It’s the biggest endorsement yet for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, and it could help bring the 2016 presidential nomination race to an end. Just days ahead of the crucial winner-take-all primary votes in Florida and Ohio, Dr. Ben Carson has formally endorsed Trump.
Carson’s support will be critical for helping Trump win over the votes of skeptical conservatives and evangelicals that his main rival — Texas Sen. Ted Cruz — is counting on.
Carson said he and Trump have “buried the hatchet” after months of political wrangling during his endorsement of the GOP frontrunner’s White House bid.
At a press conference in Palm Beach, Florida today, Carson, who left the race earlier this month, described “two Donald Trumps” — the persona reflected on stage, and a private, “very cerebral” person who “considers things carefully.”
In his introduction to Carson Friday, Trump described the retired neurosurgeon as a “special, special person — special man,” and a “friend” who is respected by everyone.
Carson warned that it is “extremely dangerous” when political parties attempt to “thwart the will of the people,” and urged politicians to “strengthen the nation,” rather than create divisions.
Sources close to the campaign said Carson was torn between endorsing Trump and Cruz, but opted to support Trump because of the rumor that had been circulated ahead of the Iowa caucuses, when the Cruz campaign told voters that Carson had dropped out of the race.
The Associated Press contributed to this article.
Carson apparently will not forgive Cruz for the alleged dirty tricks in Iowa; after some long consideration, carson endorsed Trump, whom he forgave for some very negative talk
Forgiving is not the same as forgetting!!
Correct
Carson forgave Cruz. He just did not forget.
what the Cruz camp did was unethical to say the least. and amounted to stealing votes. I think Ted KNOWS that and this will come back to haunt him.
Karma
Who needs a presidentlike that. We have had that from obama
Cruz reminds me of a guy that knows what you want to hear…but you know them by there ACTIONS–or Fruit!!! Trump called him a LIAR???? Clinton though is the BIGGEST LIAR— We do not have large enough PRISON Space for those who are complicit to a criminal like Hillary in aiding and abetting her movement that should only wind up in PRISON–What Total IGNORANCE!!! A total wack job in Hillary that people need to Place her in Prison from WATERGATE, WHITEWATER, AND NOW BENGHAZI!!! This is the best example of the lost condition of HUMAN Nature!! ISAIAH 59—(Read Isaiah 59:9-15)
Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save,
nor his ear too dull to hear.
2 But your iniquities have separated
you from your God;
your sins have hidden his face from you,
so that he will not hear.
3 For your hands are stained with blood,
your fingers with guilt.
Your lips have spoken falsely,
and your tongue mutters wicked things.
4 No one calls for justice;
no one pleads a case with integrity.
They rely on empty arguments, they utter lies;
they conceive trouble and give birth to evil.
5 They hatch the eggs of vipers
and spin a spider’s web.
Whoever eats their eggs will die,
and when one is broken, an adder is hatched.
6 Their cobwebs are useless for clothing;
they cannot cover themselves with what they make.
Their deeds are evil deeds,
and acts of violence are in their hands.
7 Their feet rush into sin;
they are swift to shed innocent blood.
They pursue evil schemes;
acts of violence mark their ways.
8 The way of peace they do not know;
there is no justice in their paths.
They have turned them into crooked roads;
no one who walks along them will know peace.
9 So justice is far from us,
and righteousness does not reach us.
We look for light, but all is darkness;
for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows.
10 Like the blind we grope along the wall,
feeling our way like people without eyes.
At midday we stumble as if it were twilight;
among the strong, we are like the dead.
11 We all growl like bears;
we moan mournfully like doves.
We look for justice, but find none;
for deliverance, but it is far away.
12 For our offenses are many in your sight,
and our sins testify against us.
Our offenses are ever with us,
and we acknowledge our iniquities:
13 rebellion and treachery against the Lord,
turning our backs on our God,
inciting revolt and oppression,
uttering lies our hearts have conceived.
14 So justice is driven back,
and righteousness stands at a distance;
truth has stumbled in the streets,
honesty cannot enter.
15 Truth is nowhere to be found,
and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey—This is whats happening in CHICAGO!!!
If our prayers are not answered, and the salvation we wait for is not wrought for us, it is not because God is weary of hearing prayer, but because we are weary of praying. See here sin in true colours, exceedingly sinful; and see sin in its consequences, exceedingly hurtful, separating from God, and so separating us, not only from all good, but to all evil. Yet numbers feed, to their own destruction, on infidel and wicked systems. Nor can their skill or craft, in devising schemes, as the spider weaves its web, deliver or save them. No schemes of self-wrought salvation shall avail those who despise the Redeemer’s robe of righteousness. Every man who is destitute of the Spirit of Christ, runs swiftly to evil of some sort; but those regardless of Divine truth and justice, are strangers to peace.
If we shut our eyes against the light of Divine truth, it is just with God to hide from our eyes the things that belong to our peace. The sins of those who profess themselves God’s people, are worse than the sins of others. And the sins of a nation bring public judgments, when not restrained by public justice. Men may murmur under calamities, but nothing will truly profit while they reject Christ and his gospel.
I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT PUTIN NEWS!
WHY IS THERE NO ARTICLE IN THE HORN ABOUT THE PLANNED ATTACK OF VIOLENT PROTESTERS DISRUPTING DONALD TRUMP RALLY IN CHICAGO?
My 1st Amendment Rights were denied yesterday at the TRUMP RALLY in Chicago after physically violent protests were instigated by aggressive minority groups, and taking over the stage – forcing the event to be cancelled! We were harassed and taunted. WORSE YET – The GOP and ESTABLISHMENT Candidate responses from TED CRUZ, MARCO RUBIO, and JOHN KASICH PROVE THEY SHOULD NOT RECEIVE A SINGLE VOTE FROM ANY REPUBLICAN. They DO NOT represent what America is all about – Life and Liberty. CRUZ, RUBIO, and KASICH FAILED to at lest support Trump and Trump Supporter 1st Amendment rights to free speech, or even backed Trump as a fellow Republican Candidate.
I BELIEVE THAT ADVERSITY TELLS US THE TRUTH ABOUT OURSLEVES.
