Ben Carson: Politics 'is a slimy thing'

You did not need a ticket to attend, however, only 750 people were allowed inside. His campaign looked great on paper, but the momentum of it drained a bit more every time Dr. Ben Carson had to opine on some actual issue, so here we are.

So far, it hasn't worked.

But here at this Northeast Tarrant County event, Carson supporters remain resolute, although many appear well aware that any vote for him could be for toward a lost cause.

Carson's fundraising has fallen dramatically from the days when he was taking in more money than any other GOP candidate and challenging Trump atop the polls.

"Any resemblances to the current situation are purely coincidental", Carson said, as a capacity crowd laughed and applauded. Ben Carson isn't going to win the Republican nomination.

Carson, who has faded in the polls after being near the top of a large Republican field earlier this year, didn't about talk Tuesday's primary in Alabama.

Paul dropped out of the presiden­tial race following the Iowa caucus. Ted Cruz has the lead in his home state of Texas.

Inside Carson's Residence Inn suite near Washington's Dupont Circle at 9:30 p.m., King said, he met with Carson for about 45 minutes.

"I don't think it's useful to divulge that because they would be certainly unhappy if I did", Carson told MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski Tuesday on "Morning Joe". More GOP candidates are expected to come to Kentucky. He blamed news reports, not Cruz surrogates, for suggesting Carson was getting out. "I would have the smallest Navy since 1917, the smallest Air Force and the oldest since 1940 through the sequester", Carson said. "If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't have sent any information out, but that's knowing what I know now".

At times this decision has put me at a disadvantage, subjecting my supporters to underhanded tricks from other campaigns.

Ben Carson is a true conservative. King said he felt it was "productive". She said that is what he is attempting to do in this presidential campaign.

Again, the meeting had the opposite effect of what Cruz's team intended.

"Our country is in bad shape, and I feel like he can turn our nation around", Hicks said. "Dr. Carson will never sell his integrity for his office". "He plays dirty pool..." She said he told God, "If you open the doors, I'll walk through".

At the same debate, Rubio dubbed it "a disturbing pattern".

On Monday, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson spoke at a rally at the HIT Center in south Lexington that attracted about 1,000 people. "He's lying about all sorts of things".

"He's not getting into the muck", Kidwell said, referring to barbs levied by competing candidates Donald Trump and Sens.

"There are a lot of mental facilities that are laying empty right now because we have decided as a society that it's too expensive to take care of these people", Carson said. "Now they've all caught up with us", he said. Who knows; in a Trump administration it might be worth a spot at the Pentagon.
