.

Notice how this story includes a reference to the totally debunked story from yesterday.
