Carson: My ‘Pitch Is America Right Now Is in Terrible Trouble’

‘The fact that we could be spending up their future and some people don’t even think it’s a problem, we have to become fiscally responsible’

WALLACE: "You have also started a $500,000 ad buy in the four early voting states, with the tag line “heal, inspire, revive”.  Here’s a clip."

CARSON: "Washington is broken.  The political class broke it.  Together, we can drain the swamp and protect our children’s future. I’m Ben Carson, and I approve this message."

WALLACE: "Doctor, you’re doing well with social conservative, but what’s your pitch to Republicans across the political spectrum?"  
CARSON: "Well, basically, the pitch is America right now is in terrible trouble.  I mean, we have to stop all the divisiveness, recognize we’re Americans first, not Republicans or Democrats.  We have to begin to take care of those who are coming behind us. Our children are precious.  The fact that we could be spending up their future and some people don’t even think it’s a problem, we have to become fiscally responsible.  And it’s absolutely crucial that we deal with the global jihadist movement and with Putin’s ambitions, and with all of the things that are going on that are because we have not taken a leadership position in the world."