Below are some basic facts and why the American Majority MUST further increase our resolve to be heard and back only 1 Candidate – and that is AMERICAN DONALD TRUMP.
1) JOHN KASICH – Says Trump creates a toxic environment (by telling the truth), and Failed to support AMERICANS 1st Amendment Rights.
2) TED CRUZ – Blames Trump, and Failed to support AMERICANS 1st Amendment Rights.
3) MARCO RUBIO – Blames Trump, says he would rather support Hillary Clinton over Trump, and Failed to support AMERICANS 1st Amendment Rights.
4) DEMOCRAT U.S. Representative LUIS GUTIERREZ (of CHICAGO) called on people to show up at Trump Rally and strongly express opposition against Trump and his supporters. GUTIERREZ PUBLICALLY and specifically called to organize LGBT communities, Latinos, Blacks, Muslims, and several other groups to aggressively invade the Trump Rally. DOES THAT SOUND LIKE AMERICA COMRADE ?
5) DEMOCRAT Bernie Sanders supporting group MOVEON.ORG organized the violent minority protest group as well. Claiming it was a success. THEY DENIED MY RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH.
wow, love this
what the Cruz camp did was unethical to say the least. and amounted to stealing votes. I think Ted KNOWS that and this will come back to haunt him.
AMEN!
Gee I guess anyone can be bought
Ted Cruz never said a bad thing about Dr Carson
How Dr Carson could endorse someone who once said Ben Carson was like a child molester
He also stated about Dr Carsons Christianity “He went in a bathroom & came out a Christian, I dont think sooo!!”
These are Trumps words about Carson. I just heard the tape
Trump hinted that if he’s elected, he’ll make room for his former rival Dr. Ben Carson in his cabinet.
“I was with Dr. Ben Carson today, who is endorsing me, by the way, tomorrow morning, and he is…We were talking. We spoke for over an hour on education. And he has such a great handle on it. He wants competitive schools. He wants a lot of different things that are terrific, including charter schools, by the way, that the unions are fighting like crazy. But charter schools work and they work very well.
“So there are a lot of things. But I’m going to have Ben very involved with education, something that’s an expertise of his.”
TSK TSK Dr Carson
Not true as far as the Cruz campaign`s dirty tactics. After Cruz apologized, the implications continued in SC. A sincere apology shod have brought an end to the deceptive statements, but it didn’t.
Apologizing for something does not do much good… not everything can be nullified by an apology.. What Cruz did in SC is totally outrageous… apology is actually inappropriate gesture, at best..it is totally disregarding the act more likely. Ted Cruz falsified information about another person and gained advantage in a process, this is legally actionable event.
My sentiments exactly !!! The best thing for Dr. Carson would’ve been to walk away without endorsing anybody especially somebody jokes about his Christian faith
This is the difference between you and Dr. Ben Carson, a good person, a highly successful doctor and a good Christian!
I guess you missed it when trump said it was a disgrace to what Cruz did to Carson. Stealing votes outweighs policitical smack. But go ahead, stick with Cruz. It is your right to do so.
Cruz and his camp pulled “dirty tricks” on Carson. You act like you did not know that or did you just miss it??
I think it’s great that the two of them at this point have mutual respect for each other. Could be a win win situation in an area to help many Americans. If CRUZ had lied and stolen from me, don’t think he would have my respect or support at any time
Good. Ove by Carson!
Ted Cruz makes me think of a snake oil salesman from the old days. But some things never change. He cost Ben Cruz in Iowa by putting out the word that he suspended his race. Cruz passed out flyers that said you had to vote for him or you would be breaking the law. Mr. Trump was the only one that brought this up time after time. This is the Obama campaign all over again. And you will see that Mr. Trump has something very interesting to reveal that NONE of the remaining candidates on either side is making you aware of what is in the mix. Just like the Health Care Bill. Wake up you youngins. You are going to get slaughtered behind anyone else besides Trump. All the talk about making it a better “America” for our children is garbage. Make it good now and you will be glad to give your vote to Trump. The Congress and the Senate is setting a trap that you will not like and will be unable to tolerate. Kiss your future good bye. Sanders is out of his mind. NOTHING IS FREE. Hit the Representatives in State and Federal government and put their feet to the fire. They have all double crossed you and me and just about everyone. Stand up to the plate and face the facts. you are listening to fairytales. By the way…”there was never a white man that built the White House.” If you are of color YOU ARE NOT FREE.
Yea now we have two of the best ever to try to fix this country. Between them both they can try to put their heads to gether and make this country great again. We have to work real hard to get him elected and let them go to work as Donald Trump will put the best he can find to head up our military, our healthcare, our taxes, our schools and our taxes. He will work to make this American our American and we can help by voting him in the WhiteHouse. I have been to two of his rallys and he is a really great man who like his son said is a
“Blue colar Billionaire.” he believes in working for what you get, he believes in making jobs for the American people and to keep our laws and beliefs like we were raised and our parents were raised to work hard and have jobs for all that want them. VOTE TRUMP
I supported DR. Carson and still do. I am delighted that he endorsed Donald Trump. Both are intelligent men and hopefully, he will have a great place in the cabinet or whatever he chooses to do.- let’s vote for trump . He certainly would do better than Cruz who is not liked and hillary and bernie.
I have worried about Trump and his impetuous decisions and had to believe that he would “hire” a strong support team as he has in his businesses who will save his ass and ours when he gets too out of control.
I tell myself this because I have no choice. It’s Trump or Hillary and that’s no choice at all.
I KNOW Hillary is evil. I only suspect that Donald may be incompetent.
Give Donald Trump a re-think. You will determine , I think , a man that will be very good for the people of this country. I believe that he will make everything very good for the common man , woman and child.. He won’t be bowing to no foreign leaders or having Muslim prayer in the White House. Reverend Jackson and Reverend Sharpton won’t be spending anymore nights in our White House or having lunch there.
Donald Trump was born to save our country starting in the year of our Lord January 20th , 2017. Please rethink your thoughts.
I agree with you so much that I don’t have to say a word. Trump will do the best for all us.
totally agree with your statement. I am for with Trump.
Shirley, very well said and very correct. Stand up for America, Stand up and support TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP for our wonderful country.
