"There are news people here who think I'm going to make a concession speech. This is a just the beginning speech," Carson said. .

Carson's speech Saturday took a truly unusual turn when the presidential candidate went on to pontificate about humans' failure to use their frontal lobes.

It will be interesting to see who the bottom 3 votes go to.
I cannot believe Rubio has lasting appeal.
Trump won but he got 32 percent ... that is not dominating.
Cruz (or rubio) with a few votes from the bottom three could have beat him.
I just wonder where those votes will go. I’m still hoping they go to Cruz.
I agree with you.
One of the biggest shocks in my life happened tonight when I turned on the news and Jeb had dropped out and not Carson. I really thought Jeb would stay in until Florida. But there maybe some shenanigans going on with Carson. Who knows.
I think SC was the last straw for Jeb's donors. I doubt he and Carson have cooked anything up.
Trump and Cruz need to go hard after Rubio. The MSM is pumping him up for all their worth (and that ain't much).
Dr. Carson has never been much of candidate annd will eventually fade away.
Nah, I don’t think there is any collusion between Jeb and Carson. I know politics make strange bedfellows...but I just don’t see it.
If Trump and Cruz go after Rubio...It will be interesting to see how the GOPe props him up. Or if they can.
Carson is delusional at best, spiteful at worst. He wants to “Perot” Cruz, imo.
I’d love to see him in the Cabinet, however.
Thanks for your note. I can begin to appreciate Dr. Carson as a neurosurgeon because I needed one about 5½ yrs ago. — had to have a craniotomy to remove a large (benign) tumor. I also read his biography, and an very aware of his asrounding reproof to BOb at the prayer breakfast. Result? End of National Prayer Breakfast, as well as local ones.
With all said, Ben might make a good legislator or political executive when he gets to really know the people in the field. However, that is not what he is exquisitely trained for, to heal and teach others in the intricacies of modern medicalocracy. I think he may be just really intrinsically too good, basically ethically and morally, to be able to toss people under the bus when he needs to. Like sending Americans into wars to get their limbs blown off by totally depraved terrorists, when his fellow surgeons’ tasks are to sew them back on, or debrade cratered skulls to “save” a vegetable not knowing whether or not the soul is still present.
I think it might destroy him, at the core of his Seventh Day strict Christian honorable medical being, his pledge to Christ and Hippocrates.
But thanks for your word of caution. i was just trying to be funny, and it might well have been inappropriate to offer that turn of phrase. I’ll try to be humbled and corrected.
I have like Dr. Carson from the beginning but some of the things he says are just creepy. Make him part of the medicine team but keep him out of the Oval Office.....
He certainly, by all accounts, is an exceptional surgeon.
He has not run a terribly effective campaign, and his book smarts are having a hard time translating into political smarts.
