Ben Carson on Trump's Taunts: "I Have Plenty of Energy'
nbcnews.com ^ | Shawna Thomas

Dr. Ben Carson continues to be calm about his presidential campaign, despite his new status as republican front-runner in Iowa and target of Donald Trump's taunts.

In an interview to air on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday, Carson responded to Donald Trump referring to him as "sleeping" and "super low energy" by saying that "it's fine" if Trump wants to attack him for his campaign style.

"I don't get into the mud pit and I'm not going to be talking about people. I will tell you, in terms of energy, I'm not sure that there's anybody else running who has spent 18 or 20 hours intently operating on somebody," Carson said.

Who is running the Carson operation ?
It appears to be a little too organized to be just spontaneous ?

This Sousa character running the Carson show appears to be a DC insider .

Apparently Dr. Carson understands the value of meekness. Not suprising.

Call came through today on the business line which we did not answer. When one of the gals looked up the number on-line it was from someone from Carson’s group calling. Maybe a robocall? Never have donated or contacted his campaign about anything.

IMO if he has a place at all in anyone’s cabinet it would be as Surgeon General, although I’ve never been quite certain why we even need anyone in that area.

There is no such thing as his outsider image. He’s the answer the GOP is fronting to the Black / minority issue.

He’s a good man in many areas. But he’s an establishment product without question. People need to do their research on this guy.

I do not like the idea that Carson agrees with Al Sharpton’s views. He did say he would go about them differently. Not happy with anyone that agrees with Al Sharpton.

The more I learn about Carson the more he scares me.

I don’t think I even want him in a Trump administration anymore.

One of the funniest movies ever made. It is a quirky take on Homer’s Odyssey set in the 1930’s. George Clooney played the lead in a role that I would never have imagined him to play. I laughed until I ached.

It shows you where his discernment is.

We might agree with liberas in very limited areas and circumstances. But to associate ones self with an icon of liberal idiocy during a presedantial campaign?

You wanna know what that tells me? It’s a continuation of the establishment ‘unity’ crap that will ultimately end up with a GOP/Dem ticket to ‘unify’ the country and save it from Evil Trump, Evil Cruz and Evil conservatives.

Bank on it.

I know....he’s not the ‘nice man’ everyone thinks he is...

Trump knows...he’ll have him crying same as Jebby....maybe he needs to send them both towels, come to think of it...

I agree. Anyone associating themselves with Sharpton’s views has never heard the story of the fly and the spider or at least accepted such happens in the human world.

Who is donating all the dark money to his PAC ?

That is the real question.

The only unsolicited e-mails I've gotten so far this year are Ben Carson e-mails, so my guess is that he's in tight with the GOP-e enough to be on one of their lists from back when I was a Pubbie.

Sorry Ben, but you aren't one of my "possibles" as of this past week.

I think Dr. Carson is confusing energy with stamina.

“Carson is a gun grabber and a huge Amnesty proponent...
...I have had enough from the current gun grabber and amnesty Muslim”

Next, Carson will proclaim he’ll just pick up where Obama left off. He would prolly be better off running alongside Hillary! Yep, steal our guns and then have all the invaders steal our jobs.

But remember, “he’s a nice guy”

Received a paperback in the mailbox today entitled The Great Controversy. We did not order it. It looks like a 7 day Adventist end of the world book. Carson and his DR. pals here have our address. Anyone else get the book?

“The number of supposed conservatives willing to vote for this guy does not bode well for America. Then again look how many would accepr Rubio and Fiorina as well.”

Those supposed conservatives had better wake up, and fast!

Then who was the Dr. Carson who, just a couple of months ago, was questioning the sincerity of Trump's religious faith?