Well said!!!!! GO TRUMP
I’m in Florida and voted Trump and everyone e I know is voting Trump it is our last hope for a change. We will all be making 2 dollars an hour if the establishment have there way. Rubio is an anchor baby, Kasich is a weekling who wants Immagration of coarse he has a job. Cruz is from Canada, Clinton should. Be in jail and Sanders is a Communist. I Voted Trump .
Carson and Trump did not have negative talk to each other. That was Cruz and Trump slapping hands behind Trumps back to strike at Trump constantly. I never heard anything between Trump and Carson but smiles and handshakes. Cruz and Rubio have said they will not do it anymore. But Rubio said that cause he lost. They are still at it but by smaller less noticeable in the last debate. Cruz, and his workers emailed Carson’s voters and told them Carson had dropped out. Cruz lied and never apologized. Carson had not dropped out. His wife was so embarrassed when this was said at the group she was talking too. Then Cruz did the same thing to another candidate. Cruz is the worst kind of attack dog and liar about 2 different presidential candidates. Trump Is presidential material. He was struck contantly by Rubio and Trump like dogs nipping at his heels. He is a man an a Macho man who fights back.
c
I know you met by Rubio and CRUZ, and what you have stated is CORRECT. “WE THE PEOPLE ARE SPEAKING OUT. THIS IS OUR COUNTRY AND THE WHITEHOUSE IS THE PEOPLES HOUSE”. TRUMP and CARSON are two brilliant men. Assets to the people of this country
Cruz has shown numerous times that he can not be trusted. Integrity is important to a man like Dr. Carson. From people who know him well and from former employees, Trump has integrity
Absolutely CORRECT! !!!
Stacey, this campaign has been riddled with nothing but negative comments by all parties ☺️
I THINK IT TOOK ALL OF TWO SECONDS TO LET THE IDEA OF ENDORSING CRUZ FALL FROM THE WONDERFUL DOCTOR’S MIND! GOD BLESS DR CARSON, AND GOD BLESS DONALD TRUMP!!!
Two extremely smart men working toward the right result
Cruz did not pull any dirty tricks. CNN reported that it looked like Carson maybe getting out of the race. A caucus is a process on trying to convince voters to vote for you. Cruz was on the ball and figured he should try to get Carson’s votes before the others try. Perfectly leagal and not dirty.
John: Cruz is a establishment in sheeps clothing!! Ted Cruz is just another name for BUSH!!! Do your research on Ted Cruz!! New World Order!! North American Union!!! CFR!!! He is a phony!!
great get….great man……let’s get it done
Absolutely!!!
Vice President candidate?
My thoughts exactly! If Trump chooses him as his VP, I believe he will have it in the bag!
I hope trump has carson as his vp
Surgeon General
If Trump is smart he’ll make Doctor Ben Carson the Surgeon General because he will be very comfortable in that position and do a wonderful job.
I agree he would make good vice….president.
I don’t think so, but a very good position to do important things within the TRUMP presidency
I don’t think so, but a very good position to do important things within the TRUMP presidency. Vice president is not the position for Ben
James, I agree completely. Dr. Ben Carson is a truly amazing man !
I can’t be more excited ( well maybe to hear he is Trumps VP choice ) Trump and Carson, all the way to the White house………………
Agree about Ben Carson. However Cruz should have a important role in a new administration . He has the best Constitutional knowledge. Supreme Court Justice or Attorney General? Sounds good.
Amen! Great idea!
If Cruz has such a great knowledge of the Constitution, then he would know that he isn’t eligible to run for the presidency as stated in the Constitution? Cruz may not be a US citizen, he may have gotten in under Reagan’s amnesty bill back in the 80s. If he is a US citizen, then he should have a form called Consular Report of US Citizen Born Abroad. This form is required to report the birth of a US citizen is born abroad. If he doesn’t release this form, its probably because he doesn’t have one. And if he doesn’t have one, then he isn’t a US citizen. Pure and simple. Period. End of Story.
Barbara: If Cruz was such a good consitutionlist he would not be running for president!!! He is not a natural born citizen!!
Hello James Cullinane it is rare that I see my last name in the comments section, so my cmments are::
Bilery for jail
Trump for president.
Carson for V.P.
Lets put some one in the Whitehouse from out side the beltway,The people who are from inside the beltway only know how to pass laws that they do not have to abide by. That is a collective Dictatorship!
Ben Carson is a very good man. He came across as quiet and somewhat meek. At another place and another time he might have gone further in his bid for president. Dr. Carson can be trusted, like Trump can be trusted. They both have the American peoples best interest at heart. Neither of them are in it for themselves.
I am not surprised that Dr. Carson has endorsed Trump. Working together they can hopefully Save this Country.
I pray for them every day.
The good has to triumph over the evil.
I could not agree more. The Washington Elites forgot they work for us and have too long been digging into our
now worn out pockets!!! We the people who are the backbone of this country are sick of it. From the beginning
I felt Mr. Trump and Dr. Carson would unite because they are men of integrity who do what they say and say what
they mean. Together we will reclaim the America we have loved and worked so hard for!!! God protect and
continue to Bless these two good men and this great country who belongs to the Lord who granted it to us!
We are grateful.
Right On the money Glenda!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ms. Glenda. I wholeheartedly agree!!
Well said I agree two Good men.
Hopefully Trump President and, Carson Vice President
i
I agree. I always thought they’d make a good team!
It’s hard to guess why anyone would trust Donald Trump. His two former wives made that mistake. Surely people today should know better. I do not trust an habitual liar to now tell the truth. I certainly will not vote for Donald Trump for President.
The two former wives support trump. obviously you refuse to face facts.
Look at the children he’s raised! No matter he and the women couldn’t get along!
to ray if you do not trust a habitual lier you would vote for hillery?
You are probably one of the jerks who voted for obama and look where that has gotten us. All my life I have been a democrat but I’d be damned to vote for Hillery Clinton as she has been helping obama destroy America and talk about liars. That woman should be in prison. She’s one of the biggest liars of this century. My vote goes to Trump even though he is a rebublican. Sometimes you need to go with the lesser of the 2 evils. The people are tired of all the crap that comes out of washington. It’s time for a change. Trump is the man to do the job at hand. He will bow to no country like the idiot in the white house now.
