Donald Trump To CNN: Profits From Second Debate Should Benefit Veterans

Item: Ben Carson called out Donald Trump today regarding religion.

“Probably the biggest thing – I’ve realized where my success has come from and I don’t in anyway deny my faith in God”, replied Carson, a member of the Seventh-day Adventist church.

“I don’t know about Ben Carson’s faith”.

During the CNN interview in response, Trump attacked Carson’s laid-back attitude, his faith, his pro-life stance and even his expertise as a surgeon, Cuomo was barely able to get a word in edgewise.

Then Trump dropped a bomb, calling Carson, the first doctor to successfully separate twins who were conjoined at the head, an “okay doctor”.

Trump said, ‘It is about time that someone comes to their aid. All of a sudden he’s become this man of faith.

By Thursday morning, Carson was dialing down his rhetoric – and blaming the whole episode on the media.

“Ben Carson“, Trump said, “is not going to be your next president“. “I met him a couple of times”, he said. I happen to be a great believer in God, a great believer in the Bible.

Carson, a Seventh Day Adventist, has repeatedly touted his faith on the campaign trail.

Carson on Wednesday also answered a question on Trump’s conservative bona fides, saying that “he says he has changed his mind” on several issues.

What do you think of Ben Carson’s comments and of Carson as a potential candidate for the presidency? Carson and Trump – who both have never been elected to public office – combine to garner support from 51 percent of Republican voters. Thirty-two percent of white evangelicals said they back Mr. Trump, compared to 28 percent for Mr. Carson. You talk about abortion, go back to look at his views on abortion. He’s going to end up being the president of the United States?

Mr. trump sounded almostl ike a schoolyard bully that if you say something I don’t like I’m going to com at you with everythign I’ve got on the table. Trump has in recent weeks made fun of Bush’s “low energy”. No doubt, Carson believes strongly in the connection (he cited Scripture), and maybe there are Iowa votes in making it. But I wish he had refrained. “This large contribution of many millions of dollars would be a truly wonderful thing for CNN to do”, Trump concluded.
