According the Washington Post, Dr. Ben Carson plans to endorse his good friend Donald Trump, who once compared him to a pedophile. Carson joins New Jersey Governor Chris Christie among the hostages Trump has taken.

Although Ben Carson today admitted he has no “political path forward” and says he will not attend the next GOP debate, he declined to actually withdraw himself from the race.

Welcome, patriots, to what history will almost certainly see as the night America sealed its gruesome fate. That’s right—it’s Donald Trump Victory Night. And judging by the various primaries and caucuses thus far, it’s sure to be a night we’ll never forget. No matter how hard we try.

In a statement on Tuesday, Ben Carson lamented the “lack of civility” in the Republican primary race, which he said has become an “embarrassment on the world stage.” During the debate last week, Carson pleaded, “Can someone please attack me?”

Ben Carson’s campaign admits he doesn’t have a shot in hell at winning the GOP primary but won’t rule out a literal miracle making it happen.

Ben Carson finally explained what’s keeping him in the presidential race: It’s money.

Asked how he would pick a Supreme Court nominee, Ben Carson started talking about (figurative) fruit salads.

Last night, your favorite Republican candidate once again got massacred by Donald Trump. It might seem like things are getting pretty dire. It’s going to be hard for you to defend your favorite Republican candidate to your co-workers at the water cooler, where you all discuss politics daily. But you really shouldn’t worry. Honestly. Your favorite Republican candidate is going to beat Donald Trump, there’s no question about it. Just listen to their campaigns!

On Tuesday, Dr. Ben Carson “jokingly” speculated that aides who have left his campaign might have been intentionally undermining his efforts with ostensibly incompetent spending. “We had people who didn’t really seem to understand finances...or maybe they did—maybe they were doing it on purpose.” Haha, maybe!

In an interview with Politico, conducted on Saturday as the results of the Republican primary in South Carolina rolled in, Ben Carson argued that Barack Obama didn’t really grow up black. Here’s the exchange, which began when Politico’s Glenn Thrush asked Carson if he “derived any pride, any sense of joy” out of Obama winning the 2008 election:

In an attempt to force themselves into some sort of truce, Ted Cruz and Ben Carson decided to handle the situation like adults, face to face, mano a mano, standing alone in a guarded storage closet for nearly 25 minutes, according to a new report from The Daily Beast.

As the presidential election progresses, Wall Street grows increasingly fearful that the “radical” economic proposals of Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump could become a reality. They might want to worry about the “mainstream” candidates as well.

Tonight’s going to be weird. In one corner, we have Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Ben Carson engaging in an ostensibly civil “town hall” on CNN (the other three get their shot tomorrow night). In the other corner, Donald Trump and Joe Scarborough will be doing... something. Either way, we’ll be liveblogging every last second of it.

Ben Carson made a lot of questionable decisions tonight (showing up at all, to name one). His biggest mistake, though, was the active choice to end the evening with a quote from Joseph Stalin—one that was, of course, a complete lie.

How boring was Ben Carson’s primary party last night? The bartender was knitting a blanket, if that’s any indication.

Ted Cruz’s latest enemy hates him about as much as his own daughter does—and it’s not even another presidential candidate.

In what we can only hope was a sign of what’s to come, the ABC GOP debate kicked off with the most bizarre candidate walk-out any of us will likely ever see. Ben Carson appeared to refuse to go on stage, the moderators literally forgot about John Kasich, and both Carson and Trump had to eventually be begged before finally shuffling out from the shadows. This candidate clusterfuck alone almost makes the entire, terrible election worth it.

It’s pretty well established by now that Ted Cruz, a man whose tendency to fudge the truth is not really a secret, made a big ol’ goof right before the Iowa caucuses.

Ben Carson is determined to stay in this race until the money dries out, and the money is drying out.
