If the GOP runs anyone but Trump or Cruz, I plan to write in Trump/Cruz so they can count the vote they lost by not supporting the People’s candidate. I’m beginning to think there is no big difference between the dims and the gop establishment, and since there is no way I could vote for Hillary, who is a criminal (imho)and no way I’d vote for Rubio as I see him as the dim’s gop candidate and Kasich would be another clothespin candidate (hold your nose vote as establishment as usual) then if Trump or Cruz is not the candidate, I will vote as I please by writing them in as a form of protest. If Hillary wins what difference would it make? Establishment supports establishment, not I.
BTTT!
Trump was the only candidate who stood up for Ben Carson.
God bless Dr. Carson.
| But he didn't compare him to a pathological child molester. When Trump attacked Carson, all he did is take passages from Carson's own book and pointed out that it was silly that a good man like Carson would hit his mother with a hammer or stab his friend. Very artful and honorable way to attack an opponent you like. |
Sounds like the perfect ticket to me!
“Carson - Surgeon Genral”
***********************************************************
A completely superfluous office, if there ever was one.
I got to agree there. Maybe make him Dept of the Interior and consolidate all the redundancy under it. Such as EPA, Education, and Transportation. Give him some clout over large swathes of the oligarchy.
False. He did. I heard it with my own ears. Trump lifted the word "pathological" out of context and said it's "incurable," like being a "child molester." It was not artful or honorable at all. It was downright disgraceful on Trump's part. But Trump has been a disgrace this whole campaign.
Let me prove to the Trump followers why endorsements don't matter. If Trump dropped out and endorsed Rubio would you all vote for Rubio? Nope.
What good is that if the president isn't a true constitutionalist?
Afterall, it was Trump that hung with him at the debate entrance when Carson didn’t hear his name called. The rest practically stepped on his neck trying to get on stage.
What gets me about Carson is he has never spoken out about Obama-s abuse of the Bully Pulpit and the resultant conflicts plus assults and murders that came from it. Begining with revenge for Treyvon Martin attacks on non blacks by black gangbangers which resulted in about a score (20) of deaths and serious injuries.
One who has spoken out about it is Miilwaukee county Sheriff Clarke (D) who by the way is ran for re election this month. and won Primary Feb 16th .
When Carson held a brief but slight lead in the Iowa polls Trump set out and accused him of being everything from a pedophile, crazy, and questionable surgeon involved in abortions. When he could have used that Bully Pulpit issue and elevate the discussion. But the President of Trump University (2 class action law suits comming up for deceptive practices .The one in NY has 5000 patticipants) Trump resorted to rhrowing krap and was unrelenting. Until polls showed Carsons lead dissappear during November .
Does Carson seriously believe Trump would consider him for VP ?
The man shoud really formally drop out and use the remaining time to fund raise and clean up his campaign debts.
Right now I’m going to assume that the comment was sincere, and not intended as hyperbole to make a point.
If Carson has seen fit to forgive him—which means a lot considering that he, Carson, still seems to be angry at Cruz—why are you constantly dragging it up? Seems to be water under the bridge for them. Why not you?
To change the subject some more, but onto a similar topic, your tagline suggests that you’d vote Hillary over Trump if it came down to that. Do you want me to hang that constantly over your head for the entire election season?
So you are saying that you think Trump sincerely believes Carson is incurably pathological like a child molester. Why then would Trump want such a person "jumping onboard"?
why are you constantly dragging it up?
Look at the title of this thread. It's about "Carson Jumping Onboard with Trump." Thus Trump's characterization of Carson is perfectly relevant.
your tagline suggests that you’d vote Hillary over Trump if it came down to that.
Right now we are in the primary season, so my "Anyone But Trump" is about that. And Hillary is not running for the Republican nomination.
Boy, you’re just lashing out at me, aren’t you? I’ve told you that I’ve respected you for a long time, and that REALLY hurt.
I’m going to only respond to the first part of your comment, because the sudden attack on my integrity just made me see red and I’m REALLY trying not to get involved in a flame war.
The INTENT of my comment was in order to try to forestall argument. Personally I’ve lived in NYC, and comments like Trump has made are pretty normal even among the kindest NYCers. It’s cultural to be loud and rude and outrageous as compared to the rest of the country, because in NYC, that kind of behavior isn’t rude to them; it’s how everyone acts.
But mostly I just didn’t want to argue about whether Trump was using hyperbole or not, so I just decided to concede your point for the purposes of this argument and assume the worst about Trump’s comment.
I was trying NOT to be angry and spiteful, especially after I realized that I took a few too many steps too far this week and am trying to tone it back. Am I not allowed the same courtesy, especially from a fellow pastor?
Ok, let’s see who Ben endorses. If he chooses Cruz or Rubio, then perhaps Trump did go over the line.