Well said Elaine….
Anybody who can make a billion dollars in the US system gets my vote an he’s ooutsider not part of the problem
Ray Downen, his former two wives made out very well and both say he will make an excellent president, he is a wonderful father and a good man. They have remained friends over the years, so I don’t know where your comment comes from. Unless Mr. Trump has done something to you personally, I implore you to really research what he has done for his employees all over the world and really search your heart and see if he means well for the people or not. He didn’t create the mess this country is in, but just maybe he can stir things up enough to fix it, if he has the people behind him. We don’t need business as usual in Washington, we need a commander and chief that will show strength right now.
You must remember President Reagan ! He was divorced from actress Jane Wyman. He then married Nancy Davis who then became Mrs. Nancy Reagan. First Lady of California and finally , First Lady of the United States of America. Her funeral was today on national Television.
President Reagan did quite well with his second wife. Many millions of Americans loved both of them. He is the best president that this country has had in over 100 years.
Donald Trump will do the same for the very same country.
I can’t believe how stupid you are. We need a businessman in this country. You must be establishment who wants the same old lawyers, crooks running the USA. Stuffing money in there own pockets. That is what we have had for years. Immagration. We don’t know who’s here but they come in and get welfare food stamps free health care. That has to stop or we don’t have a country anymore. I voted Trump in Florida
So Ray you are perfect and have no faults!!! Really!! Because he has two former wives!!! You HYPOCRITE!!! God used many hero’s in the bible and they all had faults!!! King David was a murdered and adultery and God used him. Sometimes God uses unusually people to accomplish what nobody else will!! Are you living in lala land???
we believe that Donald Trump should be president of the U.S.A.He and Dr.Ben Carson are good
and honest people.Go Trump 2016..
I agree he is a wonderful man he just join the people like christy that have been bought by the Donald…
Amen. We all need to pray for our country every day. It really does seem like it is Good vs. Evil. I believe Trump can turn the country around by surrounding himself with brilliant people like Ronald Reagan did. (Not meant to compare Trump to Reagan)
Pray for more negotiations for our country and not the “my way or the highway” we have seen during Odumbos rule, not serving the US like all elected officials are supposed to do!
Glad to hear this!! I liked Ben Carson all along but I could tell he was such a nice quiet sweet natured man but he didn’t have the strength and leadership needed for our troubled country. I am a little nervous about Florida. The media has constantly reported and commented Rubio will be done if he doesn’t get his home state. So sympathy votes plus early voting done awhile back may help him take the state. That would be a shame and wasted delegates. Really hoping the people of Florida realize this and Support Trump 2016!!!!
100 % on board with that statement. Sympathy votes can be scary but oh so real. What a disgrace if Rubio wins that state. It will keep the absurd amount of money flowing that’s spent on a presidential candidate that’s going nowhere!!
I am thinking Florida will go to Trump. There was so many Trump supporters outside the debate and so many anti Rubio people outside they said everyone was afraid it was going to spill into the debate. Makes a person wonder who all was in the crowd making so much noise for every little thing Rubio said. It was very apparent that they had all been trained to applause everything Rubio said. Trump 2016
Trump 2016!!!
Absolutely Right!
We reside in Florida and Little Marco is a turn-coat rat! He is totally for Amnesty for all of the illegals in the country. NEVER FORGET THE GANG OF 8 BILL that Little Marco sponsored.
any man who hooks up with Schumer and Reid is NOT a conservative no matter what he says. Rubio will NOT live that alliance down. he is no better that Mc and MC + Boehner.
Rubio is an anchor baby. I live in Florida he needs to go back to Cuba. Can’t stand him. He got voted in by the tea party and did not do what he said he was going to do he lied. He is just another lawyer crook lying. Voted Trump
If illegals were not aloud to vote and minorities had to actually pay into the system to vote, he’d be a shoe in. Thats the way it should be!!!!!!!!
I met a wonderful couple from Florida last Friday at the New Orleans Rally for Trump! They say Trump will landslide
it in Florida. Most people are smart enough to realize the Establishment circled the wagons around Rubio after Jeb’s
unsuccessful run. Rubio was the chosen one after that and it was apparent. Don’t they get it…we are sick of their
control of us their “Employers?”
I’m a native floridian & I voted today. When I got there today to vote I was SHOCKED TO SEE ALL THE PEOPLE waiting to vote! The line BLEW ME AWAY & THEN WHEN I REALIZED IT WAS TRUMP EVERYONE DANG PERSON THERE WAS VOTING FOR I bout fell out!! So, if that’s ANY indication of other cities in Fla then RUBIO BETTER BE BITING HIS NAILS CAUSE HIS GOOSE IS TOTALLY COOKED!!!
The GOP/RNC Establishment will pull every trick in the book and then some. PLEASE sign my petition regarding a brokered convention and share with your friends. Thank you! https://www.change.org/p/to-the-republican-national-committee-we-are-watching-you
If you sign this “petition”, where it says y’all won’t vote, if there’s a “brokered convention”. Then y’all will be basically giving the Presidency to Killery Klinton! At least that’s the way I see this “petition”!
If I’m reading it wrong. Please inform me how it will accomplish anything!?
Am a trump supporter all the way know matter what party he’s runs in Republican or theurd party but never a dummercrat.
We the American Voters have a God Given Right to Electe who want! Not have them Chosen by the GOP/ RNC! You’ve run America in the ground! Donald Trump will be our Best President not because his an EX Democrant but because he’s a Very Smart man, and Can’t be Bought!
This is outstanding. Cruze is so full of himself and just the way he talks anymore has made me a Trump man. He lies,cheats and feels it’s him or nobody and is just part or the machine which is destroying America. Rep old school are afraid about loosing all the graft and doing the same old do nothing crap year in and year out and getting paid to take up space in the chambers. Let’s Make America Great Again and put someone in office who cares about the little guy.
VOTE TRUMP 2016
God bless Donald Trump !!!! Donald Trump all the way!!!
