Carson.. bye bye. almost...

I find it interesting that the GOP wants him to run for Senate...in Florida. That's Rubio's seat. There are no "names" currently running from the Republican side. The idea is to set the race on fire with Carson's star power, but I believe that star to be fairly dim, in reality.
If I were Ben...I think I'd head to the Amalfi Coast...
More on that Florida Senate race:
President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden jumped into Florida's contentious Senate primary Wednesday and backed former moderate U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy over fiery liberal Congressman Alan Grayson for the seat Republican Marco Rubio is giving up for his White House run...
...Murphy, 32, is a second term congressman from a district that includes part of Palm Beach county and areas to the north. Grayson, 57, is from Orlando and is known as the congressman who made national headlines by saying the Republican health care plan is to "die quickly" if people get sick.
The primary has become nasty, with Murphy repeatedly pointing out that the House Ethics Committee is investigating Grayson over questions raised by a hedge fund he manages that until recently was based in the Cayman Islands. Grayson repeatedly criticizes Murphy as an ex-Republican who donated to Mitt Romney's 2008 presidential campaign and who has voted with the GOP on several key issues...
...Republicans seeking the seat are U.S. Reps. Ron Desantis and David Jolly, Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera and businessmen Todd Wilcox and Carlos Beruff. Florida's primary will be held Aug. 30.

its a mystery why so many people think trump is qualified, but carson isn't.
Carson started out strong and I can't understand why he faded so fast other than debates, he didn't show strength, of course he wasn't called on much either.
Guess I can take his bumper sticker off now, guess all the BLM went to Killary.
race card isn't working, Carson had a lot of white supporters when he first entered campaign, unless you talking of blacks not supporting him.
What now? Your primary is in 13 days.

I do think he has "low energy" compared to some others.
also, carson's message was diluted/thinly spread. if you asked the average republican (or even average media pundit) what the "signature issue" for carson was, you wouldn't get any sort of agreement.
with trump, it's obvious- Mexicans and muslims.

people of faith were attracted to carson. I think cruz siphoned a lot of them off.
not sure, may just go fishing
Carson is out whether he admits it or not.

He also made headlines when his wife slapped a restraining order on him for domestic violence. But, I'm sure you didn't hear that story...
It looks like you already convicted him...
“Ms. Carson-Grayson has apparently dropped the petition for injunction that she levied against the congressman last week, and will no longer pursue a restraining order against him. Ms. Carson-Grayson’s complaint was voluntarily dismissed today,” said Lauren Doney, a spokeswoman for the Florida Democrat, in a statement released by his office on Wednesday night.

See...that last comment is the type of unnecessary crap that you fling. What, pray tell, is the point of such comments?

A restraining order isn't a conviction. It's just a method to try to keep him from hurting her again.

Many women ( and men for that matter) drop complaints against their abusers. Its what in many cases allow them to go on and be abused again. But, they are afraid of the social repercussions, the repercussions on the abusers ability to support themselves or their families or they made up, etc.....
You wouldn't be doubting that she was being abused by him would you? I mean she is after all woman.. and we should take claims of abuse at face value...... acting like she dropped that because he didn't abuse her is like saying she was lying about the domestic violence in her home.. surely you are not indicating that she lied or over reacted.

Clearly, craig hasn't gotten the memo that the official DNC position - is that women claiming abuse or rape, are to believed and taken at face value......
So, there are two options here... either she was being abused, and voluntarily released her RO for the same reasons thousands of women do across this country every day - because they have made up, because its hurting the other's career or finances, or whatever else.. which allows them to be continued victims.
OR she was lying or exaggerating when she requested the RO.. but, no.. that can not be..a woman would never lie about such a thing just to get back at a man...just like she wouldn't make up a claim about being raped because she had buyer's remorse the next day, or because she got ticked that the guy wouldn't date her......
Yes, I know. Yet you made a point of noting that there was a restraining order. You didn't give the more updated information. There must have been some reason. It's not as if I made a comment in support of Grayson.

Nope...I'm wondering what Marvin's motivation is in bringing it up...and making a snarky comment about it.

Well clearly it is to out him as an abuser of women. - or at least - woman.
