It looks bleak. Worthless Republicans.  Where are the younger candidates with brains? Even on the Dem side.......the choice isn't difficult this time but not too many choices.  And what about the future??? a bit worrisome.

OMG I just watched his press conference. When a reporter asked him a question about how his flat tax might disproportionately put the burden on the poor - specifically when you consider the individual state taxes vary and are often very high - and Carson said he had considered it, but if the taxes in a state are too high then "everybody should pick up and move to another state. That's how it is supposed to work."

SMH

LMAO! I've done the cheap states-I'll stick with the higher taxes and the sanity that comes with it
Boy, NY and CA are going to be empty on his plan LOLOL

This story, along with his affiliations with Mannatech, makes me believe this guy is all about personal monetary gain. Add to that the fact that he suspended his presidential campaign to sell more books makes it pretty obvious what he's really about, and it ain't integrity. The guy is a snake.

Carson penned a gushing letter of support for his friend. He wrote that "next to my wife of 32 years, there is no one on this planet I trust more than Al Costa." He also testified at Costa's sentencing in March 2008. At that hearing, Carson told the judge: "Well, I feel very strongly, obviously, about Al Costa. You know, he's one of my closest, if not my closest, friend. We were, we became friends about a decade ago. We found that, you know, our value systems were almost identical." Carson said that if Costa were to be incarcerated, it would harm the Carson charity and possibly force the Pittsburgh chapter to shutter. 

His best friend was convicted of medical fraud for overbilling insurance companies for services not rendered, and for getting a $10,000 fee for years after he was no longer actually practicing dentistry at the clinic.

Very worrisome...I have NO idea who to vote for....the choices we have are terrible...and very scary

*************************
Spunky you are so right it's getting very scary for sure.

That was the best skit of the night! Jay Pharoah nailed it so hard. "Here I come with the quickness...." <shuffles over>

Trevor Noah:
"At this rate, I wouldn't be shocked to find out Carson thought the Gaza Strip was a titty bar in Vegas".

This is starting to get scary!Hours after telling reporters that he saw a video of American Muslims in New Jersey cheering on Sept. 11, 2001, when the World Trade Center's twin towers fell, Ben Carson's campaign apologized for the remarks, saying he "doesn't stand behind" them and that they were "a mistake."When asked by ABC News if American Muslims were cheering on 9/11 -- as has been suggested by Donald Trump -- Carson said “Yes.”“I saw the film of it, yeah,” he said and cited "the newsreels" of 9/11 coverage at the time.However, Carson made a 180 a short time later."He doesn't stand behind his comments to New Jersey and American Muslims," said campaign spokesman Doug Watts said. "He was rather thinking of the protests going on in the Middle East and some of the demonstrations that we're going on in celebration of the towers going down."He doesn't stand behind his references and apologizes for the mistaken references. It was a mistake on his part and he clearly wasn't really thinking about New Jersey, he was thinking about the Middle East."

Have you ever been to Paterson?
