With Ben Carson gaining ground in presidential polls, Donald Trump is expanding attacks on his chief rival and suggested he’s nuts.
The dramatic stories from Carson’s rough youth growing up in Detroit are getting a fresh look after CNN contacted multiple Carson friends, classmates and other contemporaries who were unable to corroborate the incidents. Trump fired his first shot Thursday night, when he tweeted: “The Carson story is either a total fabrication or, if true, even worse-trying to hit mother over the head with a hammer or stabbing friend!” It was only last month — when Trump led all the polls — that the real estate mogul said he could see Carson as a possible running-mate.

WRT the headline...
Carson’s nuts are what?
Darker than Trumps?
That’s not news.
Go DT go! Crush liberals! Exterminate islam! Seal the borders! Make America great!
I haven’t heard anything at all like this. What’s your source for his cancer returning?
Couldn’t agree with you more!!!
Carson has changed that stabbing incident so many times, it’s now fair to question if ANY of it actually true.

Yup, Trump can win. I think though he should not say much about Carson...he's self-destructing or at least the media is destroying him. Trump has already had his exam and came out smelling like Roses. They aren't going to find any dirt on Cruz but they will paint him as being right of Hitler.
Lastly, and this includes all candidates, I want a president who served in the armed forces....preferably the U. S. forces.
So, Iâll settle for a Trump-Cruz ticket.

So your dream ticket includes two with neither having the military experience you say you want?
I guess Lindsey Graham is your guy then.
My first questions on Mr. Carson’s intellectual and rationalization capabilities was his talk in which he was wondering if the Great Pyramid, among others were build for grain storage, and not for burial of the pharaohs of the time.
Has Mr. Carson ever seen a cross-sectional view of what a pyramid looks like? It’s like 90% stone. It’s an obscene bit of overkill to build a grain storage bin that has to survive only a decade or two. This, however, is exactly what they are used for in the games Civilization I and Civilization II. Those are PC video games - not to be confused with actual human history.
The second question is one of his personal integrity. Mr. Carson detailed that he was offered a Westpoint Scholarship. It’s revealed today, that Westpoint has no record of him either applying, or being offered a scholarship. Mr. Carson’s campaign today admitted that this piece of factual history, was fabricated by Mr. Carson.
Obama just REJECTED the Keystone Pipeline.
Another great opportunity for Trump to pick up union votes.
At no place in this story did the source actually quote Trump as saying “nuts.” This is a smear on both Trump and Carson.
Dr.Carson announced it three weeks ago at the same time he said he was taking a two-week break to go sign books.
Not my fault you people do not pay attention.
Trump has been written about in the news and tabloids for decades. Trump is teflon against those clowns while the media has juicier target with Carson. They got a better chance of defining him whether right or wrong.
“They aren’t going to find any dirt on Cruz but they will paint him as being right of Hitler.”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Almost everyone is to the right of Hitler. The Nazis were Big Government Socialist control freaks through and through.
Please don’t perpetuate the very evil myth that the Nazis were somehow right-wing. That is an American media/academia/Hollywood invention designed to demonize the right.
Just like their depiction of the right as racist when the KKK and Margaret Sanger were Democrats.
He suggests that Carson’s nuts do what?
True
And still no source.... You’d think that an announcement that significant would have been picked up by some media somewhere.
You imply that Walmart is all a retired brain surgeon is fit for? Seriously? I have to say, is that because he is black? Do you seriously think one of the foremost hospitals in the world would have allowed him to operate on brains as an affirmative action hire?
I get that you are skeptical of Carson. But putting "retired" in quotes means what? That you doubt he is retired? Or that he was a brain surgeon? Get a hold of yourself. Both are absolutely documented and true. He was a very celebrated doctor here in Maryland at the Johns Hopkins hospital, and he most certainly is retired. Brain surgery is not something you can do part-time to "keep your hand in." It requires hospital appointment and huge malpractice insurance; many surgeons retire younger than 65 because it is so taxing physically and requires top-notch physical fitness, vision and steadiness, all of which normally decline with age.
I'm a Trump supporter, but see no reason for trashing Carson's obvious accomplishments as a human being.
