At least Trump isn’t supporting transgendered junk


Actually, he did worse.

To be fair to Mr Trump, it’s possible he didn’t know it wasn’t really a girl

Why on earth did he not run for the MD senate seat being vacated by Babs?

Actually, I doubt Carson's followers are going to go to Cruz after what Cruz did to him in Iowa. Or to Rubio who helped do it to him in Iowa. I think Carson's supporters will mostly go to Trump.

But to the extent that Carson can pull votes from any of the other candidates and keep them below the "Threshold" for getting any delegates, it increases the liklihood that Trump will win the majority of delegates and be able to claim a state as one of the 8 necessary to get nominated.

So I'm not sure, but yes I think it helps Trump but not in the way you were thinking.

If I have to explain it, you wouldn’t understand it anyway.

Try me, Pajama boy. Unlike most Trump supporters I graduated high school. And college. And I’m gainfully employed. But go ahead, enlighten me.

Wow. Quite a debater you are. No wonder you support a person like Cruz who can’t debate either. You two belong together. Just be careful getting to close to him or you may get molested.

Ben Carson ... a man that I once genuinely respected ...

I now consider Ben Carson a far worse example of an "I'm black and entitled to a free lunch" attitude than Herman Cain in 2012 ...

Let me be clear (Marco Rubio's often-used phrase) ... Ben Carson has been on an EXTENDED book tour since he announced for President.

And the idea that Donald Trump ... or Mickey Mouse ... would be stupid enough to ask Ben "Egyptian Pyramids" Carson to even SERVE in his-her administration is DELUSIONAL.



Good Dr. Ben Carson is simply for sale, like a whore in a cheap dress at Woolworth ...

Your post # 9 is right on.
What gets me about Carson is he has never spoken out about Obamas abuse of the Bully Pulpit and the resultant conflicts plus assults and murders that came from it. Begining with revenge for Treyvon Martin attacks on non blacks by black gangbangers which resulted in about a score (20) of deaths and serious injuries.

One who has spoken out about it is Mulwaukee county Sheriff Clarke who by the way is running for re election this month. Primary Feb 16th .

When Carson held a brief but slight lead in the Iowa polls Trump set out and accused him of being everything from a pedophile, crazy, and questionable surgeon involved in abortions. Trump was unrelenting and cost Carson his slight polling lead during the November lead up.

Does he seriously believe Trump would consider him for VP ?
The man shoud really formally drop out and use the remaining time to fund raise and clean up his campaign debts.

It is ridiculous that anyone should have to drop out after 2 states.

and besides, it is Carson's decision to make, not the writer's. I applaud Dr. Carson for even taking on the challenge. It's rare to get good and decent people to put themselves out there.

I think the Cruz meme is ridiculous. Trump said Dr. C was pathological. “Child molester” pathological.
Cruz repeated what CNN reported not what Trump was spewing.

I agree. This should be Dr. Carson's decision.

btw, some say that Webb of Virginia is thinking getting back into the Democratic race. Apparently he regrets having dropped out.

Jesus, your an idiot.

Your? You're. Makes the point of calling someone an idiot more effective. :p

Although Dr. Carson is not my first choice, he has made a number of comments that needed to be said. I also wish Fiorina and Christie had stayed in. I liked the former taking on Hillary and the latter added spunk and humor. The take-down of Robot Rubio will become a classic.

Whether or not Carson drops out, he’s done. It’s hard to imagine him getting more than 3% in SC.

Still, that’s 3% that Cruz needs in SC.

Cruz is wisely pushing the idea that he is the only candidate who can beat Trump. And he’s right. Be has the bona fides and the resources.

Hopefully people in SC won’t throw their votes away on Carson. And hopefully Bush and Kasich will drop out soon as well.

He can stay in a bit longer. Jeb Bush needs to go take care of mother IMO.

-— The closer we get to a 2 way race, the more vulnerable Trump becomes in the primary, and he knows it. -—

Bingo.

His supporters haven’t figured it out yet.

Trump hit his hard ceiling of 35% in liberal NH. He won’t do better in conservative states.
