Carson Apologizes for Questioning Trump's Faith
Foxnews.com ^ | September 12, 2015

Posted on 09/12/2015 5:58:06 PM PDT by Helicondelta

Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson on Friday apologized for questioning fellow primary challenger Donald Trump’s spiritual faith, drawing further contrast on how top GOP candidates handle the front-running Trump's calculated and often withering attacks.

“I think I did slip, and that’s why I apologized,” Carson said on Fox News’ “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren.”

Jindal and Fiorina should follow Carson's lead and issue their apologies before the next debate.

Carson is a nice guy and may play a part in Trump's administration.

But he is no way tough enough to compete on this stage. He has great character and came up out of great slime...but he is not the man this time.

The Carson implosion might send Trump over 50% in the polls.

I might start watching Fox news again just to see all the idiots with eggs in their faces.

Why don’t you apologize for supporting the illegal alien invasion of American, Ben?

Trump has said earlier in his campaign that he would like Carson for Surgeon General...

Maybe there was a phone call and that’s what this is all about....

esident Trump’s Cabinet
Jefferson Sessions as Vice President

Department of State, (return INS.) – John Bolton
Department of Justice - Trey Gowdy (Suggested by The Donald)
Department of Treasury, (includes former Homeland Security, (Customs) – Carl Icahn (Offered and Accepted)
Department of War, (change the name back, include VA function.) – Gen. James Mattis
Department of Interior, (includes legitimate functions only of former Transportation, Homeland Security (Border Patrol,) and Energy Departments) – Gov. Palin

Department of Labor and Commerce – ELIMINATE
Department of Health and Human Services - ELIMINATE
Department of Homeland Security – ELIMINATE
Department of Education - ELIMINATE
Department of Energy – ELIMINATE
Department of Housing and Urban Development – ELIMINATE
Department of Veterans Affairs - ELIMINATE
Department of Agriculture – ELIMINATE
Department of Transportation - ELIMINATE

This proposed model has the President directly managing six subordinates which is optimal.

In non-cabinet level jobs

Sheriff Clarke should be FBI Director
Doctor Benjamin Carson as Surgeon General
Lynnette “Diamond” Hardaway and Rochelle “Silk” Richardson would be great as President Trumps Co-Press Secretaries.

Carson is falling apart totally. It is true. If he continues like this Carson will push Trump over 50%.

Now that Carson has clearly sided with the illegal aliens and their employers his numbers will tank.

I admire Dr. Carson too, and won’t bash him. He is doing what he feels led to do, but, I don’t think he’s supposed to be POTUS. He has value in an administration though.

Carson looks weak because he is weak.
Carson has peaked.
It’s all downhill from here on out.

The real question is who will all these white guilt Carson supporters
run to when Carson fades?.

Trump is making all their bigshot talking heads look like the GOP establishment shills that they are. He’s causing them to expose themselves.

George Will and Krauthammer are putzes.
