Donald Trump can't keep his Midwesterners straight.
At a campaign stop in South Carolina on Tuesday, Trump repeatedly referred to retired neuosurgeon Ben Carson as "Obama."
"What Ted Cruz did to Obama, where he said that Obama had quit the race and take our votes," Trump began to say before being corrected by his audience.
In fact, he was referring to an incident in which members of Cruz's campaign spread reports suggesting that Carson was dropping out of the race on the day of the Iowa caucuses. People in the crowd started yelling that it was Carson.
"Right? Is that right?" asked Trump shrugging, before realizing his mistake.
"I'm sorry. Carson. Carson. He said that -- Obama. Obama should've quit the race," Trump said, catching himself.
Trump's dig at President Obama prompted laughter and applause from the crowd. "Wouldn't that have been nice," Trump said.
Obama hails from Chicago and his mother was from Kansas. Carson was born in Detroit. Both men are African-American.

You must like the smell of desperation, your over reaction reeks of it. Just a silly slip really. Chill

70 years old and non stop campaigning. The man is impressive.
I can’t believe I am defending Trump, I really don’t like him.

The mistake is meaningless but his constant attacking speaks volumes. It takes the place of him having to explain his ideas.

Its the forked tongue. It tickles when you take it straight on.
I used to be 100% Cruz. Then I started paying close attention and the facade fell away.
To: Catsrus
Dear God - this is a nothing burger.I love the smell of desperation in the morning.Yep. But it comes with all the trimmings.
If Cruz had said that, there would be forty posts complete with "LIAR!" and other endless Alinsky style snark.

What does that clip have to do with the article? I didn’t see Trump, Carson, or Obama in it. Irrelevant!

The post is to show that his daughter confuses Teddy with somebody she loves! It reveals that Teddy is not what he claims!
Go back and join your buddies at the Teddy Bare Mud Fest!

It is just this sort of Liberal 'change the subject' nonsense that stands in the way of intelligent discussion. Your contribution to the noise component on this site is duly noted. You must be so proud.
but...IRRELEVANT!

It is just this sort of Liberal 'change the subject' nonsense that stands in the way of intelligent discussion. You're joking right? You have yet to reveal intelligence in any of your slimy crap. You and CW are all slime, all the time. You two look good in mud! But, you don't make a dent in Trump popularity. If anything, you help increase his appeal, since you devote your time to the loser...

How does this ad hominem address the topic of this thread?

Once again, you post something that has nothing to do with the thread, and an ad hominem, to boot! (Okay, a really lame ad hominem, but ad hominem, nonetheless).
still...

But, sadly, you are irrelevant. My pic was a hit, so I will repeat it. It reveals that Teddy Bare can't even get his daughter to love him! (Yeah, I have seen all the attempted defenses...)
Teddy Bares will have a hard time Saturday night. Watch Teddy's eyes. He's hoping nobody saw that!
Wait for it, Joe! You're irrelevant!

Even your irrelevant babbling about me calling you on ad hominem attacks is irrelevant to the thread. Nice try, but your posts are still...
