“......So why is this happening?
Because the left has seen recent polls showing that Ben Carson has not only the highest ratings among current candidates on the question of honesty and trustworthiness but perhaps the highest ratings ever for any presidential candidate. While Carson finds more than 60 percent of voters believing him to be honest, the opposite is true for both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, each of whom have about 60 percent saying they are not honest and trustworthy.
That’s why Hillary-loving Politico and Donald Trump - who tweeted out another typical Trump whopper - “WOW, one of many lies by Ben Carson! Big story” - are on the rampage. Actually, it’s no story at all. But you attack a candidate where he is strong, and that’s what Trump and the media - who seem to take their vetting responsibility much more enthusiastically when it comes to Republicans - are doing by questioning Dr. Carson’s honesty.
Carson is on a knife edge here and much depends on his behavior as well as to whether the media can actually prove a lie; Carson insists there is no lie to find and that “lying is a grave sin.” His press conference performance was fairly solid, righteous indignation just reaching the edge of acceptability, the next step beyond which would be politically comparable to Howard Dean’s campaign-ending scream; that would suit the liberal media just as well.
If no actual fabrications are unearthed - Politico’s overreach (and Donald Trump’s typically outrageous and mean-spirited recasting and exaggeration of Dr. Carson’s childhood story) could make Carson the sympathetic victim. Indeed, Carson predicted that very thing on Friday.”.....

To this point dear, you are correct. Trump, in my opinion, made a huge mistake by coming out in support of the narrative to paint Carson a liar. The media and the left has to discredit him, because if they were to champion one who started out with nothing but his intellect and a stern mother, that means the entire narrative from the left will be exposed as the lie that we know it is.
On this one issue, I am totally for Carson just as I am totally for Trump on his going after illegal immigration and the political establishment. So, that does not mean I totally support Carson to be the nominee. He still has many political and social issue stances that are being shoved behind the curtain while this kerfuffle is being played out.
I heard Carson on Breitbart Radio on Friday say to Bannon that he was for TPP. Bannon got him to admit he did not know about much of the details of the thing and invited him back so he could be enlightened. There are more . . .
You need to see a shrink, Priest, Minister or Rabbi because the hatred is consuming your soul and fouling your mind.
If 1,000 memorable events happened 20,30,40 years ago and they have found a half dozen or more that are hard to document than they can claim he's a liar.They want his favorables to drop which is what its all about.
The drivebys have to destroy Carson first and then the Donald.
The hard left drivebys can't have a black candidate who is conservative, high in the polls and has high honesty, believability polling,it won't work for them. they will do anything to knock him out.
And let's face it Carson is not a seasoned politician. He really doesn't navigate well in these waters.
