Ben Carson invites GOP candidates to make pre-debate civility pledge

Mar 02, 2016, 06:51

Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson made a stop in Kentucky on Monday ahead of Kentucky's Saturday Republican Caucus.

Ben Carson responds to a question during the CNN Republican Presidential Debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California on September 16, 2015. Marco Rubio of Florida and Ted Cruz of Texas are at nine percent and Ohio Gov. John Kasich at eight percent.

Carson replied: "Right now, people are making decisions based on anger and fear and anyone who knows human nature can tell you that when you make decisions based on anger and fear they tend to be bad decisions".

As for whether Carson would consider serving as vice president under Trump, he seemed open to the idea during an interview with Fox Business last month. Carson, concerned about the lack of civility at the debates, has proposed that the five remaining candidates meet beforehand and sign a pledge of civility.

Carson said he hopes voters recognize that he is everything they say they want in a candidate.

Pankaj Chaturvedi of Tata Memorial Hospital said, "It is sad that the government continues to subsidise bidis which are responsible for almost six lakh deaths every year".

Osborne suggested that winning some of the USA territories' delegates - like the Northern Mariana Islands, which have just nine delegates and are mostly notable for their time zone, announcing results early in the day on March 15 - might give Carson some momentum.

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, another GOP candidate still in the race, gets the biggest chunk of support, at 11 percent, while 38 percent of respondents indicated they didn't yet know who they'd like to see take Joe Biden's place.

Mother and daughter Billie Newby and Kelly Caroon said they'd rather not vote at all, or write in another candidate's name, than vote for Trump.

There is no debate about the fact that Carson is a different type of candidate.

The press release also notes that Carson has been reaching out to the other GOP campaigns personally by phone.
