Either way, he was in a lot of pain, under the effects of pain medication or both during the debates. The operation was a success, but the campaign died.

IIRC one of the moderators at the CNBC debate did call Carson out on his bullshit 10% tax plan at which time Carson said that by 10% he meant 15% and got called out on it again because the numbers still didn't work and OMG UNFAIR MEDIA ATTACK

 one of Carson's advisors just admitted on MSNBC that from "Carson's perspective", he's being singled out...but yes, plenty of former/present candidates have been scrutinized just as much or more.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:It sure is nice that we only pay federal income tax and not a bunch of other taxes that are generally far more regressive. Example? The vast majority of federal tax revenues come from income and payroll. Property and sales tax are for state, county, city, and neighborhood revenues.

Not that I think he will win but even the thought is pretty terrifying.

What is more surprising about the rise of Ben Carson is that Trump appears to have roughly ~20% hard support. This is higher in some states and lower in others, obviously, but that's an impressive number for November with so large a field. He retains all of his deficiencies and will almost certainly not be the nominee, but a crux of support forming this early in a very crowded field is a valuable thing.

Hillary/Castro would clown them on every demographic and in every debate. I can see Carson fumbling and apologizing to Clinton about abortion already.