This is wonderful news! I have been a Dr.Carson supporter since he announced that he was running. You can’t imagine how upsetting it was to learn he was dropping out of the race. I will gladly support the person that he is backing for president….. Donald Trump!
That’s politics. Can get really nasty. Sad but true. This country is in trouble. Good luck to whomever wins.
Good for Carson! Now for the Glen Beck gong show today. Beck has been on an anti-Trump rampage, his show today should be very entertaining as he pulls out what hair he has left. Oh, and Christie is now Trump’s new policy advisor, Beck should go right off the rails today.
Vote for Mr tromp 200% he is the only one that fits this country and the only one who can make this country great again
A good team !
Love it. Trump/Carson
Sorry folks, but you just lost me!! I was a strong Carson supporter, even sent money for the first time in my life!! Not sure why Carson is doing this or what his agenda is, but Donald Trump will only be another Hillary if he is the nominee! You people are just not looking at, and comprehending his history!! We need a strong constitutional conservative…and there is no way he even comes close to Ronald Reagan!! It’s Cruz for me!
good luck for you and your lying cruse I had hoped ben would hop abord I sent him donations now we have a team that will make America great again
You have been fooled by Cruz. As for Ben Carson backing Trump, he is an honest man and is going to be a wonderful person for a place in a new start to take place in 2017. Trump knows how to hire the right people for the right job. He knows more about rules and finance then anyone else that is running. He did not build a fortune by being a stupid person or a blundering fool . I was married to a man very much like Mr. Trump in how he ran his business. No one really ever got to see the real person except for those who ever got close to him. So if you want to waste your vote go ahead . You will have to live with that.
I agree Glenna! Cruz is the true constitutionalist and will do what’s right for the country. Trump would be my second choice b/c I do believe he would be good (hopefully for the economy) by making better trade deals. I really don’t think he’ll be as tough on illegals as he talks. Also, we need a conservative Justice.
You need to do a little more studying and reflection. Why do you think the Bush family is now on board his financial campaign for Mr. Cruz?? . Study how the Bush Dynasty got started way back, The establishment is scared to death that their gravy train may be coming to a road block. Trump is for the constitutiuon, he is for conservative supreme court justices, our 2nd amendment and not for amnesty, He understands the isis threat. He understands how economics work and how to generate jobs here in America for the American people and bring our businesses back. Our trade deals are destroying our country. The establishment would not support who they can not control. Mr Cruz,s has also taken advantage of ow interest rate loans and his wife helped to get TTP set up even before the American people where aware (INSIDER). of TTP. Sound bites are a distraction if we are going to vote we need to really know what we are voting for and how we want to live going forward. Younger voters need to take time and learn the history they are not learning in school. I am sick of our establishment and glogalist dumbing down our people. Our forefathers must be turning over in their graves. Trump CAN BEAT Clinton….we can not continue on the path as usual…we will not survive as a country. Look seriously at EUROPE do we want to live in fear as they are now. As for Israel, they spin what Trump says ht is there 100% for Isreal, my son is there now ….Trump would give the Palastenians a short window for change. How crazy is it they do not want us to say mother, father, son, daughter. Did you ever think you would see you can change you sexual idenity from day to day., it goes on and on and it needs to stop. To finish I am a Christian and against abortion….how many Christians separate the belief system from the way they vote especially all the liberal bullet points. Trump is for the part of Planned Parenthood that gives women health screening, BUT NOT the ABORTION and selling of Baby Parts. All lives matter……..I want to be able to say GOD BLESS AMERICA AGAIN……Muslims want to practice their religion and impose on others, but are offended when Christians wanted to practice the religion. When you come to this country you assimilate not set up your country here..if you want that stay home and make you own country better….Can you tell I get windy. AND WHY DO WE HAVE ILLEGALS ON OUR WELFARE ROLLS WHEN WE TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN.
Would if Donald Trumps Goal Was To Get Hillary Elected And You’ve All Followed Him And Trusted Him
Blindly. I Know It Is So Energizing To Believe In Someone Again. Your Not Alone In Your Loathe Of
The Current Cabinet, But Just Perhaps He Is Not What He Seems To Be
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!!!!!!!!
Glenna—-Open your eyes. Cruz is a liar and will say whatever he needs to in order to sway the vote his way. Look what he did to Ben Carson saying that he had pulled out of the race , when he knew damned well that was only his wishful thinking but decided it would be a great way to get votes for him if carson wasn’t going to be in the running. Be extremely worried about that man. I think he was born under the sign of satin and if you look deep into his scalp you will probably see the numbers 666.America needs a change. We are tired of the crap that runs washington right now. Trump may not have political experience but he is a businessman and he will establish a cabinet of intellegent thinkers who are concerned about this country to help him and this country will bounce back to be the greatest country on this earth.—-Goooooo Donald. Hope the White House becomes your new home.
To Elaine
regarding Iowa, I think your eyes are shut to what is really going on
FAKE!! Ted Cruz stole the Iowa Caucus
The charge is that the members of the Ted Cruz campaign lied about fellow presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson in order to steal his votes. The truth is that CNN’s Chris Moody, using “two [unnamed] sources, on the record” from Carson’s campaign gave the distinct impression, along with CNN correspondents Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, that Carson was taking a break from campaigning.
Ted Cruz’s people used the information which came out as a “BREAKING” news story right before the caucus. The information was readily available to anyone who had a mobile phone at the Caucus, i.e., everyone. Marco Rubio, Rand Paul and yes, Donald Trump supporters ALL used this information.
Ted Cruz is the only one to apologize, but CNN should apologize publicly to Ted Cruz.
I think you ought to think long and hard as to whose scalp has the mark, it might surprise you!
Glenna-
Are you familiar with the Constitution, Article 2(about the presidency), Section 1(about how to elect and depose, etc. a president) Clause 5(about the qualifications for the president?
Are you familiar with the phrase “natural born,” and do you know what it means?
When you find out, please tell me how Cruz – a Canadian citizen until 2014 – qualifies for the presidency, ok? Did you know that – quite like D’OweBama – he has sealed all his citizenship records? Why do that, do YOU think?
Proud to here Ben Carson has decided to back Donald Trump. Ben is a very smart man and Donald is a very smart man. I believe they can work very will together for the good of our country. Me and my family will be praying for you both. Make America Great Again!!!!
