No need to make an excuse for it. It is irrelevant trivia told in a “Come to Jesus” account of his life. AFAIC only a moron would think the details of an anecdote like that needs to be “verified.”

The person who could shred Hillary in a debate is Cruz. However I think Trump could beat her in the general, and a Trump/Cruz ticket could beat her in a landslide.

I want our candidate to shred her candidacy and forever put to bed the Clinton,(so called) legacy. I would like to see our candidates go after her instead of each other and may the best one win.

"On a different note, does it bother the Trump supporters (sort of life O’Reilly supporters) tat he only attacks Republicans and happily gives money to Democrats?"

Yep. That's why I have Trump somewhere between Lindsay Graham and Jim Gilmore on my "preferred candidate" list.

Though I will reluctantly enthusiastically vote for him against Hillary or Bernie in the general.

OK, was he a seriously violent kid, or not? If not then he cooked up the lie to make himself sound tough.

Did he indeed have dinner with Gen. Westmoreland who may or may not have told Ben he could get him a way into West Point (which is certainly plausible considering his reported standing with ROTC), or not? Investigators say they can not find any record of Westmoreland being anywhere near Detroit on the dates Ben claims.

Was his story about the Yale test trick real or made up?

I don’t want a POTUS that tells me any lies. I don’t want a POTUS that has had a violent past. Are those traits in a POTUS OK with you?

A person who overcomes rage and anger and changes his life should be congratulated and not ridiculed as some morans have.
Ben carson renowned surgeon and became the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital at age 33.
Both Ben and his brother experienced difficulty in school. Ben fell to the bottom of his class, and became the object of ridicule by his classmates. He developed a violent and uncontrollable temper, and was known to attack other children at the slightest provocation. The poverty he lived in and the difficult times he experienced in school seem to exacerbate the anger and rage.

Determined to turn her sons around, Sonya limited their TV time to just a few select programs and refused to let them go outside to play until they’d finished their homework. She was criticized for this by her friends, who said her boys would grow up to hate her. But she was determined that her sons would have greater opportunities than she did.
He realized his future depended on the choices he made and the degree of energy he put into his life. Seeing that living in the inner city was only temporary, Carson believed he had the full power to change his situation.

As far as I know all of those stories are true. I don't have a problem with someone having done bad things in the past and then turning their lives around so that's not an issue to me. I think Christians call that forgiveness.

Was his story about the Yale test trick real or made up?

Apparently Yale has backed it up.

Even though I told you exactly what my point was you still seem to be missing it. To the point of taking one sentence of my first post out of context in order to create a straw man you can fight. That's pretty close to lying.

Right. Cynicism. No reason to vote for something better.

No. You sound like an SJW.

Do you have the ability to think beyond stereotypes?

I fail to follow your logic. You actually have no logic. Therefore , I suspect you to be a Soros troll.

Paid by the line?
