The super PAC supporting neurosurgeon Ben Carson for GOP president has seen a surge of donations since his appearance Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” where Mr. Carson said he wouldn’t advocate for a Muslim to be president of the United States.
“We sent out an email to Carson supporters, and we’ve never had an email raise so much money so quickly — it’s unbelievable,” said John Philip Sousa IV, who chairs the 2016 Committee super PAC. “My phone has exploded over the last 48 hours — of people wanting me to pass on to Dr. Carson how much they respect his truthfulness and believe in the American system, and how absolutely not should anyone who believes in Sharia law come close to the White House.

Carson wasn’t asked to defend Trump’s right to run for POTUS.
Carson asked whether a Muslim could, or should be allowed to run for POTUS.
He simply answered the question more competently than Trump. That doesn’t make him part of a GOPe conspiracy against Trump.
Trump mumbles contradictions —Muslims are a problem! We’re looking into it! Of course Muslims can run for POTUS! I love Muslims! Then he says it’s Obama’s job to defend Obama.
Response? Hooray!! Brilliant! He really socks it to those bastards! Trump’s the only one who stands up for what he believes!
Carson answers the issue question, by addressing the issue. Shariah is not compatible with the Constitution. We don’t allow theocracies here. Boom.
Response? Boo! Hiss! Somebody put him up to that! Carson shouldnt even be running for POTUS anyway! Who does this guy think he is? Why isn’t he defending Trump?
The weird logic astounds and frightens me.
2nd line should read, Carson WAS asked...
