WASHINGTON -- No one is going to beat Donald Trump for the GOP presidential nomination, Ben Carson's former campaign manager said Wednesday.
"He's got the support out there right now, and unless something cataclysmic happens, he's going to win," Barry Bennett, who recently resigned from the Carson team, told CNN.
"At this point, it's getting harder and harder to see how Donald Trump is not our nominee," added Bennett, who refused to say his former boss was the best candidate at this point.
"In the end, people have decided to go with loud. So we've got to get used to this new reality," Bennett said in a reference to Trump.

I AM a Trump supporter and I KNOW he is right.
After 8 years of getting dumped on by the kenyan people want a candidate who counter punches. Hard.
Loud and correct.
He is perhaps right....I think Trump is certainly the favorite now....but it wouldn’t take something cataclysmic to change it. There are factors at play right now that could indeed change it over a period of weeks.
Trump also carries the handicap of extra high expectations....which for him is good news because you can find a bit of inevitability in his winning....but if something happens that causes that inevitability to be shaken, a front runner can tumble fast.
Not saying it would happen, just that it wouldn’t take a black swan event of major proportions to change the trajectory of this campaign.
Hopefully Carson will drop out so0n, making this a Trump/Cruz race.
Yeah, I don’t know what’s going to happen, but I wouldn’t doubt there’s a backroom thing going to happen to put Jeb at the front.
He was the establishment boy long before any Republican campaigns were officially underway. There’s been a lot of money thrown his way. Lots of good ol’ boys stand to lose a lot of moolah if Trump wins the nomination.
I bet my oldest son (24 years old) back in 2014 that the national race was going to be Jeb vs. Hillary, becauuse Jeb was the only one who could lose against Empress Cankles. I told him I didn’t want to win that bet, but he still busted my cojones, asking “ARE YOU SAYING THE DEMOCRATS CHOOSE THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE?!”, to which I said, “Yep, pretty much”.
When the MSM started polishing Jeb’s shoes early on, I think my son got the message.
He appears right. My biggest disappointment the past two presidential cycles was the failure of our candidates to fight. I’m bloody sick of nominating “gentlemen” who will not call a lying son-of-a-bitch what he is. They don’t have to use those words but the sure as hell have to use the sentiment. I want none of this “he’s a good man but in over his head” and similar nonsense.
The fat lady sings for President Trump.
Brokered convention
Well this guy is awake at least. Its almost showtime and Trump is the runaway leader of almost every poll. The only people who don’t believe the polls are the ones that are losing in the polls.
Don't forget 25 years of Republican cowardice and submissiveness.
Well said.
For the longest time, the most aggressive response from Republicans was, "I challenge you to a debate!"
It's refreshing to see somebody with power and influence actually FIGHT BACK.
Pardon me if I do not take the word of a failed campaign manager on who is going to win... He may be right, but there is a long way to go before this is decided. On the bright side, if he is right I get to sleep in on Election day.
Commas are your friend.
“On the bright side, if he is right I get to sleep in on Election day.”
LOL you and me both!
Loud and Proud.

IT NEEDS TO BE SAID AGAIN
I think so too.
