On CNN today, Donald Trump had another moment that is sure to haunt news and social media for days, when he made a comparison between Dr. Ben Carson and child molesters:
He said he's pathological, somebody said he's got pathological disease, other people said he said in the book, I haven't seen it but I know it's in the book that he's got a pathological temper or temperament. That's a big problem because you don't cure that. That's like, you know, I could say, they say you don't cure, as an example, child molester. You don't cure these people. You don't cure a child molester. There's no cure for it. Pathological, there's no cure for that.
Trump added "I'm not saying anything, I'm not saying anything other than pathological is a very serious disease," but he was arguably well past the point of no return by then. Trump supporter Jeffrey Lord was on later to discuss the comment and said the Trump just "reached out for something that he thought was pathological."
Yes, well .. reach better, guy. When a CNBC moderator made a comic book comparison with Trump, the Donald and his fans were outraged. Imagine if that moderator had said this about Trump.
The option they are giving us is that either Trump is too dumb to know comparing pediatric brain surgeon Dr. Carson to a child molester would be outrageous and go viral, or he knew that's exactly what would happen and maliciously made the comparison. That's what we're left with. Dumb or malicious.
Unless you want to chose both.
Since he can write his own prescriptions, his records won’t show what drugs he is on. He appears to be on some sort of antipsychotic drug.

since trump donated to the clintons I take him as seriously as I do Dora the Explora
Thanks for the post and watched the interview on CNN, Fox and his Iowa speech tonight.
Trump get an advanced copy of Ben's next book?
I worked at the state hospital for many years, and this is something I also picked up on - he is lethargic at times, much like what I saw in so many patients who were on numerous anti-psychotic drugs.
“I suspect Trump did not accidentally let this slip. He doesn’t typically make such errors.
A shot over the bow?”
Or is this part of the grand plan. The beginning of Trump’s downward spiral.
No, he seems compelled to dodge and weave on answers.
It is a different time, than when Reagan was President. His soft joking way could cut the marxists plans. Marxists still had to pretend to love the US. People were intelligent to grasp it.
Now after years of propaganda and PC education, the democrat party is marxist.
If Trump can eliminate his competition, then he can deport illegal aliens, then he can get Mexico to build a wall on our southern border and get rid of unnecessary government agencies and employees and kill the marxist global agenda. I don’t want someone nice.
GOPe establishment, democrat marxists, the media lap dogs all need to be firmly routed.
Class would have dismissed poor Carson as awful sick, and quickly moved on to constructive replacement talk. Pandering to the kind of mindset that is entertained by a candidate even briefly dwelling on Carson's own admission of having pathological tendencies, let alone choosing the single most offensive type of pathology, child molestation, as an image to introduce into the conversation --
-- Trump is out of his league. And Carson should never have been a serious contender in the first place. The Republican party is a total joke. That Cruz even belongs to it is sad. The party will betray every limited government conservative in America, given half the chance.
I watched the interview. No where does Trump say Ben Carson is sort of like a child molester.
Most of America wants liberalism. they just want in a package that allows them to lie to themselves about their own actual beliefs.
“No matter what” is a liberal doctrine. “Anything goes” can replace it 100% of the time.
“Lesser Evil” is a liberal doctrine because it implies 1: evil should be considered a viable option, and 2: Why would someone say “lesser evil instead of “I will accept a lesser conservative”? they ALREADY defaulted to liberalism being the first option.
They WANT liberalism.
“No, he seems compelled to dodge and weave on answers.”
And blink. Morse code?
Fair? Carson has lead an exemplary life for the past 50 years. Trump is a Liberal scumbucket who is only in the race to get his friend Hillary elected.
Why do you support Amnesty?
He’s disturbing to watch.
I support Cruz, but Trump is a lying Liberal scumbucket. Any Conservative who believes a word he says is a fool.
There is NOTHING more conservative than stopping a permanent democrat/marxist voting majority and doing whats best for the people and the country. By virtue of Mr.Trumps position on illegal immigration he Trumps all others conservatism.
In your dreams.
He's a shoe-in.
“Hillary will roast Carson and his defeat will be worse than McCain or Dole.”
No argument there.. but that doesn’t change the fact Trump is no Reagan.
Neither is Cruz.
