That's why he changed to a Republican in 2014 to run against the republican candidates to insure Hillary turn at the White House...

Ben Carson is a plant of the GOPe, and the media, RINOs and talking heads all know this...

He is there to knock off Trump and probably Cruz to ensure Hillary's win....did you ever hear of Carson in the political world until this election? NO...

Trump wasn't quite about running this time, but they didn't figure he would knock over the apple cart of the GOPe like he has and he has a friend working with him on this, Ted Cruz....so the gig is up and now Carson is tanking just like all the rest....and the GOPe, media, RINOs have their hands in the cookie jar and don't know what to do...they hired super pacs, and campaign people and Club for Growth to take Trump out and it's not working...they didn't figure how big Trump's support base and Cruz's support base was going to be and thought that Bush could handle it, but he was a no show from the beginning....and so is Carson...

Those are interesting points you raise H-Lady, however I would suggest that people need to consider the question "who does this benefit?" and while some have said this revelation about Ben Carson benefits Trump (and I believe it does), the more critical question is "would anyone with Team Bush believe that by knocking out Ben Carson, that it would free up support which could flow to Senor Jebuardo?

To my knowledge, Carson has not had very many (if any) criticisms of Bush (someone correct me if I am wrong on that), so I don't think it is too outlandish to ponder the possibility that this POLITICO hit piece might have been launched with the idea of saving Jebuardo from giving up.

After all, Carson's support has to go somewhere, assuming he does withdraw.
