Of course he flipped last night and of course Neil Cavuto let him get by with it. Neil's a smart man and certainly knew Carson's stance on wanting to raise the minimum wage. If Carson had been challenged on why he changed his mind he would have just said whoever said he wanted to raise it was lying. If shown the video on CNN he would have said someone had edited it. No one challenges Saint Ben. They're all liars.

Good man; just another policy difference I have with him.

Stopped reading at “Conservative”.

Almost as EEO stupid as the Kenyan.

[Travis T. OJustice]

Unelectable Ben. Unnngh.

Supporting an increase in the minimum wage isn’t the same as supporting an increase of roughly 100%. Isn’t that what he was specifically asked about last night? Perhaps I don’t remember it correctly

For the record, he’s not my candidate and I oppose the minimum wage altogether, but

[Longbow1969]

Yeah, Carson has flip flopped now and again. No doubt. Still not nearly as much as Trump has. Heck Trump was a Democrat for 8 of 10 years between 2000-2010. Trump has “evolved” on so many issues it is impossible to keep track of - INCLUDING immigration. In 2012 “the Donald” said Romney was too tough on the issue of illegal immigration for simply wanting to enforce eVerify. Even as of a few months ago Trump thinks socialized medicine works great in Canada and just terrific in Scotland.

If you want a real conservative, one grounded in conservative ideology - then Ted Cruz is the guy. As a politician he’s no doubt changed his position here and there, but for the most part you can count on Cruz to be a conservative on nearly every issue. With Cruz as president you will never have to worry about liberal administrative appointments, liberal nominees, liberal regulatory schemes, etc.

I think, probably, it should be higher than now”

...he never says anything with conviction. “I think maybe”, “I think probably”, “perhaps”...

Back in the day, when I watched TV, there was a Simpsons, where Marge takes over for Homer in his job at the nuke plant. At his "desk", she presses some button to see what it does, and monster flames immediately flows down the hallway, chasing a bunch of employees.

For some strange reason, Carson's offering his thoughts on conservative issues reminded me of this scene.

[FourPeas]

Carson’s explanation of why he opposes a minimum wage hike convinces me he understands (now) why it’s a bad idea. The ability to learn and change his positions doesn’t have to be a bad thing.

If we double the minimum wage, will we also double the amount of social security paid to the retire persons? With a higher minimum wage prices will increase, so we need to protect the most vulnerable members of our country.

[Paine in the Neck]

He's already backed off of that: Ben Carson Comes Out Against Raising the Minimum Wage. Another instance of Carson yapping before thinking.

[Tenacious 1]

I like Ben Carson for Surgeon General or head of HSS. But it is pretty clear he has succumbed to political pandering and is either confusing himself or unsettled on some important issues. Either way, his weakness has been exposed.

I'd like to see trump as the head of the EPA. “Your fired” fits nice in that lawless leviathan of a bureaucratic labyrinth.

[Jim W N]

No, Ben, unconstitutional and economically destructive federal minimum wage needs to be REPEALED completely.

[Norm Lenhart]

Carson has one type supporting him. White guilt ‘conservatives’ willing to find any excuse to avoid principled governance or governors.

Any lib in a storm. His race makes it a twofer.

[Sooth2222]

It is the novel approach to illegal immigration to make it too expensive for anyone to ever hire an illegal!

[HarleyLady27]

Of course he is, he’s the GOPe plant to knock Trump out to get Bush in to get Hillary elected....why would he say so many stupid remarks if he wasn’t a RAT....

[Sir Napsalot]

Right now, all you can say about Ben Carson is ‘outsider’.

And he’s trying hard to blend in with the establishment and pundit crowd.

Anytime I see Carson being described as conservative, I’ll know better.
