This was not an implosion on the part of Gentle Ben. It was an assassination attempt by Politico, and there is no assurance just yet that it has been successful.
Herman Cain was blindsided back in 2012, by just this kind of tactic, and he was unprepared for the fallout that destroyed his campaign.
The warning is out - Blacks beware, and do not stray too far from the plantation. Advance only in accordance with a liberal agenda, or nothing.
Liberals can be as ruthless as ISIS in maintaining a tight grip on the orthodoxy of groupthink.
This is a deliberate LIE on the part of Politico, and if anyone should drill down on the substance, there is simply no “there” there. Benjamin Carson did meet with General Westmoreland, as an outstanding ROTC graduate, but never was he either offered a “scholarship” to West Point. or attended West Point. The contentions of Politico are meaningless.
And who fed this bit of disinformation to Politico? Rest assured it was not the Democrats, but more certainly, it was someone who claims to be “Republican” - but with an agenda.
So then taking out Carson at this point would help who?
