Ben Carson to Newsmax: 'Not the Right Time to Be Named Bush'

By Bill Hoffmann   |   Monday, 05 Oct 2015 11:07 PM

Dr. Ben Carson roundly dismissed former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush as a viable presidential candidate in an exclusive, wide-ranging interview with Newsmax TV on Monday.

The retired pediatric neurosurgeon told Newsmax TV's Steve Malzberg there’s a simple reason why Bush is foundering in the polls with a paltry 4 percent, despite a huge war chest of more than $100 million.

"This is a bad time to be identified as part of the political establishment," Carson said.

"Jeb Bush is a very nice man, I like him. But this is just not the right time to be named Bush — or Clinton."

In the latest Pew Research Center poll of GOP voters, Donald Trump continues to lead with 25 percent, followed by Carson with 16 percent. Bush in in sixth place with only four percent and trailing Carly Fiorina and Sen. Marco Rubio, who are tied with 8 percent, and Sen. Ted Cruz, who has 6 percent.

Last week, Trump said if his numbers dropped dramatically, he would pull out of the race, because "I’m not a masochist" — a declaration Carson believes is subtle hint to Bush and the other badly-polling GOP candidates to bid adieu.

But Carson doesn’t believe Bush, who hopes to become the third family member to occupy the White House, will get the hint.

"I seriously doubt that he would give that consideration. But everybody should ask themselves what are they doing and why are they doing it?" Carson said.

"I can easily answer the question, I'm doing it because the people asked me to do it and the people are funding the effort. They didn't just talk and then go home and sit down.

"[Trump] is trying to say, guys, 'come on now.' I think that's what he's saying. But I mean that's a very noble thing for him to do."

Asked if he would consider Trump for a cabinet job if he is elected president, Carson said:

"Donald Trump is a very talented individual. He certainly knows how to take advantage of situations, there's no question about that, and he could bring some wisdom somewhere along the line and there would be room for him somewhere … Absolutely."

But Carson hedged when asked if he would select Trump to be his vice presidential running mate.

"There’d be room somewhere," he said.

Clinton seeks to seize edge over Sanders on gun control

By Kevin Cirilli and Amie Parnes

Hillary Clinton supporters think they've finally found a way to put Bernie Sanders on defense: gun control.

Clinton has sought to highlight her support for gun control, seizing on an opportunity to appeal to progressives on perhaps the one issue where she is to the left of Sanders.

In doing so, Clinton allies have pushed a narrative that as a member of the House of Representatives Sanders voted against the Brady Bill in 1993 that laid the foundation for the current national background check system.

Clinton allies and top Democratic strategists say it’s an issue that could hurt the Vermont Independent senator.

“He’s going to have to evolve on this issue, because he’s not where Americans, including Democrats, are,” said one Democratic strategist.

Sanders has run a strong campaign against Clinton so far and is polling ahead of the former secretary of State in New Hampshire. An NBC-Wall Street Journal poll found Sanders with a 14-point lead in the Granite State over Clinton, while the RealClearPolitics average of polls finds he is 11 points ahead.

The self-proclaimed Democratic socialist has championed left-wing causes and sought to push Clinton to the left on both economic and foreign policy issues.

Sanders backs the Iran nuclear deal and wants to pull U.S. troops out of Afghanistan. In general, he’s said the U.S. should focus less on international conflict and more on the nation’s middle class.

He’s an opponent of Obama’s trade deals, would increase the minimum wage to $15 per hour and institute higher taxes on estates and Wall Street. He’d also make college and university tuition free, require that employers provide 12 weeks of paid family leave and break up the big banks.

But on gun control, Sanders sounds a bit more like a centrist — or even a Republican.

While he backed a 2013 Senate bill imposing tougher background checks for gun sales, he has repeatedly downplayed the need for gun control.

He voted against the Brady bill as a House member, and more recently voted in favor of 2005 legislation that shielded gun manufacturers from the threat of lawsuits.

This record creates opportunities for Clinton, who is looking to tamp down enthusiasm on the left for Sanders.

Days after nine people were killed by a lone gunman at an Oregon community college, Clinton touted new proposals for gun reform on the stump in Iowa — where her lead over Sanders has narrowed significantly since the beginning of the summer.

She said her proposal would strengthen the federal background check system and that she could use executive orders to enforce it.

“This is not just stuff that happens,” Clinton said, alluding to Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush's remarks following the Oregon shootings. “We let it happen.”

Tad Devine, a senior adviser to Sanders, said the senator doesn't feel threatened by Clinton's approach to gun control policy and he doesn't feel it will make a difference in the campaign.

 

"If he had an A rating with the NRA, it would," Devine said in a phone interview Tuesday. "But he has a D-"

 

Devine said Sanders "understands the issue as someone who represents a very rural area. "As the gun issue has evolved and as tragedy mounted, he thinks there should be increasingly tough measures on guns but he's never lost his perspective," he said. 

