WASHINGTON, Dec 11 (Reuters) - U.S. Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson may consider an independent bid for the White House, angry over a report on Republican Party maneuvering involving this summer's national nominating convention, U.S. media reported on Friday.
..........
"If it is correct, every voter who is standing for change must know they are being betrayed. I won't stand for it," Carson said in statement, Politico and CNN reported. If the report was accurate, he said, "I assure you Donald Trump won't be the only one leaving the party." (Reporting by Doina Chiacu)

Ever. The only thing that could make this better is if Palin jumped in and they tried to draft mitt.
