Ben Carson Getting No Sympathy From GOP Rivals

He has been traveling the country to meet with candidates, simply to hand them a flower and ask them to pray for peace with him.

It’s the media, though, that may be under the most scrutiny for Tuesday night’s showdown, the nation’s newest version of must-see reality TV. The charges – which have surfaced along with questions about his personal finances as an issue for the GOP candidate in the 2016 campaign – are listed in two years (2007-’08) of statements obtained by ABC News that have been widely circulated in Florida political circles since Rubio ran for Senate in 2010.

“I guess a book was written, I don’t know where this all came from, but a book was written before he ran for politics, but he said he has pathological disease in the book”. “But I have news for them”. “Have a political SWAT team ready, because they are going to try and destroy you in ways you don’t expect”, Cain said in an interview after a Donald Trump rally.

Bush may have the most to lose.

Firstly, can Jeb Bush live up to his new campaign slogan, “Jeb will fix it”? The GOP faces an exceedingly tough map, requiring a near complete sweep of the swing states, while Democrats-who start off with more likely electoral votes owing to their power in larger states- can foil Republican chances with a few strategic pick-ups.

He courted Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker on Monday, praising his one-time White House rival’s embrace of charter schools.

It is not fair to Republicans for a Republican candidate to not be vetted. Appointments to the service academies-West Point, the Naval Academy, the Air Force Academy- are usually made through a member of Congress. But still, Politico’s story that he “fabricated” the claim was an overreach on the part of the news site, and it now appears clear that Carson probably was told by General William Westmoreland or by Carson’s own ROTC commander that he could get into West Point if he desired.

Mike Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor, said when he heard Carson’s complaints about the media, “I’m thinking pal, you ain’t seen nothing yet”.

“I’m getting special scrutiny. If the networks are claiming to cover the presidential race ‘every step of the way, ‘ as one network likes to say, then they need to cover all of the major candidates, such as those who are participating in the prime time national debates”, wrote Noyes. “If you’ve got a real scandal, if you’ve got something that’s really important, let’s talk about that”. Obama’s citizenship was questioned and he later released a birth certificate showing that he was born in Hawaii.

His surge to prominence last month began with his passionate, pointed debate defense of his Senate voting record.

The GOP Milwaukee debate is the fourth for Republican presidential candidates.

That’s a common refrain from the Republican field and the reason why the media may have the most to prove Tuesday. Republicans, and plenty of other critics, slammed CNBC’s handling of the last debate as a derisive and hostile affair. Numerous campaigns cobbled together a series of demands for future debates, though they face an uncertain end. The candidates will be poised to hit back hard at any hint of media bias.

“As a cadet, you are a member of the U.S. Army and receive a full scholarship and an annual salary of more than $10,000 from which you pay for your uniforms, textbooks, a laptop computer, and incidentals”, it says.

And the Fox Business Network anchors moderating Tuesday’s debate are trying to avoid the mistakes of the previous contests.