This is a huge move in the right direction. Hillary or Sanders will be toast. I have five black friends in Dallas who strongly favor Carson.
A Trump/Carson team would be the winnng team. I truly hope this is where things are going.
So happy to see people are really coming around to see that we are fortunate to have someone like Donald Trump in the race. I am so upset with the sweet talkers that don’t do anything but talk. Go Donald!!
The 2 non-RINOs make a team? Two outsiders that want to be inside. Personally I would not be disappointed to see the collapse of the establishment empire. The dims and RINOs political machines with bosses. The political parties have, by controlling the funding of campaigns, become too powerful , too influential. Of course they both are controlled by the establishment which likely is 100 years old and is the owners of the fed res system? We have a financial socialism system now. Instead of a political socialism system in Communist and other countries. The only certainty is change, but what the changes will be is unknown, and the world is not a perfect place. Also, govt is the kingdom of man/woman while Christianity is the kingdom of God on earth, . Christianity teaches the right thing to do. But of course not all do the right thing all the time. Not all muslims do the wrong things they are taught. But there is a right and a wrong for human behavior. Which trumps political correctness as the basis for human, and govt, behavior. As a nation we have been victimized by endless irrational spending by elected officials since the end of WWII. We also used to be taught we as individuals are responsible and accountable for our own actions. Perhaps the devil made us do it but he can’t be tried in a court of law so can’t be held responsible for our personal actions. Good, or bad. And my mother never switched the legs of the devil.
Terry-
i have learned from hard experience not to trust christianity at all. i trust Christ, if you catch the distinction.
I expect Carson to be Surgeon General under Trump’s Presidency and things will really happen for the good when those two put there minds together. Trump will need Gentle Ben
to get “Healthcare” off page one.Expect to see Ben around for a while in the Trump Administration.
I would like to see Dr. Carson as Secretary of Health and Human Services. He is someone who knows Health Care and could put forth an Intelligent Alternative to “Obama Care”! I was so glad to see Dr. Carson support Donald Trump and only hope many of his supporters will align with Mr. Trump! I agree that Mr. Trump will surround himself with great people who can really turn this country around and begin to work for “We The People”!
Except for one issue, i liked Carson, too; that issue is “mandatory” inoculations. Anything that Americans can be compelled to do by force – whether physical restraint or under threat of physical violence or at gunpoint – is an assault, plain and simple…and aggravated assault, too, if actual injury is received.
Carson can find NO Constitutional authority for his position, so if, as expected, Carson is rewarded with a post as Surgeon General, then Trump should require Carson to repudiate and abhor any kind of tyranny like forced inoculations, and honor his oath of office as a non-negotiable condition of that appointment.
Besides, the Shrub’s maladministration made it impossible to sue companies that supply vaccines, no matter what damage any inoculee may suffer, whether paralysis, loss of limb, or loss of life itself, so such a situation is completely ripe for abuse – then, too, you have the elites who want everyone microchipped, and today, these nasty buggers are small enough to fit in hypodermic guns!
That was my only concern with Dr. Carson as well. The state of NJ is really trying to push mandatory HIB vaccine on all teenagers. That vaccine is very scary due to its side effects of neurological damage and infertility and did not go through
all the required testing. I agree with you that if Carson is chosen he will promise to get off his mandatory vaccinations stance.
Like all the above comments about Ben Carson and Donald Trump I agree. This is the first time in my life that I see so many with hateful remarks about one man. I do like the theme of Donald Trump and my guess is those political figures on both sides do not like it. This would be the first time in many years that those with the true power (the rich) will not be running things. That is driving our country down for many years now to bring about the NWO which is so apparent now. I believe Donald Trump actually wants to bring America back the way it use to be, has a leader recognized as such around the world. A man that is not depending on the money backers and the political powers. A man given into those that desire to do favors so they can get what they want and do wrong to those who vote them in. I never seen so much hatred for any one candidate. Even the Pope attacked him. I do not agree with Trump with his mud slinging but do think that maybe we should stand behind someone who isn’t owned by anyone. One who actually wants to make American great again. After all, think about it, the platform for many years has been change. Well, we had so much change through the years we don’t recognize our country and it sure isn’t strong and that troubles me. Let’s do what’s right and “Make America Great Again” after all we have had enough “Change”.
It’s not mud slinging, it’s truth telling and we NEED more of that. The problem for the last 15 years is no one was WILLING to TELL the truth. PC has to go, Ben is right! “It is killing us””
Trump should select Dr. Ben Carson to be his Vice President running mate, and Chris Christy his the Attorney General,, Former Governor of Texas Ricky Perry As Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State : Marco Rubio, and his selection for the Supreme Court Nomination Ted Cruz.
Carson is a good guy. Smart too. Before Hillary and her elitist crew ruined the Democratic Party, Trump and he would have been moderate Democrats.
He needs Ben to run with him so he will pull a lot of black votes in to vote for them in general election.
good choice -He would make a good V P too.
This is the best thing that has happened during the entire campaign
I like Carson. Him and Trump will do good for the country. Can’t understand why the stupid establishment idiots don’t get it. That’s why outsiders are doing so well. Trump all the way.
How about Carson for Surgeon General???
Stu-
You posted about 12:30; i posted about 11:30. i gave one VERY good reason why he shouldn’t be Surgeon General, but the same reason applies to being appointed HHS chief, as well – assuming he will NOT repudiate his “mandatory vaccinations” stance, that is.
Totally agree with you!
Somebody said the elite work for us. HELLO, didn’t you know they work for themselves as they are better than We are that is why they are elite..
That being said we need to allow them to keep there republican part and we will have our OWN party called WE THE PEOPLE (The WTP). WE THE PEOPLE are banding together to help the Donald to make America Great again.
GO DONALD TRUMP GO
AL VERY GOOD COMMENT ; TRUMP 2016.
