Talk about political whiplash. Exactly one week ago, 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney -- in his effort to defeat Donald Trump -- campaigned in Ohio with John Kasich, telling the state's voters to cast ballots for their governor. "Unlike the other people running, he has a real track record," Romney said of Kasich. "He has the kind of record that you want in Washington, and that's why I'm convinced that you're going to do the right thing tomorrow." Today, however, Romney's voice appears on robocalls in Arizona and Utah, telling these voters to side with Ted Cruz -- and...

Three days later, in an interview, Carson sounded as if his support for the front runner was less than heartfelt.

Carson explained his rationale for supporting Trump. “I had to look at what is practical… Is there another scenario that I would have preferred? Yes. But that scenario isn’t available." Besides, he said, even if Trump...

Marco Rubio, the candidate she had previously supported, suspended his campaign. "I thought that Marco Rubio was and is an amazing public servant.

"I think he had a lot of knowledge in terms of what they had to do, but it obviously wasn’t his time....

Ben Carson said on Monday that even if Donald Trump turned out to be a lousy president, he’ll only be in office for four years. "Even if Donald Trump turns out not to be such a great president, which I don't think is the case, I think he's going to surround himself with really good people, but even if he didn't, we're only looking at four years as opposed to multiple generations and perhaps the loss of the American dream forever," Carson told Newsmax's Steve Malzberg. The former Republican presidential contender and retired pediatric neurosurgeon endorsed Trump last week. Carson...

Ben Carson: Before I endorsed Trump, I needed to know that he doesn’t believe some of these outlandish things he says Oh? Which things?I like the idea of Ben Carson, man of integrity and plainspoken utterer of hard truths, being okay with Trump lying outlandishly to the public about what he thinks so long as he doesn’t really believe it. “I needed to know that he could listen to other people, that he could change his opinions, and that some of the more outlandish things that he’s said, that he didn’t really believe those things,” Carson said.When asked which statements...
