Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina fired back at Donald Trump on Thursday, after the billionaire real estate mogul likened Ben Carson’s “pathological” temper as a young man to the mental issues of a child molester. When he says he’s pathological and he says that in the book, I don’t say that. The 80-year-old continued, saying, “Then we’ll talk a few more, and I give them a reality check”. Okay. If you’re a child molester, a sick puppy, you’re a child molester, there’s no cure for that. Anybody with a knife wanna try it on me?

Trump was referring to Carson’s memoir, “Gifted Hands”, in which the retired neurosurgeon described a series of violent attacks against his family and friends. “And in the book he said bad things about himself”. Time and again, he’s leveled attacks that people were positive would result in his exile from the Republican race, and time and again, those attacks have only made him stronger, but Ben Carson has a deep, special well of support from social conservatives. So he said he has pathological disease. “And amazingly, the belt stayed totally flat and the knife broke”. That’s a big problem because you don’t cure that.
The Carson camp also believes that many more voters in early states will see portions of Trump’s attacks on news programs this weekend, and it will benefit Carson. “How stupid are the people of the country to believe this crap?” he asked. “Mr. Trump speaks of this as if it happened within the previous year”, Williams said of the criticism. “Pathological? There’s no cure”, Trump said.
This is because, apparently, none of the other Republican candidates have emerged as a more palatable and powerful alternative to either Trump or Carson during the campaign and its series of debates.
TRUMP: Well, I don’t know, I mean, first of all, I like him. “And when he said he stabbed somebody with a knife but it hit a belt buckle – I know all about knives and belt buckles”.
“How stupid are the people of Iowa?”
“I would bomb the s**t out of them”, Trump said, drawing applause.
“I think the name of the operation tells you something about the dangers of looking backwards”, Obama said.
Trump on Thursday said Carson’s tales from his youth, including trying to hit his mother with a hammer and stabbing a friend, only to have the blade stopped by a belt buckle, are hard to believe.
“If they have a pristine record, there’s no reason they can’t get registered, pay a back tax penalty and pay taxes going forward, and be able to remain here as guest workers.”
“So here’s the good news: He’s now saying all of that stuff happened!”
“If I did the stuff he said he did, I wouldn’t be here right now”.

Trump also told CNN Thursday that Marco Rubio favors “amnesty” for undocumented immigrants because the Florida senator and his parents are Hispanic. “Give me a break”, Trump told the audience at Iowa Central Community College, according to video and reports of the event. You know, they move. “A child molester, there’s no cure for that”, Trump said.
