Yes, hopefully 2016 is different and Trump wins all the way to the Whitehouse.

I hope he mentions names and releases the recordings.
Just wow. I believe Ben Carson. I think he, along with myself at least, are finding out JUST how filthy and dirty politics REALLY is. He was my top pick, just on integrity alone but the reality is, he isn’t going to make it. I’m sure he will disclose names, perhaps in a well-timed op-ed but sometime after he stops his run for office.
Ummm, no.
Trump could offer Carson money but not a senate seat...that would be from the establishment.
Not sure I buy this story, however ...
It almost sounds like they are implying that senators are made behind the scenes, not elected. Which I wouldn’t doubt anymore.
He isn’t hinting anything. He’s an honest man who’s telling his followers what is going on. He’s learning just how dirty politics is. Trump isn’t buying anyone. You apparently have a bad case of TDS. Maybe by Tuesday you’ll feel better.
At the rate Carson is gathering delegates, I doubt the other candidates or Party members are taking much interest in Carson and his presidential run.
There are only two candidates who stand to benefit. The person who made the offer is acting as an agent for that candidate. It is not the agent that should be held accountable; it is the one who is in on the deal.
It makes both suspect. You would think that the innocent one would rush to the microphone and deny culpability, if there is one.
I use the term culpability because it is an attempt to buy a presidential election.
Deniability will be the watchword.
“Trump could offer Carson money but not a senate seat.”
I don’t know, Trump has been making all kinds of promises lately with making Mexico pay for the wall, making China give the jobs back... compared to those, offering Senate is peanuts.
If it was a private conversation in confidence, no it does not. It's a little matter of that Fourth Amendment thingy.
Yep. I knew it! Don’t take their blood money, Carson!
***damn the GOPe.
How does the Fourth Amendment apply?

Trump will not offer $. More likely Surgeon General. But no offer was made in the context Carson was discussing
Sounds like it.
Glad to see you coming around ;-)
......The other four candidates have to make the case to Carson supporters to change their vote.
Yea I can live with Cruz or Trump. Carson is not that big of a threat, so I don’t see how his staying in the race is a problem. Unless, it’s his endorsement they are after.
“I’ve got unanswered calls on my phone right now, ‘Oh, if you did this or did this, and did this, or if you drop out and support this guy, we’ll give you all this money and we’ll make sure you’re a senator here,’” Carson said.
Wow, this is a bombshell. Dr Carson needs to expose the corruption of the RNC. He has been treated horribly by the media and the RNC.
Still want Trump to win and for Carson to be part of Trumps cabinet.
Who can promise the Florida Senate Seat? Carson lives in Florida, so that means, one of the Senators is out and someone with enough power can ensure he becomes a Florida Senator.
Hope Carson exposes the RNC/ Rinos. Someone left a voicemail and you know they are now squirming.
Welcome to politics.
If Carson doesn’t mention names,then he’s making it all up togain more sympathy votes and material for his books.
I don’t know the law but could the offer of money to drop out of an election be criminal to those involved with the offer and anyone excepting the money.
