Carson got softball questions at the last debate and won't do well under pressure this Wednesday. He'll be under more scrutiny from the moderators and Trump will belittle him - maybe attack him.

Election 2016: New poll: Donald Trump still leads, but Ben Carson makes strong gains - CBS News
The main problem with Ben Carson is that he will eliminate 72% of government spending, meaning no more social security, medicare, medicaid and no more military.

I respectfully disagree with you.

Carson made the comments on Monday in an interview with Fox News' "America's Newsroom" host Bill Hemmer. Carson suggested there shouldn't be any rules in fighting ISIL.

"Our military needs to know that they’re not going be prosecuted when they come back, because somebody has said, ‘You did something that was politically incorrect,'" Carson said on Fox News. "There is no such thing as a politically correct war. We need to grow up, we need to mature. If you’re gonna have rules for war, you should just have a rule that says no war. Other than that, we have to win."

Ben Carson: Military Shouldn't Worry About Fighting 'Politically Correct' War

I completely agree with him.

LOL....the reason I will not vote for Carson is because he is so war gung ho. No more military? Where did you pull this one out from? (I probably don't want to know).

So you are cool with the raping of civilians like Japan did in China? How about the killing and eating parts of your prisoners of war?

We can start there.

Carson would put US "boots on the ground" in Iraq and Syria. Thinks we can stomp out ISIS and then come home.

Yes, these are just the scale of the cuts he will make. So no more social security, no more medicare or medicaid and another military sized budget cut (another $640 billion dollars).
