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.

Another lovely waste of bandwidth, but still
Irrelevant to the topic of this thread.
None of your nonsense will make it otherwise.

Another lovely waste of bandwidth, but stillYes, Joe. All of your mud and slime is a tremendous waste of bandwidth. You have little positive to claim about your Teddy Bare, so you and your ilk continue to do anything to slime the best candidates.
You can try to fight the tide, but eventually you will be swept away!
Trump is a winner. Ted is a LOSER. Your boy is bought and paid for. Dirty Teddy. Dirty Teddy bares!

Who is paying you to clutter this site with irrelevant pictures in ad hominem posts which are
IRRELEVANT
to the topic of Trump having difficulty correctly identifying Obama versus Ben Carson?
Your muddy teddy bear is...
IRRELEVANT!

The thread isn't about the calendar, it's about facial recognition...or something like that....

As if nobody trying to juggle a zillion facts ever had a short lapse - he was quick on the uptake and showed a sense of humor in doing it - F for thinking this relevant in a bad way - it showed a good side of him if anything.

The MSM will rip Trump apart on the race issue when they decide to go after him in the general election. He's given them too much ammunition.
Hey, look! Is that Carson, or is it Obama?

The guy is loosing it. It will not be long before he is admitted to a hospital for observation.
I think maybe some of his supporters will join him there and it will not be for the rally but the treatment.
He will be lucky to make it to Super Tuesday.

Oh I agree with you!! But, he does have a private plane and gets to sleep in his own bed a lot more often than the others, including 74 YEAR OLD BERNIE!
And he’s not doing the ground campaign himself....that is the most taxing part. But, he doesn’t need to, he has name recognition, so I don’t blame him.
I’m just saying.....still....dementia... ;0)

Trump is very thin skinned and this primary race is a walk in the park with the GOP.
Just wait IF & UNTIL he enters the general election with the Dem’s. They will tear him apart and attack attack attack his family including his wife and both sons.
He won’t be able to handle it.
They shouldn’t attack his family. BUT They WILL. It will drive him BONKERS. ala Ross Perot and the conspiracy to ruin his daughters wedding in 1992.
