Sleepy Ben Carson on Morning Joe right now says

[piechartking]

That Trump needs to focus on facts.

Then uses unemployment rate of 5%, and proceeds to say "You can make that number anything you want." Facts are facts. You can't make FACTS "anything you want".

What a terrible surrogate.

1. Facts are fuzzy when you live in an alternate universe

[KewlKat]

2. coming from a man that says

the Khans should appologize to drumpf...............

[RKP5637]

3. Carson may be smart in the medical field, but in politics he's an absolute fool. Additionally,

his statements and logic are rambling, delusional and often incoherent.

[malaise]

8. I know lots of stupid doctors

who know nothing but their specific field of medicine

[RKP5637]

9. Definitely!!! And in other fields too! Far too many often assume because one excels in one field

they automatically excel in other fields, somehow becoming the voice of knowledge. It's so ridiculous, frankly stupid.

Trump, is such a classic example with this stupid logic of equating real estate to running a massive country and leader of the free world. Many Americans need to get a grip, to get a reality check, to get their heads outta their butts.

10. Precisely

Then every now and then I run into a really smart person with an MBA (I usually hate the MBA types) who has a first degree in history from Dartmouth. We've been at cricket for four days and I met this young man from Bangalore, India. Speaking with him was refreshing.

[geek tragedy]

4. facts like "Egypt's pyramids were grain silos"? nt

[malaise]

11. Ouch! That should hurt

You win the thread

5. Dr. Ben didn't do so well.

Actually, Mika nailed his ass.
He was asked if Trump knew or understood "loss". He didn't understand what they meant. So they explained if Trump knew the concept or feeling of people that have lost someone or something. He said yes, he does. He was asked for an example.
Dr. Ben said Trump understands what people have lost from the violent Islamist terrorists that are running rampant all over this country. Everyone was speechless and Mika thanked him for his time and ended the conversation.
This guy is such an idiot, I'm almost tempted to be embarrassed for him....nah, forget it.

6. I loved that part and I remember Mike Barnicle starting it

By getting visibly upset at Trump's treatment of Gold Star families.

He was saying something about "why does he make it about money? Why can't he just speak to loss?" It was a powerful moment.

7. "You can make that number anything you want."

The Jack Welch talking point!
