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.

Plan A of the GOPe = Bush...but he is a nothing and can’t do anything, which they didn’t consider...

Plan B of the GOPe = Carson, knock off Trump, possibly Cruz and all of Carson goes to Bush, who hands the White House to Hillary....

But it hasn’t worked...so watch this next debate, see who goes after who...that will tell you what is going to happen next....
