Oh right. Ben Carson is still running. Oh, and he's mad at Trump.
[P]residential candidate Ben Carson accused GOP front-runner Donald Trump on Wednesday of spreading "rumors" about his past that contributed to "unprecedented attacks" on his character. [...]
Asked whether he thought Trump had been dishonest, Carson said: "He was very dishonest."
Trump, you will recall, was one of the people who doubted Carson's story about once stabbing a child. That. Bastard.
But it's been a while since we last sat down with Dr. Ben Carson, so let's see what's on his mind of late. Dr. Carson, you've tanked in the Iowa polls. What's the deal with that?
"A lot of the people who are supporting us are people who have not traditionally been in the political arena. And those are people who are not polled. You only poll likely voters," the retired neurosurgeon told reporters at a Bloomberg Politics Breakfast Briefing in Des Moines.
Well there you go: If you count all the people who aren't likely to bother to show up to vote for him, Dr. Ben Carson thinks he'd do a bang-up job.
We now return to our normal lives of not really paying much attention to Ben Carson, who seems to have learned to stop putting his foot in his mouth and who therefore has become too boring for his own voters. This has been an odd campaign season so far. Nobody has fallen by the wayside after a gaffe or scandal has proved too much for them to overcome. Instead, they merely drift away. I would have pinned Carson as someone who would have gaffed his way to oblivion, but he seems to have done it just as efficiently by standing up in front of podiums and saying nothing at all.
