Attempted murder on 3 different people is just as bad as a child molester in my book. He claims only the belt buckle saved him. Well suppose he had been successful and killed the guy or his own mother? Would anyone still be defending Carson and say its okay?

I dont get why people think its okay. I went after my own mother with a hammer and tried to kill her but I’m a changed man now. Sorry but not even sure I would want him operating on my child.

“I don’t believe he called me a child molester,” Carson said

And with that even Carson has wrecked the press’s and anti-Trump poster’s narrative. LOL!

This is a great example of how Carson will be eaten alive regardless of what people think of him. He goes right off topic at the drop of the hat. The media drives him like a rented mule and Trump is just taking advantage of this. Carson also shot himself in the foot by putting so much detail in his book about his violent insane past.

There is no evidence that The Donald has done any more to “destroy” himself with this latest dust-up with Gentle Ben, than with any of the earlier “meltdowns” which he managed to shake off within a day, sometimes even sooner.

Nor was Gentle Ben much damaged by this surprisingly sharp attack, but which would be as almost nothing should Herself choose to go hammers and tongs after the good doctor.

The upside of this exchange between The Donald and Gentle Ben is that each of them can send a volley and take a hit, and still remain seaworthy. Neither one is by any means yet dead in the water.

The intramural sparring prepares the A Team for facing the conference playoffs.

This Reuters tracking poll is an online survey that is not included in the RCP polling average.

It is amusing that Drudge and Trump followers endlessly post it, yet skip over all the more scientific polls that don’t show him leading by anywhere near this much. In fact, in many of the real polls Trump is losing to Carson - including the most recent McClatchy/Marist polls where Carson leads by 1.

Online polling measures intensity, not depth of support. Not sure how many times this has to be said before Trumpsters get it. Granted this poll is probably better than the Drudge poll or some of the other post-debate push polls, but it is still not regarded as reliable enough to even be included in the RCP polling average. If you believed online polls Ron Paul should be finishing up his 2nd term as president.

Not only in his book see Carson on the media circuit. Yeah, and speaking of the Dems who would eat him up in the general election - like here.

Watch this.

Carson my be an MD, but he’s apparently not an expert on the English language.

‘Pathological’, when used in reference to bad behavior, does indeed connote compulsive, obsessive, chronic and unable to be deterred.

CNN left out the decimal point. Trump ranted about 9.5 minutes.

Doesn't matter. First impressions are hard to lose. Most people will continue to believe Trump likened him to a child molester. Personally, as unhinged as Trump was, and showing off his own belt and such, is as clear evidence that Trump is wildly unworthy of the Presidency. Trump who I have liked and have said I supported in the past has lost me completely.

While his immigration stance attracted me, Trump is a one trick pony. I read something last night that indicated most of Trump's supporters are only aware of his immigration stance and nothing else. However, some political operatives guaranteed that by the time Iowa and NH votes, everyone will be aware of his other beliefs.

I assume that was a hint at a negative TV assault at some point in the future. The only group that has run ads against him is the Club for Growth, but apparently will not be the only one.

Trump didn't ‘call him a child molester’ he used it as a patholocial example and included ‘liar’ which Carson gave us all that ammo to use...if Carson can't take it, (1) he shouldn't have written it and (2) we don't want a wimp in the White House right now...

GO TRUMP 100% BEHIND YOU ALL THE WAY!!!

I watched the entire thing. This headline is a lie! Trump was as laid back and reasonable as you’d ever want. The 9 minutes where he hammered Ben Carson was NOT ranting and raving. It was more in a diagnostic tone than anything. For my money, this is GOPe desperation.

By claiming the entire 90+ minutes was a tirade, hopefully, more people will be induced to go to youtube and watch the whole thing, looking for the “tirade”, which never comes.....and then will come the realization that it was all a lie, intended to hurt Trump.

That argument falls apart when you look at things like his book being #1 on Amazon (Political Conservatism & Liberalism).

Thanks. He knows more about politics than most adults and can’t wait to vote.
He goes in the marines soon and tells me it is his civic duty and a way to contribute to the country.
Even though I have told him the military has changed it is something he has wanted to do since 6th grade.

Lets not forget he supports Puerto Rico becoming a state, thus adding more to the welfare and two more senators.

Big Deal. A book can be #1 overall with as few sales as several thousand copies, much less on some sub sub sub sub category on Amazon. Most of Trump’s supporters are downscale and blue collar, hardly the type to rush out and buy a book.

My book is right here on my desk. And I’m not blue collar.

I wrote most supporters - I did not write not all supporters. Please read the posts.
