Support NeoGAF

[Prompto]

lol why does he keep lying about stuff that can be so easily checked?

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Please. His supporters will find a way to look past this for sure.

His supporters aren't going to win him an election, though. And there ain't no way Trump doesn't blast at him for this.

 

[Future]

It's not even the fact that he lied. More that he was stupid enough to think people couldn't easily fact check and discredit the lie.

 

[Meowster]

He's tanking in the polls now.

He's been going down but he's still in second so far on the Republican side, no?

 

[vainglorious]

Brian Williams was also at that dinner.

lol

At least Ben has the integrity to admit that he lied.

Unlike a certain Democratic front-runner.

 

[Mushroomer25]

I anticipate at least a 2-point bump from this news.

I really like the theory that Ben Carson is exclusively running to promote his book, but may now end up with the nomination due to the absolute incompetence of the GOP.

 

[HUELEN10]

So... This isn't the campaign lying, this is him lying because it's in that Gifted Hands book that sold a zillion gorillion copies a few decades back? This guy is beyond BS now, ugh.

But at least the campaign admitted it.

 

[Talamius]

Trump's really gonna do it, isn't he?

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

lol why does he keep lying about stuff that can be so easily checked?

Nobody who would have read the book would care to check.

 

[adj_noun]

President Trump will forgive him.

 

[Aureon]

In what world this guy can be trusted with running a lemonade stand?

 

[UnforgivenTwin]

I'm waiting for him to just start literally fading away like in Back to the Future.

 

[Blader]

Christ, those excerpts from his book are awful. Sounds like he's writing out a resume.

 

[outunderthestars]

And down he goes. It's been fun, Ben.

Nope.

I swear, if this dude continues to poll any in double digits, this party should just die.

This. It won't matter in the end. Republican primary voters won't let facts get in the way of their beliefs.

 

[Veritigo_X]

I really want the media to look into that missing secretary that he prayed away.

So... This isn't the campaign lying, this is him lying because it's in that Gifted Hands book that sold a zillion gorillion copies a few decades back? This guy is beyond BS now, ugh.

He was always BS. Even back when you were supporting him (assuming you aren't anymore that is). I'll never understand what you saw in him based on your other picks.

 

[DECK'ARD]

I'm waiting for him to just start literally fading away like in Back to the Future.

Haha

 

[spindashing]

And down he goes. It's been fun, Ben.

It won't be that easy, now.

 

[GustyGardens]

I see he served with Trump in the military. I trust him running the country. Maybe he'll build some grain-holding pyramids!

 

[Makai]

He's been going down but he's still in second so far on the Republican side, no?

Yes, but he could be in free fall. http://polling.reuters.com/#!poll/T...20150808-20151103/collapsed/false/spotlight/1

 

[Big Baybee]

Ben Carson is such a disappointment. Grow up and find out a person you've been told to look up to, aspire to be, is........this.

 

[adj_noun]

I'm waiting for him to just start literally fading away like in Back to the Future.

Although President Trump got his first billion by betting on sporting events, President Trump denies all allegations that he somehow knew the results in advance.

In addition, President Trump advises that someday a crazy, wild-eyed scientist or a kid will show up. If that ever happens...

 

[Talon]

What a bizarre man.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Beginning of the end.

 

[dankir]

The top polling Republican everybody.

this

 

[entremet]

Republicans love the military.

His memoir was written before his political aspirations.

 

[Makai]

This. It won't matter in the end. Republican primary voters won't let facts get in the way of their beliefs.

They can and will.

Yeah he has integrity...except he only admitted it after it came out. Which is like the opposite of integrity.

 

[Slayven]

[Fenderputty]

So far he's been teflon because he's a super religious person. Curious if something like this would matter to the base that supports him. I think it would definitely affect his chances during general.

 

[exmachina64]

Nobody who would have read the book would care to check.

Americans don't read.

I'm waiting for him to just start literally fading away like in Back to the Future.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if that were actually true? Like someone's really going back in time and wiping his past away to prevent him from becoming president.

 

[Slayven]

I honestly believe he is mentally ill.

 

[teruterubozu]

Holy shit, I had no idea. Perfect casting too.

 

[HUELEN10]

He was always BS. Even back when you were supporting him (assuming you aren't anymore that is). I'll never understand what you saw in him based on your other picks.

He's still one of my picks, nothing's come up to change that. I don't have to personally like whom a vote for, I vote for whomever will benefit me the most, and hurt others the least regardless of party, and if there's something on the ballot I am not learned enough on, I simply do not vote on that thing instead of making a half-assed vote.

But yeah, this guy's been killing it lately (with insanity that is). The Pyramids to store grain. I know that wheat was found in one and was found to be still alive as seeds (learned it in Bill Nye as a kid), but to think that pyramids were granaries is insane.

 

[Bronx-Man]

All it takes is a couple of journalists to take a look at any of the shit he claims is true, and his campaign is over.

 

[Coins]

Hes done.

 

[massoluk]

If this is ordinary election, this reveal should end his campaign. But I doubt it.

 

[kingkitty]

Yeah he has integrity...except he only admitted it after it came out. Which is like the opposite of integrity.

But Hillary killed a guy.

 

[Chariot]

Is it at least true that he saved the last unicorn and defeated Hitler wih his surgical eyebeams?

 

[UnforgivenTwin]

Americans don't read.

It's Trump.

 

[B.O.O.M]

I'll assume they didn't know he was lying. Or, since he'd already written a book where he talks about it, at some point it's too late to undo the lie and you just have to keep it going.

Yea guess that makes sense. What a fk up tho....can't believe anyone would be this stupid. I mean there are lies you can fact check and ones you can't and this is OBVIOUSLY of the former kind.

Whoever wins, we lose

Whoever wins, so will the Democrats because this is just too easy political ammunition wise.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Just drop out already.

 

[exmachina64]

It's Trump.

Trump is Doctor Doom.

 

[Arkeband]

Holy shit, was he even a neurosurgeon?

Maybe the reason he's known for separating conjoined twins is every other neurosurgeon was too concerned with the risks, but Carson was so nuts he just went for it and it coincidentally worked out.

 

[Revolver]

When a book tour goes bad, the Ben Carson story.

 

[HUELEN10]

Just drop out already.

Why would he? He has a more than decent shot of winning the republican nom.

 

[codhand]

His poll numbers will only go up.

his biggest polling number was his "trustworthiness" tho

lmao

 

[spindashing]

Holy fuck, I remember this.

They got the perfect circle goatee down.

 

[UnforgivenTwin]

Is it at least true that he saved the last unicorn and defeated Hitler wih his surgical eyebeams?

It's only as true as he wants it to be.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

At least Ben has the integrity to admit that he lied.

Unlike a certain Democratic front-runner.

I agree. It's time that Bernie Sanders admit to where his hair went.

 

[adj_noun]

Is it at least true that he saved the last unicorn and defeated Hitler wih his surgical eyebeams?

His battle with the Red Bull was legendary.

Later revelations that he was engaging in mortal combat with an energy drink factory rather than a phantasmal bull did affect his poll numbers a bit.
