screwed up and eat it so we can get back to trusting ben carson. right now there s a question out there, clean it up ben and it will go away. but let s also highlight the fact that senator barack obama had a lot more issues that were more than questionable. ij review called them not lies, but made it seem like they were lies going into that presidential campaign that president obama s uncle helped liberate auschwitz but the soviet union did that. senator obama claimed the civil rights movement in selma was behind his inception. young barack obama had a college girlfriend who was white, which became a composite girlfriend who was african-american. the media never really vetted or leaned on senator barack obama the way they re leaning on ben carson for things that he could and should clear up right away. so do you like the little fact sheet, synopsis what
the next closest is carson. twitter. 4.1. trump 3.8 million. instagram. 318 k for trump and hillary clinton 230 k. social media has a huge impact, right, larry? it sure does. as you said, i am one of the editors at ij review. we live and breathe off social media. it s smart to build that up. donald trump has been saying interesting and provocative things for some time. now it happens to be about hillary clinton. it s smart. i know emily would like to think that this is that donald trump is just a sound bite politician, but he just released a pretty comprehensive immigration program. i haven t seen anything comprehensive from hillary clinton except her comprehensive effort to delete her emails from her server. so i think trump is doing the right thing. go after a very unpopular candidate. i hope all the other candidates do this as well. the republicans should stop talking and aiming at donald

[ laughter ] 1 purex% rating from the nra, right? i think he lost to peta right there. the pizza vote? no, peta. oh, yes. on several grounds all at once. i wonder how that will appeal to middle america?
