Well, he's not wrong. ;') BTW, this is one more "pyramids were used as granaries" ping.

[DB]

Well the article says he took a “jab at Trump” not Cruz.

As far as your closet comment, you made it up. The only reports I’m aware of is Cruz tried to smooth things out with Carson nothing more.

‘Zactly.

I’ve lost a lot of respect for Ben Carson lately. I think he’s just staying in it for the money and to make Ted Cruz mad. What a whiner.

[HokieMom]

I attended a Dr. Carson event several months ago and it was definitely more like listening to a university professor give a lecture than a political rally like other candidates hold.

[papertyger]

The ONE guy that knows his stuff and states it gets ridiculed ...

"Knowing your stuff" is not the same as leadership ability....

That's the one thing Carson most definitely DOES NOT have.

[Rock Eye Jack]

Do you think it just coincidence
that Carson’s fall has corresponded with Rubio’s rise ?

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

I tend to agree with him. I see it every single day in my own life.

[Kenny]

It’s just my opinion. I have no evidence that Carson’s sticking it to Ted. There are stories about their closet meeting that Carson said it didn’t go well and Cruz said it was a success.

Sorry if I gave the impression I have inside info, just going from comments on boards that say Cruz trying to patch it up with Carson so when he drops, Cruz will get votes. Also comments that Ted wanted to get a feeling for Carson’s position after SC.

[CincyRichieRich]

Anything less than saving the country is egotistical and selfish...even if one’s feelings are hurt.

[knarf]

The remarks here are not directed at Carson's leadership ability or lack of it ... they are directed at the substance of the remark, which quite frankly states .... God gave us brains and we don't use them

I agree

[Mastador1]

We’ll never know how Dr. Carson would have done in Iowa or where he’d be today but he blames Cruz for his lack of momentum. I don't think Carson would have been anywhere else but where he is today. All anyone here ever said was he's a nice man but............. Or he's so low energy, or Who the heck has a painting of themselves with Jesus standing with his hand on their shoulder hanging in their home?

[SunshinesStormySummerSon]

And the evidence for any of your assertions can be found where?

[Ken H]

I have to say, this is the most fun primary season ever. No comedy writer could ever come up with a script to match it.

[WVKayaker]

I love this guy, he's just so weird.

I see him more like another kook that ran for the job.

[imardmd1]

If the only tool you have is a neuroendoscope everything begins to look like a frontal lobe . . .

(Just sayin')

[dadfly]

orders from the gope to stay in ben?

[Pinkbell]

I wonder if the GOP pick could make Carson head of Health and Human Services. He’s a good, smart man and would do well at that.

[MHT]

Doing a Doc Martin on us.

[MattinNJ]

Curious who Carson voters’ 2nd choice is. I assume Cruz but I am sure some would go to Trump.