 

In the weeks to come, Devine said Sanders will address the issue, "some of which will be fairly similar" to Clinton and "some of which will be different."

Sanders last week called for a “comprehensive approach” to dealing with gun violence. He said the nation must focus more on preventing “guns from being used by people who should not have them,” including through reforms to the mental health system and toning down “the incredibly high level of gratuitous violence which permeates our media.”

“The shouting at each other must end. The hard work of developing good policy must begin,” Sanders said hours after the Oregon shooting.

Clinton allies believe the mixed Sanders record will leave liberals guessing about his real position.

“What does he say to progressives now?” one Clinton ally said. “This obviously looks good on her and leave progressives wondering what he really stands for.”

Cal Jillson, a professor of political science at Southern Methodist University, said gun control is an issue where Sanders is “out of position.”

“It's a valuable opportunity to satisfy some of the people romantically engaged with Bernie,” Jillson said. “And anything that makes him uncomfortable is welcome to the Clinton campaign, which is so uncomfortable so much of the time.”

Some leaders of liberal groups are also praising Clinton on the issue.

Charles Chamberlain, executive director at the liberal Democracy For America (DFA), said that it was “fantastic to see Secretary Clinton a little bit out front of Senator Sanders on gun policy.”

If Clinton can emerge from the primary as the Democratic nominee, some observers think gun control could fade as an issue in the general election as she seeks to win over Independents in addition to the Democratic base.

“She'll have to moderate” her position in a general election, Jillson said. “I think it'll be a less visible part of her agenda and her campaign talking points.”

Clinton allies, however, say gun control is an issue the Democratic front-runner feels strongly about and an issue that she'll continue to discuss past the primary and into a general election.

Democratic strategist Steve Elmendorf, a Clinton supporter who has lobbied for gun control in the past, thinks Sanders could be hurt on the issue.

“So far, I haven't seen him give a good answer to it,” he says.

He argues there’s no danger to Clinton talking about the issue in the general election.

“I think the whole issue of gun safety has changed for obvious reasons, and intensity is increasing on the program safety side, and it's an issue with women in states that matter,” he said.

Carson: Kindergarten teachers should have access to guns

By Jesse Byrnes

Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson says he would be comfortable with kindergarten teachers and other school administrators having access to guns as a form of protection. 

 

"If I had a little kid in kindergarten somewhere, I would feel much more comfortable if I knew on that campus there was a police officer or somebody who was trained with a weapon," Carson said in an interview for USA Today's Capital Download released Tuesday.

 

 

"If the teacher was trained in the use of that weapon and had access to it, I would be much more comfortable if they had one than if they didn't," Carson added. 

 

That is similar to what the National Rifle Association advocated following the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., that left 20 children and six educators dead. After that shooting, the gun group called for trained and armed security guards at schools.

 

Gun violence returned to the national conversation last week when a man shot and killed nine people at a community college in Oregon.

 

Earlier Tuesday, during a Fox News interview, Carson suggested that if he were in the situation at the community college, he would have confronted the gunman.

 

He also spoke in the USA Today interview of reversing his support for a ban on assault weapons after "getting more into the history of this country and the history of other countries."

Carson: Biden will beat Clinton for Dem nomination

By Mark Hensch

GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson said on Tuesday that Vice President Biden is likely beating Hillary Clinton for the 2016 Democratic nomination.

“I don’t think she’s going to be the nominee,” Carson told host Mike Gallagher on his nationally syndicated radio broadcast. “I don’t think that’s going to happen.”

“Frankly, it’s going to be Vice President Biden,” Gallagher said. “Who do you think is going to be the Democrat nominee?”

“I would tend to agree with you at this stage from what I see out there,” Carson responded of a possible Biden campaign.

Carson then argued he is a challenging opponent for Clinton in a general election next year.

“My thought is that that would be too good to be true,” he said of meeting Clinton in the final stage of the 2016 presidential race.

“A candidate who is of, for and by the people and a candidate who is of, for and by the government,” Carson said. “I would love that contrast for the American people.”

“Let’s talk about the pros and cons of each of those,” the retired neurosurgeon added. “Let’s look at historically what each of those does.

“I think that would be a wonderful opportunity for the American people to really learn what is great about this nation.”

Carson’s remarks come as Clinton struggles with ongoing controversy over her use of a private email server when she was secretary of State. Voter concerns over the Democratic front-runner’s use of the server have gradually eroded her support across multiple national polls.

Clinton’s setbacks come as Biden weighs a potential third Oval Office bid after unsuccessful attempts in 1988 and 2008.

Carson, for his part, ranks second out of 15 Republican White House hopefuls across multiple national surveys. He currently has 17.3 percent voter support, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average of samplings.
