Ben should have bowed out gracefully without making a fool of himself.

The stereotypes are almost palpable.

RE: Keep the hammer away from Ben

Is that like being a child molester? /s

Good to see Carson acknowledges that Cruz would be a disaster for America.

It's more likely Carson acknowledging Trump was willing to give a "fluid" promise of a position in government in exchange for a lukewarm endorsement.

I have to wonder if Dr.Carson even said this, with the lying media now days...

“Vote Trump. Not quite a bad as Hillary, and can be ousted in four years.”

If, God forbid, Trump somehow ends up as the nominee, and if I somehow decide on the morning of November 8 to hold my nose and pull the lever for him, that would be my thinking.

“Hello, Ben?” “Hey, this is Donald, STFU. Thanks, have a nice day.”

Carson is right. His comment is for the Cruz supporters who are #nevertrump. If hillary win, thats 2-4 judges taht will effect a generation. If Trump win, its only for 4 years if he was bad

<><><><

Never, in the history of mankind, has there been such a tepid show of support for the presidential candidate who has apparently promised you a spot in the administration.

Four years in which **Trump** could nominate those 2-4 lousy judges--like his pro-abort sister, who Trump said would be "phenomenal" on the court--that will affect a generation.

And/or paid off your campaign debts, etc. Trump has freely admitted that he pays off politicians to get their influence.

Carson never struck me as someone who was terribly bright. Could not Trump’s political consultants give him a written statement and coach him on how to speak to the press so that he does not come off this obtuse?

Sadly, he’s right. Even if Trump’s in for 8 years it will not be enough to turn back the long term move to big government corruption and national moral decline that has been in the works for decades. Maybe be can slow it down a little but I fear that’s the most we can hope for from any candidate.

Everything Trump proposes seems to be reactive - using executive orders and federal government agencies and programs to do "good things" to undo the damage Obama has done. I'd rather be hearing him talk about proactive things like election reform and forcing federal agencies to be more transparent and prevent them from destroying evidence of their wrongdoing. We don't need our own Obama, we need to never have another one.

Sorry for the intrusion but thought I might fix something you said. What? You're assuming "bad" won't include SC nominees by an unprincipled deal maker?...

It’s funny that you believe that a corrupt, morally repugnant man like Trump is gonna turn this country around. It ain’t gonna happen. Trump will be like Biff in ‘Back to the Future II’. Count on it.

So sad for Carter, now he can't even go to his grave knowing that he holds that record.

With Hillary its 100% certain it will be bad. With Trump there is a trust issue. You think he’s fake, but he said he will elect Conservative judges, so there still a chance no matter how small of him acting on his promise

Perhaps I will send you a bottle of Flor de Caña to make it easier for you in November. For tonight I will be drinking a bottle of Bodega rum from Venezuela. It is aged 6 years. No toilet paper down there but for some strange reason, good rum is still available. I started tippling last night and will continue while watching the election returns tonight.

BTW, I have VIDEO of me being picked up by 2 women at the rum festival I went to in early February. I was scared to post it because I had to get my wife (whom I asked NOT to go to the festival so one of us could drive home) in the right frame of mind about what happened. Actually I was minding my own business, reviewing the rums (mostly bad) on camera when the 2 women asked to take my pic for some reason. Anyway, afterwards my wife was sort of pissed off when I first told her. Then I sort of talked her out of her anger...until she saw the video a few days ago. Then I had to work on her mind again until I had her laughing about the situation. ...She won't be laughing if she ever sees the photo the blonde woman took of me and the brunette. Hee! Hee!
