If any of the GOP loons plan to pick BC as VP bait for the rubes, then they won’t call him out.

He shouldn’t be afraid of secular humanists, only his own pathology. He is, in essence, a sick man who needs constant attention to be validated, much like Trump. Hell, much like the Republican Party.

No, he likely won’t. Two interesting things.
1.) Carson is doing himself in although it’s been a long time in the making. His long list of books, speeches and videos over the decades will now get tons of scrutiny by the press as they smell b.s. like a shark smells blood! Further, escaping any scrutiny to his outrageous claims over all these years by his fawning fans, he continued to embellish each story but painted himself into a corner, a corner he is definitely in now. Truth usually wins out!
2.) Amazingly, Trump has pretty much survived similar close scrutiny for a long time now, even decades. His b.s. is equally as deep and often demonstrably false. Yet, I can only guess the press has glazed eyes, glazed by his fortune or maybe fear he’ll strike back verbally or with a lawsuit, a legal tactic he can easily afford.
Amazing that these 2 clowns are still in the running. A sucker IS born every minute!

Can anyone here tell us how this plays out in Teabaggerstan ? I mean, by any reasonable thinking, this guy would be crawling back to Johns Hopkins in a cheap disguise by now.

Haven’t we been predicting “this is the end” for both Trump and Carson every week?
Eventually, it’ll be true. Sort of like those people who predict the end of the world on a regular basis. Several billion years from now, one of them will be right.

There will be a tipping point: it’s cumulative. Ben’s lies matter, and eventually he’ll be tripped up in a big way, with NO wiggle room, then people will start laughing. Then it’s the real end.

Reasonable standards don’t apply to the lunatic right wing.

Let’s certainly hope his serial lying is enough for people to drop him like a hot potato, but given who his supporters are, I am pretty sure that won’t happen. The delusional leading the deluded.

As for the press eyes glazing over, let’s not forget that many of the on-screen media (Blitzer, Todd, Mrs. Greenspan, etc.) are members of the 1-percent club just like Trump.

If you remember that we´re talking about the Republican base, it suddenly becomes much less amazing, and much more perfectly predictable.

Republicans want their version of President Obama. They have him.

I might send him some money. I want him to get the nom. He’s the most certain of the group to lose the general.

Will his poll numbers fall? No, obviously not. What a stupid question.
Will it be softball or hardball? It’s Fox, after all.

Carson is getting ready to have another bad week and then another it looks like. He will end up re-explaining his entire adult life and having to show copies of his medical license - a birther/truther combo thing.
What he needs is some (more) medication to help him stay calm and make it through his recovery. Because he’s so edgy and anxious, like a sloth is.

A singular difference between Trump’s and Carson’s statements are that Carson’s are laughable lies, and easily provable as lies. Trump is not lying but merely expressing his opinion, no matter how toxic. And for many, Trump’s wild and racist comments don’t affect millions negatively. However, almost everyone considers blatant lies not a good thing to do - especially publically where the lies are transparently lies. Trump is not lying, just being an asshole. Being a liar is worse than an asshole, ask mee!

Regarding the college “honesty test” Carson alleges happened, what sort of professor concocts a story of destroyed tests as a ruse to ferret out the most honest student in a class, and then gives them $10 as a reward? I’ve not heard anyone question the very basic set up of the story, but merely whether the class existed and if so could witnesses be located to recall it occurring. Did the professor suspect dishonesty was so rampant the need to hold up one student as honest was needed? The very idea a college prof would even do such a thing is ridiculous. Even attempting to verify it lends more credence to Carson’s tale than it merits.
