Ben Carson says "science" is his reason for supporting Donald Trump. 

Appearing on Fox News Tuesday, the retired neurosurgeon continued his ongoing support of GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, basing his decision entirely on pragmatics and, of course, "science."

"I fully support him, but, you know, what I was saying is that I’m pragmatic," Carson said. "You know, I’ve grown up in the world of science, where, you know, we do things based on evidence and on facts, and when you look at the pathway that the other people have, it only works through a brokered convention."

Carson also argued that a brokered convention would be extremely damaging to unity and that Trump rivals John Kasich and Ted Cruz need to drop out before it gets toxic. 

"What will happen if you have a brokered convention? Tremendous strife and discord," Carson predicted. "No possibility of bringing people back together, and what Kasich and Cruz have to recognize is yes, maybe they think it’s nice to be president, but put that aside and think about the Party and think about what you are potentially doing to it. It far supersedes any personal ambition."

"The fact of the matter is people who are very ambitious and who will do whatever it takes in order to achieve their goal are people that probably should not be president of the United States," he concluded.

The Freedom Center is a 501c3 non-profit organization. Therefore we do not endorse political candidates either in primary or general elections. However, as defenders of America’s social contract, we insist that the rules laid down by both parties at the outset of campaigns be respected, and that the results be decided by free elections. We will oppose any attempt to rig the system and deny voters of either party their constitutional right to elect candidates of their choice.
