“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 told The Hill.

Is Trump going to be throwing Carson under the bus pretty soon? Here’s another oddity from the good doctor.

“The way I look at it, 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,” the former GOP presidential candidate said on Newsmax TV’s “The Steve Malzberg Show...” -Dr. Ben Carson

Won’t matter. He’s their alpha male. I’ve never seen such slavish Republican devotion to anybody. Such worship is the usual and expected practice of the dimmos. Trying to get a dimmo to bad mouth their “dear leader” is a sheer impossibility, because such things qualify as blasphemy as far as they’re concerned.

Like I’ve stated in other threads, I just hope the Trump supporters on FR are honest enough with themselves to articulate all the crappy things about him (and there are many), that they’re not worshiping him like the dimmos worship their leadership. We need to reserve our worship for Someone who is worthy of worship. NONE of the presidential candidates are worthy of worship. Period.

How would that help determine which of his stated positions he “doesn’t really believe in”?

Does he put asterisks next to the ones he doesn’t really mean or something?

“Why not go to trumps website and read his Position statements?”

you mean the ones Trump said he hasn’t read?

This is why Sleepy Doctor is out of the face.

He’s nice and he’s book-smart, but he’s not so smart.

If you don’t believe it from the horse’s mouth, then you are simply in denial.

At this point no one cares what their platform says. It has gotten personal.

but even if he didn’t, we’re only looking at four years

And then what? Does the good Doctor have a plan to salvage 2020 if Trumps first term goes sideways?

Ben Carson has the unique ability to exert his whole foot in his mouth.

And either you and others don’t or won’t do your homework, or you are NOT a conservative. Take your choice. Cruz will NEVER get my vote.

What he said doesn’t help, but at least his stabbing days are over, unlike Beck. And he’s not fasting, or swearing Ted Lose in either.

Trump all things to all ppl. He’s pro-life ....or as he said in the past “very pro choice.” He’s against corruption except when he was buying influence by his own admission. He’s going to make America great again, which means whatever you want it to mean. He’s persecuted because he’s such a great Christian: Except when he divorces his wives, commits adultery and then can’t think of a single thing he ever needed to ask God forgiveness for. Trump, all things to all ppl. Make Murica great again!

The American Indian perhaps observed that prairie burned by lightning strikes would soon yield green pastures. By mimicking nature and burning the prairie in desirable locations, the growth of fresh shoots of highly nutritional native grasses was insured.

We need a good fire to rid ourselves of the weeds that have taken root.

That is the 3rd time Carson has said something a bit strange, in regards to Trump, this week.

1. There are 2 Donald Trumps.
2. I (Carson) will be in advisory role in his administration. (He implied he was offered it for his support).
3. Trump doesn’t really believe the outlandish things he says.

People say Carson is likable, because he is trustworthy and honest, so what does this all come down to?

Strange days, politics: the “silly season”, “strange bedfellows”, etc.

Just gets weirder everyday.

The Red State article was written by a hack who prefaced his article with:

“What Carson essentially said was this.....”

I mean really

And the Cruzatics ran with it as an interview
