A super-PAC supporting Ben Carson says the Republican presidential candidate needs to be on the ticket, “even as our vice presidential nominee”, for the GOP to have a shot at winning the White House.

Dr. Carson, the only other Republican candidate for president to show up heard his own ovation. “Another praised Carson for providing creative inspiration, tweeting, “‘The Fruit Salad Of Their Life’ is a pretty good band name, thanks Ben”. Of course, as has generally been the case, most of the emphasis has been placed on the thrashing between Donald Trump, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.
The Republican candidates for president are on stage at the final debate before Super Tuesday, and among those watching in the crowd is former President George H.W. Bush.
“Trump, Rubio and Cruz are all destined to lose in 2016 because without Ben Carson on the ticket, they will lose the African-American vote”, reads a recent email to Carson supporters, obtained by CNN.
“As president, I would go and look at what a person’s life has been”.
Carson’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Cruz was welcomed by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who endorsed him. He finished in last among major candidates in New Hampshire and SC, and second to last in Nevada.
Carson said Trump approached him during a commercial break and said, ‘”Wow, they’re really being unfair to you”‘.
The retired neurosurgeon, whose campaign has been flailing since his surge in the polls last fall, raised eyebrows when he shared his process for selecting a Supreme Court judge and dwelled on the magnificence of his hands.
Carson has been polling in the single digits in many states along with Ohio Gov. John Kasich. Trump did not participate, an absence noted by one questioner who said she guessed “Mr. Trump loves everybody but Texas”.

Earlier in the debate, Carson lamented the lack of questions coming his way.
