Al Sharpton Laughs At Ben Carson For Questioning Obama's Blackness

First, a reminder of who's left standing: Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, John Kasich and Ben Carson are all still in the race.

"The demographics of America have changed dramatically ..." "He may not win the GOP nomination, but he still holds the winning hand in this political poker game". 'That will tell you a lot more than an interview will tell you.

"If I were Dr. Carson, I wouldn't get into a conversation about who was raised black, given that he got in trouble talking about how he hit his mother in the head with a hammer and stabbed his brother or something", Sharpton said.

Facebook launches new reaction buttons worldwide
For years, Facebook's users have claimed the company to add a "dislike" button to express themselves when they don't like a post . Now you can respond to your friends and enemies alike on Facebook with a more fine-grained approach.

The crowd roared. Carson trails badly in polls and has been struggling for speaking time in this and recent debates. "We think that will be inordinately attractive to the black voters". "Don't get nervous", Trump told Cruz as the Texas Senator attempted to attack the candidate. If they refuse to listen to the truth they should receive no support from us and we should actively campaign to expose them for the liars and crooks they truly are.

"Obviously we have an illegal immigration problem in this country", Carson said this afternoon, but with tougher border security and other measures, "it's easy to stem the tide" without mass deportations. But Carson was unaware if he had released his own tax returns.

"Fruit salad" When asked about the possibility of choosing a future Supreme Court justice (or a replacement for the late Antonin Scalia, should Obama's eventual nominee be stonewalled), Carson produced an odd turn of phrase. "He's an "African" American". "I mean that's just pure poetry".

Trading more insults, Trump and Rubio fight on for Republican nomination
Christie's move overshadowed them all. "I like Chris, I don't think the endorsement is a big surprise to many observers". Christie's team didn't give New Jersey Republicans advance notice of his plan to endorse Trump, sources said.

Cruz and Carson were the only candidates to RSVP for the dinner, and Cruz made a point of lavishing praise on Carson, whose weeks-long allegations of "dirty tricks" have fueled a perception that Cruz is running a dishonest campaign. That exodus included the group's executive director. Arredondo, a restaurant employee from Katy whose mom brought him to the Rubio rally out of curiosity, said he liked what he heard from the Rubio but was not budging.

Reached for comment, Pimm said he resigned. I watched that fraudulent diamondback and I said it's the worst thing I've ever seen in politics.

Pimm also questioned Thursday's fundraising email, saying Carson staying in the race only benefits Trump.
