You know, at some point The Donald is going to have to rise up above these petty insults and act, well...like he's above all the minutia and bickering.

He'd do well to realize that like the Electoral College - this isn't a popularity contest.

+1

Not only that...if he wins the nomination does he expect to gain Carson’s supporters by constantly sand bagging him?

This kind of continuing personal insults against Carson are just crude and uncalled for. Trump is only hurting himself by engaging in them.

Im a supporter but getting less so. Trumps big NYC mouth isnt doing him any good. Why attack allies? Trump has plenty of FOLLOWERS but getting fewer supporters. His big mouth will let a lot of decent folks down.

According to Jackie Mason, the viewers might be asleep with Carson.

Jackie Mason: Ben Carson ‘looks like he’s falling asleep’
WND ^ | 9/28/2015 | WND
Posted on 11/4/2015, 5:44:25 PM by WilliamIII

Comedian and longtime conservative Jackie Mason sounded off on the Republican presidential field in a radio interview Sunday, jesting Ben Carson looks like he is falling asleep and brilliant Carly Fiorina may just be too cerebral.

On Carson, Mason quipped: Every time you see him, he looks like he either fell asleep or he is trying to fall asleep. Everybody else is looking for a job. He looks like he is looking for a place to lie down for an hour.

Truth is if you read the article, Carson attacked trump for his apppearance on the Show.
So, Trump hit back. But you wouldn’t know this unless you read the article.

Trump demonstrating how classless he is. Just par for the course.

This is part of why Trump will not be the nominee. Yes, many people find this refreshing and amusing at first, but eventually the people who vote in GOP primaries will have grown tired of it.

Sorry but this is war. The GOP has spent the past few decades nominating amiable nice guys who only serve as doormats when - if - they get into office. If they aren't losing to "cooler" saxophone playing womanizers and grinning community organizers, then they are busy crossing the aisle and submitting themselves to ridicule and derision.

It's time we sent a junkyard dog to Washington to run the low life out and set us back on the right path.

Yeah. It’s wearing thin. Carson doesn’t deserve this. The Democrat media, yes. But not Carson.

After a while you begin to think that he doesn’t have anything else. Kinda like Don Rickles.

While Trump is right, he shouldn’t be attacking Carson with personal attacks. By engaging in this type of behavior he seeks to alienate Carson supporters that he will need if he wants to win the nomination.

Probably not a totally accurate statement regarding Ben on SNL, but close since sleepy Ben doesn’t appear to have the personality for the over-the-top SNL type of humor (though, a good skit for Ben on SNL would be him dressed up as Joseph directing grain being loaded into the great HOLLOW pyramids, you know, for storage.)

still, trump’s statement would certainly be true of almost any of the other candidates, pretty much all of whom are below 10% and most below 5%, though I MIGHT tune in to see how badly personality-like-a-bump-on-a-log Yeb would bomb.

It’s so interesting to watch people get emotionally attached to stuff like this about Trump and ignore the fact he’s the only candidate pointing out things like corporate inversion and Obama’s lap dog Yellen.

Yellen -> https://youtu.be/ZSlXkOX6n3s?t=1890

Carl Icahn on Yellen; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mba7SynRtVA&feature=player_detailpage#t=751

Trump’s tax plan specifically addresses the corporate inversion issue. Trump is THE ONLY candidate talking about that. Imagine 2.5 trillion in real, not printed, money dropped into businesses in US. Imagine what that would do for the economy coupled with the 15% corporate tax rate.

Carl Icahn has been asked and accepted Sec Treasury. Trump and Carl are already rolling on the corporate inversion issue; http://carlicahn.com/needed-legislation-letter/

Carl on corporate inversion; https://youtu.be/Mba7SynRtVA?t=214

Trump on Singer, Rubio’s superpacker -> https://youtu.be/9mOxWDBIAwk?t=967

But people really will ignore all this and whine “Trump made fun of Ben Carson so I can’t support him”. That is foolish, and shooting yourselves in the foot. Would people really be willing to let the bigger issues of 19 trillion debt and the country going down the tubes go just because the only person with a demonstrated capability of fixing them said bad things about another candidate??

The US stands at a fork in the road, Trump is one side, all the other candidates are the other. Trump is the junkyard dog, the bulldozer, the only one with a ghost of a chance at effectively doing something about the problems the country faces. Writing him off will be writing the country off.

Mark my words.

I hadn't seen the light with regard to Carson, but you know what, it's starting to make a certain kind of sense...  well sort of.

Since he's the most qualified to be president, it only stands to reason....



President Carson Cabinet


Vice President: David Larson, Ophthalmologist, internationally renown

Department of State, Letitia Johnson, President of General Practitioners of America
Department of Justice, Phil Simpson, Open heart Surgeon at the Mustard Clinic, internationally renown
Department of Treasury, Pyllis Morton, Orthopedic Surgeon, recognized as one of America's best
Department of Defense, Abner Tripleplay, Board Certified Pediatrician, with the largest practice in the United States
Department of Interior, Brenda Obledo, One of the nation's leading Gynecologists
Department of Labor and Commerce, Brian Sung, Head of Men's Studies as James Flopkins

In non-cabinet level jobs

FBI Director: Alfred Bonaventure, Ophthalmic Surgeon
IRS Commissioner: Tina Jackson, Orthodontic Surgeon at Sam Sneed Medical Center (Serving under Phyllis Morton)
UnderSecretary of the Navy: Lloyd Bratwurst, Leading Internist at the Delta Organic Medical Group
UnderSecretary of the Army: Tran Veyoung, Internationally renown Acupuncturist
Press Secretary: Kate Slimstein, Office Manager for Debbie Stilton, Nutritionist

Speaker of the House: Fang gNiong Blek, Surgeon specializing in organ transplants

Senate Majority Leader: Undecided at the moment, Internists, Neurosurgeons, and Hip Replacement Specialists will be considered

This lampoon of Carson was inspired by ASA Vet who has presented a reasoned cabinet proposal for Trump...  LINK

...and WilliamIII for making a post to me that gave me the idea.

None of the people listed are real.
