(rightwing view fyi): Carson Should Quit (USN&WR)

... His candidacy was always something of lark anyway ... It's all well and good to talk about needing to build a fence, making the Mexicans pay for it, and having to be a sharp negotiator to deal with the Chinese, but that can only take you so far ...

The ideal of the citizen-politician, which Carson represents more than anyone else, is a far cry from .. him in the White House. He could fake .. a while but it's not clear he's .. capable of assembling .. advisers to run his administration with any .. competence ...

... Friday .. Politico .. .. claims the candidate .. admits the claim.. that he was offered but turned down an appointment to .. West Point was a fabrication.

If that were true, that should be enough to put an end to his campaign ...

... Carson should quit ...

Following the Palin, Gingrich model of selling books, booking speaking engagements, auditioning for that Fox News slot, laughing all the way to the bank. GOP RW keep giving that man your hard earned money.
