You know what I like most about these articles? The MSM is doing our job for us and are eliminating those who cannot win the Presidency. They just gave Trump and Cruz a big life.

Thank you MSM.

By the way, any new news on Tony Rezcko? Yeah, didn’t think so.

I guess Tony Rezcko is still doing time. What is interesting is how many parallels there are between Obama and Carson, not only on their policies, but also on their criminal friends.

This is be the end of Ben Carson. It will not, of course, be the end of Bill and Hillary Clinton, Barack and Michelle Obama, or Elizabeth Warren.

That’s the good thing about the press declaring somebody is the latest challenger to Trump, it allows the light to come in to expose them and they fade quickly, just like Fio-RINO.

Ben Carson's best friend is a convicted felon. He was convicted for Medical insurance fraud and he and Ben are in business together.

Any criticism of Carson's relationship with a "convicted felon" sounds like "guilt by association."

True. The Democrat party has become so synonymous with crime, graft, and corruption, that they can literally get away with murder.

He gets a pass though because he’s the soft spoken outsider.

Drip...Drip...Drip...

We are finding more and more out about the candidate that is suppose to have such a ‘stunning’ reputation....WOW...

What else are going to find?

I found out from people who have run for City positions that if there is ‘anything’ in your past you don't want discovered, then don't run....it will ruin you in the long run...

I have to question if you can be squeaky clean and be involved in so many businesses with someone in prison for medical insurance fraud. He testified on the guy’s behalf and pled for leniency. Of course his book says a person committing this crime should do a minimum of 10 years.

Bet his friend is hoping for a Presidential pardon.

If he were Hillary Clinton, NONE. I sure hope we don’t sink to that level.

The obama drive by media will do what it can to keep the black vote. I really doubt that this is true.

If you read the article you’ll know that Ben Carson’s campaign manager has said that Carson and Costa are best friends.
