He then devoted more than 10 minutes angrily attacking his chief rival, Ben Carson, saying the retired doctor has a “pathological disease” with no cure, similar to being a child molester. “How stupid are the people of the country to believe this crap?” Hmm.

He even pantomimed stabbing motions, ridiculing a story that Carson tells of his troubled youth in Detroit.
In his free-wheeling appearance, Trump also said Florida Sen.
Carson on Friday made clear to reporters he would not stoop to Trump’s level, while subtly condemning his words. “We don’t need either as president”, the ad concludes.
Trump has appeared baffled by Carson’s rise in opinion surveys.
From his first campaign for governor, two years after Nelson Rockefeller’s sour grapes speech to the 1964 GOP convention decrying “the extremist threat” of nominee Barry Goldwater, Reagan refused to follow New York’s governor and hurt his own party by attacking fellow Republicans. “Because people are sick and exhausted of watching what’s going on – they are sick and exhausted with her and her whole big attitude”, he said. “Totally without thinking, when my anger was aroused, I grabbed the nearest brick, rock, or stick to bash someone”.
Mr Trump questioned Dr Carson’s description of racing to the bathroom in his house after one incident and beginning to pray for God’s help in dealing with his temper. His camp sees the same dynamic in his immigration message-which now comes with talk of a “deportation force”-in that Trump is the guy who knocks heads and speaks uncomfortable truths”. “On the other hand, if Trump is rejected, that is helpful”.

Rubio said Cruz had supported a legal pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants and now claims he did not. Instead he focuses on Ben Carson.
“I don’t think it’s anywhere close to being over yet”, said Susan Eckstrom, of Fort Dodge. Having to put up with all these “stupid” people and “losers” must be trying.
“Give me a break”, Trump fumed.
On Friday’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, politics once again took a center stage, and it revolved around who else, but Donald Trump.
“He lunged, he lunged that knife into the stomach of his friend but, lo and behold, it hit the belt. You’re going to be successful”. But low and behold, it hit the belt, and the knife broke. Anybody have a knife?
“I want you to get mad! Believe me it ain’t gonna work”, he said.
KCCI political analyst Dennis Goldford said these remarks are just part of what he calls the Trump Factor. He likened it to an attempt to reform a “child molester”. There’s no cure for it. ‘Pathological, ‘ there’s no cure for that.
On Carly Fiorina: “I’m telling Carly whatever the hell her name is…”