Ted Cruz; IF YOU PEOPLE THINK CRUZ IS ONIST , THEN WHY DID HE FREEZE HIS BIRTH RECORDS JUST LIKE OBAMA DID. THIS PERSON IS NOT A ONIST PERSON PEOPLE HE IS JUST LIKE THE REST OF THE POLLITITONS YOU CAN HERE IT IN HIS SPEECHES. HE WOUNT BE ABLE TO GET THINGS DONE IN OFFICE . IT SHOWED WHEN HE ALL MOST SHUT DOWN THE GOV. WITH HIS FILLABUSTER. TRUMP CAN UNIT BOTH PARTIES THIS IS WHAT AMERICA NEEDS. NOT TO FIGHT FOR ONE SIDE, AND GET NOTHING DONE. BOTH PARTIES NEED TO COME TOGHTER FOR AMERICA TRUMP 2016..
Thank you Dr. Carson, we love you and honestly think that your endorsement for Mr. Trump will help the people of this country and the
Republican Party!!
Go Trump 2016!!!!
I find it very amusing to read all the naive and gushing comments about Trump and Carson.
By the way, this naivete and gullibility is not exclusive to the Trump/Carson fan club.
Its true about everyone who gushes over politicians and “wanna be” politicians on both sides of the aisle.
If you think any of these guys are going to change anything in government, let’s not argue now…talk to me about 2 years from now. That’s when you will start to realize that you’ve been had. Till then, happy dreams.
This comment is in answer to ray sheltons comment——Don’t you think we’ve all been had by the people who are sitting in washington for the past few years and getting away with destroying our constitution. Sounds to me like you are already shell shock. If that is the case wake up and take sides to get our government functioning for its citizens not for a bunch of lobbyests who will do anything to have things go their way. Personally I think the only chance we have is The Donald. He’s not the kind of man who will fall for any kind of bullshit any other country throws at us. He wants America to be in charge. He’s right to say he’s tired of the USA being a baby sitter for other countries. The man has the strength and the conviction to really bring America back to the prosperous nation it once was.
As a resident of Florida I exercised my option to early vote in the primary. I am fortunate enough to have registered as a Republican and had the option of casting my vote for Trump. I am not interested in electing a Pastor, an owned politician, or a “used to be” conservative. The news that Dr Carson, my first choice for the nomination has formally endorsed Trump is not a surprise. Carson has seen that there is real substance behind all that staged huff and puff.
I can only imagine what it must be like to be in that Democrat voting pool and having to vote for Clinton or Bernie. A choice akin to choosing between boiled in oil or being drawn and quartered.
I don’t understand why anyone wa nts to support Cruz. He looks and acts like one pretending to be an evangelical preacher. When you listen closely, you can hear him lie about things being said during the debate. He is filled with venom not love. Carson exudes love. Listen to how Cruz ALWAYS says I, I, I. By himself he is going to do everything. That is a dictatorship. Our government is set up so you have to work together. He won’t.
I hope all these social conservatives who are rushing to endorse Donald Trump will not be disappointed if he becomes president. I’m still concerned that Mr. Trump is a convenient conservative rather than one based on his core beliefs.
I’m in Florida! I, along with the wife, voted FOR Mr. Trump on Tuesday’s early voting!
Here’s an idea I believe might scare the hell outta all the “career dinosaur politicians” in Washington.
How about, on 20 Jan 2017 right after Mr. Trump takes office. He, by Executive Order, makes it illegal for all “elected and appointed officials” to accept anything from lobbyists, businesses and corporations! This would include family menbers as well. No off shore accounts. No receiving anything from other countries. No nothing!
If these scumbuckets can’t do their jobs on what their paid, they don’t need to employed by “We the People!”
That’s part of what I believe! What say y’all?
Crazy Elf-
i think it’s a Good Idea, with a large BUT!
Executive Orders came into existence during Lincoln’s time, and originally they were meant ONLY to apply during the War for State’s Rights(aka Civil War). They were Unconstitutional to begin with. Article 2 shows the LAWFUL powers the president might exercise.
George Washington was offered the Kingship of the new country; he wisely refused, preferring to work together with Congress and the Courts, instead.
Executive orders are lawful under 2 conditions: First, that they be completely IAW the delegated, aka “Lawful” powers granted by the Constitution AND NO MORE; Second, that they apply ONLY to members of the Federal Government’s Executive Branch, ONLY. No one in the Legislative Dept., no one in the Judicial Department, no one in any State, County, Parish, Town or City.
Otherwise, they’re simply dictats from a dictator, not lawful AT ALL.
“No legislative act contrary to the Constitution can be valid. To deny this would be to affirm that the deputy (agent) is greater than his principal; that the servant is above the master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people; that men, acting by virtue of powers may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid. It is not to be supposed that the Constitution could intend to enable the representatives of the people to substitute their will to that of their constituents. A Constitution is, in fact, and must be regarded by judges as fundamental law. If there should happen to be a irreconcilable variance between the two, the Constitution is to be preferred to the statute.”
— Alexander Hamilton(1757-1804)
Source: Federalist Papers #78, See also Warning v. The Mayor of Savannah, 60 Georgia, P.93; First Trust Co. v. Smith, 277 SW 762, Marbury v. Madison, 2 L Ed 60; and Am.Juris. 2d Constitutional Law, section 177-178)
“That the people have an original right to establish, for their future government, such principles as, in their opinion, shall most conduce to their own happiness, is the basis, on which the whole American fabric has been erected…. The principles, therefore, so
established, are deemed fundamental. And as the authority, from which they proceed, is supreme … they are designed to be permanent…. The powers of the legislature are defined, and limited; and that those limits may not be mistaken, or forgotten, the constitution is written.”
— Justice John Marshall(1755-1835) US Supreme Court Chief Justice
Source: Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. (1 Cranch.) 137, 176 (1803)
Both of the foregoing citations refer only to the LawMaking Branch, unfortunately – but back then, it was presumed that neither the Executive NOR the Judicial branch would usurp the power of Congress and start MAKING law, since that is NOT the power delegated to either of these non-lawmaking branches. We have seen SCOTUS repeatedly make “rulings” that effectively change the Constitution on multiple occasions, all of which should be struck down and those voting in favor either be removed from office for felony perjury(lying under oath) or have their rulings completely invalidated(if they’re dead). Same with E.O.’s; any and all E.O.’s which add to the LAWFUL powers the president may exercise are invalid on their faces, and should also be immediately removed from having any actual power whatsoever, then those who WROTE them should also be arrested and tried for Oath-breaking Felony Perjury.
