Ben Carson Asks Room Full of Children to Point to the Dumbest Kid in Class
Feelin like a pep rally for @RealBenCarson in Cedar Rapids. Many rowdy youngsters from Isaac Newton Christian School pic.twitter.com/XllWCjlqPC

Earlier today, Ben Carson—whose campaign is doing fine, great even!—met with over 500 students and parents at Isaac Newton Christian School in Iowa. This, also, went great.
At least, it probably did until Ben Carson unwittingly instructed the kids to point out the dumbest kid in class.
W/ crowd of 500 @RealBenCarson just called out to 5th grade class: who's dumbest kid in class? At least half dozen kids point to 1 student.

Apparently, he didn’t actually expect the students to answer him. Rather, he just wanted the class idiots to know that they, too, could run for president one day.
.@Howie_OT @RealBenCarson it was a joke re: how he felt in grade school. But students responded before he said "just kidding" about question

Dream big, kids. And if you have video of this undoubtedly phenomenal scene, please do let us know.
