Ben Carson: Why I intend to stay in the race

It seems like the only thing that’s guaranteed in this year’s election is the litany of punditry after every primary. This un-discussed industry has helped make politics more blood sport than democratic exercise.

It seems to get nastier at every turn, as campaign flacks dressed up as journalists line up to savage candidates whose campaigns they see as a threat to their preferred politician. Some have even gone so far as to question my faith, integrity or party loyalty because I won’t kowtow to their demands to step away from the primary process.

Is this what has become of politics in the world’s greatest democracy?

Whether establishment or outsider, conservative or moderate, a cottage industry has arisen around gaming and controlling the primary process. And that business is booming.

Unfortunately, these pundits have gotten too lost in the gladiatorial spectacle to see what truly matters: the will of “We the People” of America.

  1. He is just trying to sell more books. That is what his campaign has been about from the very beginning.

  2. Maybe he doesn't stand much of a chance at being elected, but he's a man to be admired and emulated.
    I'm going to send him some dollars,
    just to show support.

    I, too, think Mr. Carson and Mr. Trump would make a dynamic-duo. Together they would compliment and enhance the Executive Office.

  5. You people need to get checked out if you think Carson is in contention for anything.

  6. Dr. Ben Carson is so much smarter than Trump could ever be. Those of you who do not think so just ask any parent whose child he saved while working at the best hospital in Maryland, Johns Hopkins Hospital.
    He is a class act in so many ways.
