Yeah…he is off the reservation now. His campaign implosions have probably left him with nobody prepping him, so look for this to only get worse. Assuming he stays in the race long enough to make the next debate. Which for me, is a pretty big assumption.

They also asked him about corporate inversions, although they didn’t call it that, which somehow led hin to talk about laundry detergent.

This is the point in the movie where we see Ben Carson, tied to a chair in a windowless room, facing a TV screen, thrashing and screaming in horror, and we realize that his evil twin brother is still alive.

Listening to Carson last evening a hoot! What a master grifter the guy is! Is he awake yet?

This guy is actually still polling positive?

It’s all becuz his campaign song, right?

Of all the people to make a self-referencing joke about falling asleep. My oh my, Ben. That said, I disagree with the second point in this article. I thought Carson’s ‘he said everybody’ was a brilliant bit, and it worked, he got the mic. Best I’ve seen Ben in the wit department. Made me laugh.

Dr. Benadryl said something? I think I had a narcoleptic attack when he was speaking. But given the content and mannerisms when speaking, I can;t really be sure as both feel the same.

Reminds me of what Dorothy Parker is said to have remarked upon hearing of the death of Calvin Coolidge:

“How can they tell?”

Yes! And he put Bartiromo the Snake right into the camp of all the obnoxious name-callers who infest the internet and whose collective spirit “did not come from our Judeo-Christian roots, I can tell you that.” That was good.

And the thing abour Carson “thinking” he was “mentioned” and so should get a chance to rebut because some candidate said, “everybody on this stage,” Carson was making fun of ¡Jeb! who like a schoolboy is forever raising his hand and saying, “I was mentioned. Do I get a chance to speak?” Just my opinion, though.

The irony of an African-American man standing on a stage in SC, and telling everyone we need to go back to a time in America when everyone was more civil to each other, is almost beyond description.

Folks, if you haven’t figured it out by now, let me break it to you. Ben Carson is only in this for the money. He IS Max Bialystock! His campaign manager Leo Bloom, er, Armstrong Williams, is bilking the rubes for every cent he can fleece them out of.

Agreed. We’re just a couple of weeks short of the 2nd anniversary of the attack on an electrical substation in Silicon Valley. We are vulnerable, but Ben Carson as pResident wouldn’t put pressure on anyone to address the problem.

I really don’t want to be a buzzkill and throw a wrench into Mental Ben’s post-ontological worldview here, but, uh, if Our Enemies have targeted the electrical grid and detonated a device that creates EMP, by definition they can’t then launch a follow-on cyberattack since all of the, uh, “cyber” stuff would, y’know, already have been knocked off-line by the, uh, EMP and lack of, um, electricity. But, okay, yeah, keep going, Ben. Keep tossing up the word salad. As Hunter S. Thompson said, you still haven’t gotten weird enough for me.

Kinda makes you wonder if the world renowned brain surgeon has any idea at all what an EMP would actually do.

I can tell you this - a single device, no matter how big, wouldn’t take out the whole country.
