I’m ex-military. So are most of the people I know. I know very few democrats. But I’ve only met one person in the last month who thinks Trump is worth considering.


Must be a geographical phenomenon. I too am military,(retired Air Force pilot)..and I can’t speak for all, but around here, most are for Trump. I think Trump is a windbag, and certainly needs to be more specific with his plans, but he is willing to take on DC. I respect him for that, if nothing else. At the end of the day, if we elect another “politician”..we are certainly doomed.

So what?

Nothing Carson does or does not do changes what Ted did.

Everyone attempting to defend this attempts to focus attention on someone other than Cruz for some obvious reason.

Hmmm, I wonder what that reason is...

Cruz sacrificed Carson for purely political reasons.

For some reason, you seem to keep overlooking who started this ball rolling.

Whether or not Carson forgives Cruz has no bearing at all on what Cruz chose to do.

Carson is really showing his ass over this thing. What a disappointment.

Your nuts. It wasn’t Carson asking for the meeting. It was loser Cruz. He hopes to get this behind him. He knows he is lower then pond scum and wants to take advantage of Carson’s christianity and get him to stop the repulsive behavior of Cruz. Carson should tell Cruz to stop the lying robocalls going on in South Carolina against the candidates. I would tell Cruz to get in from of voters in a press conference and decline the win in Iowa for cheating. Promise he will never do it again and say he understand that the delegates will be taken from him.

I will state a "truth".

If Dr. Ben Carson wasn't black, his sorry-@ss fraudulent political campaign would have been booed off the American national stage MONTHS ago.



At two GOP Debate Watch Parties (Quaker Steak & Lube, St. Pete, FL) I have openly praised Dr. Ben Carson and encouraged all attendees to watch his movie "Gifted Hands", although I am an official Ted Cruz Florida Campaigner.

Having said that, Dr. Ben Carson, as brilliant as he is, has run a disasterous Presidential Campaign.



Dr. Ben Carson is now whining about a pathetic fourth-place Iowa finish, BLOWING his previous 4-week straight Iowa polling lead.

And of course, it's ALL Ted Cruz's fault.



I now see Dr. Ben Carson as a political dip-$hiT.

That's right. Dip-$hiT.

Why ?

Dr. Ben Carson's Deer-in-the-Headlight look entering the New Hampshire debate stage was pathetic.

It looked weird. Very strange.

After learning that Ben Carson had an EMPTY campaign bus driving around Iowa, I suspected that Ben Carson might not even ENTER the debate hall.

Donald Trump came to Ben Carson's rescue (the poor whittle thing) and helped Ben Carson walk-out onto the stage.

And Dr. Ben Carson has the AUDACITY to believe that he's sane / emotionally-stable enough to open up the Nuclear Launch Suitcase ?




And then there's his whiney-ass "poor whittle me" slap in the face "act" toward the SECOND public apology offered by Ted Cruz.


I will state a "truth".

If Dr. Ben Carson wasn't black, his sorry-@ss fraudulent political campaign would have been booed off the American national stage MONTHS ago.




And of course, EVERYTHING wrong with Dr. Ben Carson's campaign is Ted Cruz's fault.

What a crock !



It's clearly Ted Cruz's fault that Donald Trump called Ben Carson a violent psychopath ... and Ben Carson did a lousy job of fighting back (/sarcasm-off).

It's clearly Ted Cruz's fault that Ben Carson embraced a lunatic theory about Egyptian Pyramids (/sarcasm-off).




It's clearly Ted Cruz's fault that Ben Carson suspended his Presidntial campaign for two week to promote Carson's new book (/sarcasm-off).

It's clearly Ted Cruz's fault that one-half of Ben Carson's campaign team leadership QUIT two weeks before the Iowa vote (/sarcasm-off).

It's clearly Ted Cruz's fault that Ben Carson wasted two weeks on a STUPID Middle East visit, instead of campaigning in all of Iowa's 99 counties (/sarcasm-off).

It's clearly Ted Cruz's fault that Dr. Ben Carson's debate performances have been PATHETIC ... or worse (/sarcasm-off).

It's clearly Ted Cruz's fault that Dr. Ben Carson announced that Carson was leaving Iowa for a Florida trip (and NOT campaigning in Iowas) ... (/sarcasm-off).



Picture yourself as an Iowa Caucus Voter.



If CNN had floated a political rumor that Donald Trump was going to suspend his campaign after Iowa ... NO ONE WOULD HAVE BELIEVED IT.

Why ?

Donald Trump (like him or not) is a GENUINELY serious Presidential candidate.



If CNN had floated a political rumor that Marco Rubio was going to suspend his campaign after Iowa ... NO ONE WOULD HAVE BELIEVED IT.

Why ?

Marco Rubio (like him or not) is a GENUINELY serious Presidential candidate.




In the 2016 GOP Presidential race, Dr. Ben Carson is simply a black version of Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, Rand Paul, and Jim Gilmore.

Maybe nice guys ... but NONE really serious about getting elected President.


At least Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum have had the grace and dignity to drop-out.



All Dr. Ben Carson wants to do is whine about BLOWING his (once incredible) Iowa lead ...

Maybe Dr. Ben Carson can go contemplate his "political stupidity" in one of those Egyptian Pyramid Grain Silos ...

Get over it Carson.... you were on your way out anyway. Your staff is and has been leaving. GET OVER IT! It’s politics. It’s a caucus. Cruz’s staff did what they should have done.

What made this so egregious, is the Cruz campaign did this to Dr. Ben Carson, an acknowledged brother Christian. Claiming the religious high ground and doing this is a sin without apparent and appropriate penance performed, so to speak. Winning Iowa by 3.something points was more important than an upright testimony.

Cruz begging for Ben’s endorsement? Would he have the nerve?

Talk about his character.

A doctor that is pro-abortion. And claims to be a Christian to boot.

Ben’s not going to move on...he’s waiting for the pay out he’ll get for staying in even if only for the debates to show his face.....

He’s sounding more and more like a whiner and poor sport all around....it’s that nasty victim hood that always surfaces ....
