Ben Carson – GOP Establishment Candidates Don’t Intimidate Him, More The Merrier

Posted on 17 January, 2015 by Rick Wells

Fresh off of a speech before the Republican National Committee meeting in San Diego, Dr. Ben Carson addresses the current and speculative GOP field of candidates for the presidency in 2016. Asked about Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney, Dr. Carson says, “The more the merrier, it’s so important that we get the best candidate. Not the one with the highest name recognition, but the one who can articulate the values of this nation, who can really represent the people, who understands the Constitution and is willing to face challenges, who has the courage to stand and face them.”

O’Reilly questions the more the merrier comment on the basis of a finite amount of dollars available to political candidates, noting that that was the reasoning behind Jeb Bush entering early, to stake his claim on the establishment donations and the same considerations forced action from Scott Walker and Mitt Romney. He asks, “It’s a money play, is it not?”
