" .. we’ll give you all this money and we’ll make sure you’re a senator here."


IRVING — Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson told supporters Saturday that he has heard plenty of calls to drop out of the Republican presidential primary.

Some “special interests” have even made personal appeals to him, he said.

“I’ve got unanswered calls on my phone right now, ‘Oh, if you did this or did this, and did this, or if you drop out and support this guy, we’ll give you all this money and we’ll make sure you’re a senator here,’” Carson said. “What a bunch of crap. This is about saving our nation. This is not about horse-trading and making deals.”

Carson told a reporter afterward that he wasn’t going to say who called him, but said his reaction is those people can “go jump in a lake.”
