Ben Carson to endorse Donald Trump

Carson plans to endorse Trump on Friday morning at Trump’s news conference at the Mar-A-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida, according sources familiar with Trump’s news conference. “There’s the one you see on the stage and there’s the one who is very cerebral, sits there and considers things very carefully”.

“There’s the Donald Trump that you see on television and who gets out in front of big audiences, and there’s the Donald Trump behind the scenes”.

Well, yes and no. “I hope everyone else will come to that soon because the issues that face us as a nation are incredibly serious”, Carson said. “And one thing I realized is his great love is education”, said Trump.

Republicans in the Virgin Islands caucused into the night Thursday, and when they finished counting the votes Friday morning, the victor was.no one.

“I feel that Mr. Trump is willing to do what needs to be done to break the stranglehold of special interest groups and the political class”, Carson said.

Asked if Carson would be campaigning for Trump, and would be deployed to help him win over black voters, Lewandowski dismissed the question.

Can’t believe you chose to support the one candidate who mocks God and is definitely not a Christian. “He is actually a very intelligent man who cares deeply about America.'” Carson said. Perhaps there are two Donald trumps, but well, you know, I’m somebody that is a thinker.

He says he’s focused on winning the March 15 winner-take-all primary, dismissing several polls in the last week showing him trailing GOP front-runner Donald Trump his home state.

Trump once compared Carson’s “temper ” to that of child molesters. “We moved on because it’s not about me”.

Carson is the second former Republican presidential candidate to endorse the real estate billionaire.

Carson rarely, if ever, criticized Trump while they were competing, and at debates, Trump repeatedly lauded Carson as a good and decent man.

The candidates split down the middle – Trump and Cruz vs. Rubio and Kasich – on the likelihood of the GOP race coming down to a contested Republican convention this summer.

Trump was grateful of Carson’s endorsement saying: “Ben’s going to have a big part [in the campaign]”.

“I have been considering it and I am leaning in that direction and more information will be forthcoming soon”, Carson told ABC News in a statement Thursday evening.
