'Ben can't do the job': Trump goes after Carson on morning TV

'Ben can't do the job': Trump goes after Carson on morning TV following shock poll that shows the doctor in front of The Donald

'It's not his thing. It's not in his wheelhouse,' Trump told a Fox News audience of the need for a tough negotiator in the White House 'He doesn’t have the temperament for it. I think Ben just doesn't have the experience,' he said on ABC One national poll shows Carson leapfrogging Trump but two others have the billionaire maintaining a solid lead Ben Carson isn't ready for prime time, Donald Trump told two national television audiences on Monday morning.

'I think that Ben just doesn't have the experience' with tough negotiations to be president, he told 'Good Morning America' co-host George Stephanopoulos on ABC.

'Ben cannot deal on trade. Ben cannot deal with China. It's not his thing, George. You know, you're born with it. It's not his thing. He hasn't got the temperament for it. It's not the right thing for him.'

Trump also called Carson 'very weak on immigration' during a 'Fox & Friends' interview on the Fox News Channel.

Trump was reacting to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released late Thursday, which shows Carson leading him nationally by six percentage points.

'I think he's a nice person. I like him. But I don't really understand it,' Trump said of Carson.

'That poll was not done after the debate,' he said, referring to last week's Republican slugfest in Colorado.

'You'll see something a little different' once post-debate polls begin to come in, he suggested.

Trump also claimed Carson, a retired physician, would pare back the federal Medicare program if he were to win the White House.

'Carson wants to cut Medicare. I think that's the end of his campaign,' he said.

Carson is a squish on the Second Amendment.

That alone disqualifies him as I see it.

There's your cue, Ben. Get your Medical Savings Accounts and Health Savings Accounts proposals out of the mothballs.

Don't even bother aksing The Donald what his proposals are. We already know his plan is "Everybody gets covered. Everybody gets covered. Your gonna love my health care system. It's like Canada's only better."

Carson would put us to sleep. Trump is correct and I don’t know what the appeal of Carson is. How can our party be for someone who is for Amnesty?

Hey Basil

Maybe Carson will invite his buddy Sharpton as Shakedown Czar in his administration

That’s wrong.

Sounds a lot like Al Campanis: It’s just that Ben may not have some of the necessities to be...

All candidates in a primary criticize each other, big deal.

I'm paraphrasing.

Please feel free to set me straight.

If Trump is so sure of himself, what difference does it make to him if Carson drops out or not.

IMO, Trump is an arrogant bastid, and I will be holding my nose to vote for him.

Carson knows as much about leadership as Trump knows about brain surgery.

I knew it the other day when he gave Carson a wink.

And he's telling Carson he isn't going to be VP either.

I think once the primaries are over, you will see a different pattern...

Trump has lead, I know not all the time, and some of the polls I haven't believed were right, but he has had a strong lead, with 15 candidates to do that, he is doing something right...

Some people do not believe that immigration is the focal point of this election but I do believe that...and I think if Trump would have entered this election, immigration would not have been discussed...

Trump has shown us a lot of things that are wrong with this country, not just immigration taking food, jobs, impact on our economy, manufacturing leaving our Country, how the two party system is in bed with each other, how obuma has taken upon himself to do whatever he wants to do and how and when, he has also shown us how crooked the debates are being handled, and just yesterday showed us how you can make deals...

He has plans out, immigration, second amendment, VA, and has said he is working on a lot more...

These are MY things I have seen and followed, I am not knocking other candidates because I'm not interested in doing away with medicare or bring in amnesty, or anything else they are basing their campaigns on, I know what Trump is doing, he's my candidate and therefore he is the one I know about....