Well, that’s if anyone hopes to stuff the USG back into it’s genie’s bottle, that is.
“In questions of power, then, let no more be said of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.”
— Thomas Jefferson(1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President
Those who wrote and ratified the Constitution had far-seeing powers, and most of what they prophesied (should Americans grow lax in their power to control their governors) has come to pass exactly as they predicted long ago.
So now Rubio has taken up the Vote for anyone but Trump.

Dr. Carson is a humble and spiritual human being who has pursued a profession in the medical field with great success. I have great respect for him and I wish him well throughout his life.
•1. Raphael & Eleanor Cruz emigrated to Canada sometime in the 1960s and in 1968 Mr. Cruz became a naturalized Canadian Citizen. It appears that Eleanor by virtue of her marriage also attained Citizenship one year later and Raphael Eduardo (Ted) Cruz was born December 22, 1970. We have never seen their Marriage License so I am unsure of their actual date of marriage as both were in process of getting divorced.
•2. Until the 1977 changes to Canadian Immigration Law, NO dual citizenship was permitted which means Mrs. Cruz relinquished her US Citizenship and Ted was born to 2 Canadian parents.
•3. If she wanted to be sure Ted was American she needed to file a Consular Record of Birth Abroad (CRBA). We have never seen such a document.
• 4. Upon their return to the U.S. around 1974-1975 I assume Eleanor renounced her Canadian citizenship, reclaimed her U.S. and had Ted naturalized. Again, no documents have ever been released.

It is a clear to me that the very rich people and the big companies who give them all the money they want just to indice votes going their way is really how our government is run. A rich man like Trump who doesn’t need their money and has clearly said so will disrupt that process and thank God for him. It is about time our government really looked out for its prople. Trump is the answer and this is the time to turn this country back around. Vote for yourselves and elect Donald Trump no matter what party you,are affiliated with. Just saying.
And yes Dr Carson would be an ideal vp.
Finally we discover that both Christie and Carson are just two POS’s politically speaking.
Wow you guys are all spot on, I like Elf’s idea… You should send that one to trump
Dr Carson Would be a great VP keeping the Donald in check and helping bring the Nation together again to be who we are the greatest nation in the worlid. He nor Dr Carson will be oweing to no one except to the people who elected them to get this country back on track.
If I were Trump, I’d make this man my running mate.
You got that right. It is so important that for the sake of the country, we win. For us to win, I THINK Trump and Carson would make a great team. Carson has such good ideas for healing this Nation and Trump the know how to get it done.
I am happy that Sanders has endorsed Mr Trump. Now we have a viable candidates to bring America to the strongest Nation we can be. No more establishment trying to BULLY US anymore.We can become what our Forefathers wanted us to be. The Establishment has abused our Constitution, Our Rights and The American People. Yes Establishment we put you in Congress to do what We the People want not what you and your Cronies want. Remember we put you there and we can vote you out. So Listen to your constituents or go home.
To all you Trump supporters. You really like his stance on immigration, RIGHT?
Who do you think started pushing for the wall first,CRUZ or TRUMP
WRONG !
It was Ted Cruz in 2013 who tried to push legislation through to add more border patrol agents & build
a fence, This at the same time Donald Trump was for amnesty
Look it up. There are many articles on it. This is just one article
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2016/01/did_donald_trump_get_the_idea_for_a_border_fence_from_ted_cruz.html
B.C.-
Imagine that! A Canadian citizen trying to get Mexican border legislation passed.
(always remember and never forget that Cruz didn’t relinquish his canadian citizenship until 2014.)
So if you’re shilling to have yet another Unqualified candidate for the presidency sit the office, you’re too late; virtually all of us know that Cruz is not going to be president for the simple fact that he does not meet the qualifications stated in Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5.
To cite the eminent bards:
“I get on my knees and pray … we don’t get fooled again!“
B.C.-
i suspect you may have noticed by now that your post was not, in fact, deleted; i have found that it’s sometimes necessary to refresh the page before you can see your post – not always, but sometimes.
So your point is that Cruz – at the time, a CANADIAN citizen – was for protecting the border while Trump was for amnesty, is that right?
In fairly recent days, it came to light that there’s an ISIS training camp in Mexico about 8 mi. from the Texas border, in an area so controlled by a drug lord that the Mexican army is afraid to go in there.
Do you think it possible that Trump became better-informed, and so changed his mind – or would you instead contend that Trump changed his mind for political expediency and votes? OR, could it have been both?
After all, even Hitler spoke rightly on several subjects, and even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in awhile. Just because Cruz is completely ineligible to be president doesn’t mean that ALL of his ideas are no good. FMO, a wise individual will change their mind when new data comes in which refutes a previously-held position. What do you think?
My My My
The Horn news has removed my posting
Is it because the are pro Trump
I made a statement about Ted Cruz being the the first to initiate legislation regarding a stronger border, more border patrol agents & building a fence. this was in 2013. At the same time Donald Trump was promoting amnesty
Look it up
Perhaps Carson saw a possible opportunity for Vice President. Are our Voters so forgetful, or is it ignorance, that they do not realize we are where we are today because of the CLINTON’s & BUSH’s, How could they possibly think of voting for HILLARY?
I cannot believe there are so many Trumpsters jumping all over this story. It looks like there are more Democrats placing comments of their disruptive insults and propaganda attempting to lead the reactionary sheepeles away from the truth.
There have been some who are not blindly carrying on the lies of the Trump and democrat machine and actually paying attention to the narrative of CNN and other media who erroneously reported the story of Dr. Carson, causing the confusion that had been reacted too by the Cruz camp.
If I were a candidate and I had heard that one of my opponents was leaving the race, no matter the reason; I would be jumping all over the fact in an attempt to garner as many of the supporting electorate to my side as possible. That is if I truly wanted to win the race.
I am sure Dr. Carson has made a decision that he feels will be the best for him. However, if the Donald does not obtain the nomination, I truly doubt the republican nominee will exclude Dr. Carson and any other candidate who had ran in this race from being considered as part of their cabinet.
Just saying!
