Ben Carson's South Carolina Remarks Just Took A Bizarre Turn
Bustle ^ | February 20, 2016 | Morgan Brinlee

Posted on 02/20/2016 7:44:25 PM PST by kevcol

"There are news people here who think I'm going to make a concession speech. This is a just the beginning speech," Carson said. .
.
.
Carson's speech Saturday took a truly unusual turn when the presidential candidate went on to pontificate about humans' failure to use their frontal lobes.

he media never found a single voter in Iowa who switched from Carson to Cruz based on the e-mails about Carson suspending his campaign. Not one.

Did they look? I did and personally found three! :)

They just had exit polls that showed Bush’s support divided mostly between Cruz and Rubio but some to Trump and Carson

Thanks for the Info

I only asked because I have not heard anything. That led me to believe that they had indeed patched things up.

I suppose it could also mean that Carson is still steamed but holding his tongue

Thanks

Knarf, I like Carson. I just don’t think he’s presidential.

He’s so laid back he makes me nervous.

I don’t think he’s worthy of being ridiculed though.

Trump was unfair to him.

Lets hope for better down the road.

This has been a very cantankerous season.

I think it may be a big mistake to attack Cruz

If the Establishment drop outs continue to move to Rubio
Trump is going to need Cruz supporter votes

Already The Establishment is surpassing Trump
Rubio 21
Kasich 8
Jeb 6
and Carson votes seem to be going to Rubio

Trump will need Cruz voters. I hope the bad blood is not beyond return

Ben has been handling all the ridicule quite maturely

He'll play in Trump's cabinet

Interesting. I’d be surprised if Cruz got much of that. Rubio of course. Odd that Carson would get any. I could see some go to Kasich before Carson.

We’ll find out in Nevada.

Kanamits have bodacious frontal lobes.
But they eat people.

I don’t have a problem with that at all.

He might make a great Surgeon General.

I agree. I figured that out early...but he is a very good man that needs to leave this nasty race.

One of the biggest shocks in my life happened tonight when I turned on the news and Jeb had dropped out and not Carson. I really thought Jeb would stay in until Florida. But there maybe some shenanigans going on with Carson. Who knows.

"Not one."

You are so absolutely correct! I respect and admire Ben Carson, but all damage to his campaign was self-inflicted by both him and his campaign staff.

Awesome (and funny) post. I wish FR had a like button.

Dr. Carson is a good man and a brilliant neurosurgeon. He had the GUTS to take it DIRECTLY to Dear Leader at the Prayer Breakfast years ago. Cost him a neuroendoscope of an audit by the Soetaro IRS. That alone makes me respect him.

And that “call out” really got to Barry (and Val). Why? Dr. Carson is EVERYTHING the “historic” Obama claimed to be. A brilliant student; came from humble, single mom, low income background. Carsons story is inspiration; Obamas is pretty much made up.

Carson can campaign straight thru Cleveland as far as I am concerned.

Saw an article while back that said Cruz is tops for second choice and Trump is last. That’s where the talkers get the position that Trump is maxed out at about 33%. The article is a little dated now, though.

Trump got 44 of 50 delegates. He ran the smart way and outsmarted all the other political experts. No one thought he would get these many delegates. If he keeps this up the next couple of weeks.... The GOPe is going to have to resort to non-ballot measures now.

Trump better increase his security.
