Candidate is an aggressive user of social media

Donald Trump believes his aggressive use of social media, most notably his prolific Twitter presence, is a "problem" for the campaign, according to Ben Carson.

Conservative host Joyce Kaufman, a Trump supporter, suggested to Carson on Thursday that the bombastic GOP front-runner should shut down the account.

"We talk about it and a number of people talked about it, including his family," Carson said. "And he knows that it's a problem. So, you know, the first part of solving the problem is recognizing that it exists."

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday....

Ben Carson went from being a neurosurgeon to being Donald’s babysitter.

Yet another lame Trump-bashing post, by one of the most persistent Cruz trolls on this site.

I doubt Trump needs your advice Mr. Carson. You lost....

So how did your pyramid scheme work out. I think you had about 4 mil in your kitty when you left.

I see a lame post, which is posted to try to benefit Ted Cruz.

One of countless such “posts” you make every single day.

Cruz is a troll, for the GOP establishment. 100% so.

That’s so funny.

No Donald Trump will not shut down his 7 million follower Twitter account.

Dumb.

I don’t see the problem. I see a problem with those that don’t fight back like the GOPe. I want a flame thrower.

I was talking to a friend and we were wondering if there’s an addictive element to Twitter.

Whether there is or not I can tell you from first-hand experience that when you hit send, it’s gone, lightening fast.

Trump’s Tweets remind me of “beer text’s.”

But Donald does not drink, so he says.

Carson is so ponderous when he speaks its quite easy to misquote or quote him out of context...which is a favorite parlor game for many so called news organizations.

It won’t take long for Trump to tell his “advisors” to take a hike.

Trump’s new “Convention Bulldog’s” Ukraine client (Putin’s buddy) wasn’t 1/4 the ego. Trump never even learns from failure, he conveniently blames it on everyone else. What he has won, was actually accomplished by favor buying to put a Trump thumb on the scales.

I have seen posts and articles saying that Trump is a Hillary troll (remember, they’re good friends) and this is just a set-up to throw her the White House. I’m not saying I agree with them, but it makes more sense than “Life-long conservative Cruz has now sold out to the establishment.”

Yes, you could have seen lots of lame “Trumpbot” posts since Feb. 2016.

What’s Trump posts bringing these days? 25 cents?

Melania and Ivanka keep telling him to act presidential. But, he just waves their concerns away.

That Twitter post of Heidi Cruz picture really hurt him...

I still will vote for him solely on a ABC basis...

I find it very concerning an 69 year old adult is so blind to the infantile nature of posting it...?

...and he wants to be POTUS ?

Seriously...? The man has some serious character flaws...
