Missed him last night. Needed some of his low-key, dry humor to smooth out the proceedings a bit. For that reason alone, I wish he’d stay in.

Benny reached too high.
Jumping from brain surgeon to POTUS is a bit of a reach.
Should have tried Governor or Congress first.

Methinks Ben wont be endorsing anyone— at least not at this time.

Didn’t the Cruz campaign lie about Carson leaving the race during a caucus? Hard to image Carson will throw in behind Cruz. Don’t think he’ll support No Show Rubio, so the only one left is Trump (isn’t Kasich a lost cause?)

Ben already said if you vote for Trump you are dense, so don’t expect any Trump endorsements, Kasich maybe

Your campaign (Ben Carson) does something that causes reasonable people to think you are dropping out.....and somebody in the Cruz campaign repeats what was already rumored and reported elsewhere. And you blame Cruz? Why don’t you blame the reporter? Or better yet why don’t you blame Carson for giving people a good reason to speculate he was dropping out?

Dr. Carson is a class act. Whomever wins the nod, will want him on their team.

"Dr. Carson is a class act."

Indeed, a good and decent man, who has a lot to offer his country. I hope he stays engaged in the political discourse, just not as an elected official.

Yup, you don’t publish something like that based on rumors and unconfirmed reports. You put the truth above political expediency.
