This man has my respect and affection. Not many candidates can claim that. God bless this gentleman.

Unlike Trump supporters, Carson supporters understand it was a heat of the moment thing that Cruz had no hand in. They also know that Cruz has apologized on multiple occasions and explained what happened.

You see, Carson supporters are not waiting to jump on Cruz like a pack of Hyenas. They are good, thinking people who want a good person to be their candidate.

How do I know? Because Ben has always been in my Top 3 and I have friends who actually voted for him yesterday.

After the stand-up comedian competition between Rubio and Trump, their votes won't go that way. A couple of them remember Kasich from the 90’s and remember how vital he was in pushing the ‘Contract for America’ (which got me my screen name). They are considering him but lean Cruz.

He’s going to speak on Friday and probably suspend then. He says “no path forward”. Probably looking for deals with the other candidates for an endorsement.

Carson did not say HE was suspending.

I don’t know where Brietbart got the story.

I only say that because the people I know who are for Carson have Trump as their second choice.

He may have caught some flak from some FReepers on here but he was a good man however in the scheme of things this race is not for the weak but the strong and sorry but his time is up, make him a surgeon general though.

- P.S. he would have been a way better man than what we have in office now if he ran back then.

Sucks, and I mean that. Decent intelligent people can’t advance in our political cesspool. I hope Trump picks him for veep.
He would be a perfect counterbalance.

Trump will get 80% of Carson’s constituents.

Carson's supporters are going to go to the guy who compared Carson to a child molester?? They're going to go from Gentle Ben to the Boorish Blowhard??

I was thinking the other day about who'd make a good VP for Trump. If you're going to stick with the political outsider celebrity-cum-builder meme, Mike Rowe might be fun.

” They’re going to go from Gentle Ben to the Boorish Blowhard??”

Yes, when Trump comes out and thanks him for a few things, and welcomes him to his team. Trump is harsh on his opponents, but when the game is over, he has nothing but good to say about them. And he means it.
I think he respects Ben.

LOL...seriously ?

In what universe ?

Carson support is primarily christian conservative...

Trump likened him to a child molester...

I don't know who will pick up his support between Cruz and Rubio or Kasich...but Trump will get the smallest share...
