Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson on Sunday said he would not want someone such as Donald Trump to be commander in chief.
Mr. Carson said Mr. Trump, the front runner for the GOP presidential nomination, acted rashly last week when he immediately gave credence to news reports that Mr. Carson had fabricated parts of his life story as told in the book 'Gifted Hands,' which chronicled his rise from severe poverty in a Detroit ghetto to become an acclaimed neurosurgeon.
Mr. Trump tweeted that the reports exposed 'one of many lies' by Mr. Carson and called it the 'beginning of the end' of the Carson campaign.
'What does it say about people who immediately jump on the bandwagon when they hear something bad rather than waiting and finding out what the truth is?' Carson asked.
'Let me put it this way,' Mr. Carson said. 'I would not be anxious to have a commander in chief who acted that way.'
Mr. Carson has remained Mr. Trumps closest rival in the polls for weeks.
The news reports raised questions about Mr. Carsons claims that he was offered a scholarship to West Point and whether he tried to stab a classmate in a schoolyard brawl. Mr. Carson has fiercely defended all of the details of his life story.
Mr. Trump, who followed Mr. Carson on the show, said that the stories of violence from Mr. Carsons childhood were disturbing, whether true or fabricated.
'Look, I hope it all works out for him. Its a strange situation, though, when you talk about hitting your mother in the head with a hammer and hitting your friend in the face with a padlock, when you talk about stabbing somebody but the [belt buckle] saved them,' Mr. Trump said.

As a BUSINESSMAN to build his company yes, wouldn’t you if you were as big as he is? And don’t say no, there isn’t a person alive that doesn’t think of themselves first when they own their own business!!!
I don’t doubt that he is smart and knows what he is doing, as in Carson, but Trump could have invested his inheritance in a hedge fund and come about the same. He probably just wouldn’t be as prone to obsessively and pathologically lying about his net worth in that scenario.
He hasn’t said a word about his sister being in the Supreme Court and you don’t have much faith in Cruz if you don’t think he couldn’t get the others to see what he sees...
He is a politician and that’s what they do....
There are many causes for vitamin B12 deficiency.
Surprisingly, two of them are practices often undertaken to improve health:
1. Vegetarian diet
2. weight-loss surgery.

A primary sign of low B12 levels is a constant lack of energy.
Oct 26, 2015 - On Friday in Miami, Trump had ripped Carson for having even less energy than Jeb Bush, whom Trump has called low-energy.
What do you mean ‘pathological liar’? Trump has never lied, he has been the most truthful of the candidates....Trump did say that Carson has ‘pathological behaviors’ is that what your referring to?
Ben Carson DOES have some...questionable...things in his book, even if not the one thing that Politico made up.
“Ben Carson Doubts Donald Trump’s Temperament to be Commander In Chief”..........
And Carson, “Casper Choclate Milk Toast” does have the temperament? ReallY? I’m afraid that Carson would be sleeping at the switch when the need arises. He is a “nice guy” but not the leader this country so badly needs right now.
While I think Christ and the apostles were probably Mediterranean, there are iconoclastic paintings that go way back that possibly shows them as black.
Um, yes he did say “a word” about his sister being in the Supreme Court. This is what I was talking about with the total lack of vetting of the man. I understand not everyone is going to catch everything.

And it’s not that I don’t trust Cruz. It’s that I don’t trust a system or a court in which it’s basically a straight “party line” vote and on most issues you know almost 100% which way every single one of those justices is voting before they even bring the case up to vote on.
Not to mention that we have a nasty habit of selecting, or trying to select, people who can be controlled in one way or another because they have too many skeletons in their closet and if they don’t see things and do things the way they’re told those skeletons will be brought out for all to see. Exhibit A on that would probably be John Roberts.
If you think Trump is not grossly exaggerating his net worth 10 billion and that those numbers are backed by facts and figures or in any way tethered to reality you might be the only one.
Like he quoted to the “bankrupt” Forbes: âIâm running for president,â Trump told the magazine in an interview that it says lasted almost two hours. âIâm worth much more than you have me down [for]. I donât look good, to be honest. I mean, I look better if Iâm worth $10 billion than if Iâm worth $4 billion.â
And WHO is supporting Trump? Which super pac has got behind him telling him what he can say and can’t?
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE HIS SUPER PAC!!!
What about all the others? Are they self funding? Do they also walk on water in your opinion? Are they the ‘saints’ of the day, do they hold their finger up to see which way the wind is blowing? YES all the rest of them do...
Go ahead and not pick someone that can straighten this Country out and lets see where you are 4 years from now!!!
So he said she ‘would’ be, so there ya go, Trump’s going to run right in and put her before Congress to be a Supreme Court Judge...right....LMAO...
I’d rather have Trump dealing with them.
I like Ben Carson. He seems a good man. But my biggest doubt about him is whether or not he has the temperament to do what is best for the nation even if it means taking out those who would have no problem taking all of us out. Hearing that someone (Glen Beck?) compared Carson to Carter, was an uh huh moment for me in that Carson does remind me of Carter.
I have a great idea...why don’t you find the paper and show us all how much Trump is really worth....
The only problem with that is every one wouldn’t believe it because the man has spent his whole life building his fortune and has contributed to every campaign and person that needed something...
And now he’s running to Save America, after this idiot has ruined it, and is running on his own money....are the others doing that? OH HELL NO!!!
I’ve seen paintings of him as blond/blue, and since I don’t know, I just go with the Hebrew characteristics. In the long run, I guess it doesn’t matter.
Didn’t Trump say his very liberal sister would make a great Supreme Court jusge?
I think Carson is a combination of Obama and Carter. He supports amnesty gun control, TPP, is buddies with Sharpton and Farrakhan, wants statehood for Puerto Rico and has a Pacifist view of national security. Bad News.
The implication is that her view of the law is great. Sorry you missed that, but not surprising.
He said she “would” didn’t say he was running right out to do it.....
