Donald Trump hit back at GOP rival Ben Carson on CNN’s New Day after Carson questioned the authenticity of Trump’s newly-announced Christian faith.
“He is a man of faith, everybody knows that,” host Chris Cuomo began. “It’s a cornerstone of his existence and certainly his motivation to run.”
“Well I don’t know that,” Trump responded. “I had not heard that. I have known of Ben Carson for a long time and never heard faith was a big thing until just recently when he started running. So I don’t know about Ben Carson’s faith.”
“He’s a Seventh-Day Adventist!” Cuomo protested.
“All of a sudden he becomes the great religious figure. I don’t think he’s a great religious figure. I saw him yesterday quoting on humility, and it looked like he memorized it two minutes before he made the quote. So don’t tell me about Ben Carson,” Trump responded.

I don't know the answer to that question.
This is all part of the plan. With his fake ‘unforced errors’, Donald (the herald) will give way to the one he has blazed the path for ... Cruz.
Actions speak louder than words.
Since the leftist media can’t bring down the Donald on his own, now their trying to put decisiveness between the two non establishment outsiders. These lowlifes so will stoop to anything.
Then you are willfully blind.
Carson is a SDA. He should take Sabbaths off, when campaigning, but that would put him at a disadvantage every week. So, it’s obvious Carson has decided to put aside the Sabbath for the campaign.
Having said that, Christ made it clear that doing good on the Sabbath makes it permissible to do things not normally allowed. This would include campaigning on the Sabbath, if you want to do the country good.
Carson questioned Trump’s faith .....and in so doing touted how humble, he, Carson, is.
Humility doesn’t talk like that.
Wish were it was so......
Meanwhile, this thread should be prime “list building” territory.
That dog won't hunt, Bobby. Trump's words are accurately quoted. Deal with it.
Helpful hint: No matter how many times the Men Seeking Men medium akses you to respond to Trump's "attack", don't take the bait and piss on Trump's leg. That's what they WANT you to do.
Instead, use the occasion to state your agenda. (p.s. hint: focus on your idea about Health Savings Accounts and Medical Savings Accounts).
You have to be as sly as a fox and cunning as s serpent, Dr. Carson. That's in the Bible.

No, DT is wrong. Ben Carson is a very devout Christian. DT needs to check the block of wood in his eyey.
There are a few major reasons to prefer Trump to Carson as a nominee.
But damn, sincerity of faith is not one of them. DT does not want to go down this road. It’s foolish.
But I’ve got to think twice

And I know all the games you play
Because I play them too

Maybe .... I don’t know Ben Carson. All I know is what people say and what you see on television. Do you know him personally? I’m not saying Trump is right or wrong... I’m just saying I don’t know because I don’t know Carson.
It’s more than a little frustrating. Trump needs to remember that there is more than the nomination to win. He needs to remember that to win the ELECTION he will need all these people that he’s attacking in such a personal way.
It’s one thing to attack a person’s views or actions. He should not get personal.
heh, heh
Would love to hear the Boss’s thoughts in light of his most recent RE: Go Trump, go
I don't know, either. But I saw the video of Carson making his comments, and he comes across as smug. I got the impression that his new-found fame and his rise in the polls has gone to his head.
It's worth watching. It made a very bad impression on me.
OTOH, Trump's comments aren't any better. Both should know that humility is a characteristic that someone else should ascribe to you.
Interesting point......post 8.
