I agree, why wasn't Obama singled out for not stabbing one of his friends as a child or saying that the pyramids were granaries? This is just a partisan digital witch hunt lynch mob.

Conservatives wanted to "investigate" Obama over poo poo they had made up like the birth certificate, calling him a Muslim, etc.
But looking too closely at one of their presidential candidate's lies? drat MSM, why didn't they ever spin up outrage about Obama's autobiography??
Oh wait, they did.

You'd think the west point thing would hurt him among the "ARE TROOPS" crowd. Assuming they can put two and two together about west point being army.

My military Facebook folks are making fun of him as well for calling it a "scholarship" to west point when they're actually referred to as appointments.

When Carson drops out is less important than the identity of the next clown in the center ring.

I'm guessing Cruz right now, but that could change next week

Yup, it's most likely to be whomever has a breakout performance at the next debate.

Unless Carson has a good debate performance (spoiler: :lol:)

*Sigh* Very well. Good afternoon, my name is Doctor Ben Carson, I am the attending. I invite you to remain for a moment although I will not be taking questions after. At exactly 12:00 PM, EST, December 10th, 2015, the Ben Carson presidential campaign has passed. The cause of death was determined to be severe and unrelenting nonsense and incompetence. I am sorry for my loss and understand that this is a difficult time for myself. I refer you to Mr. Berry Bennet for any further questions or concerns you may have.

This won't hurt Carson at all. I woke up to my mom posting "Well Ben Carson made the media look like fools," on Facebook.

I think he might actually have psychological issues. A delusional narcissism, but I'm not a psychologist.

Given that these stories are running in conservative establishment and/or respected media, it will likely ultimately factor down the road once more candidates drop out. But you are right, it will not significantly dent his current base.
