Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson is at the bottom of most current GOP presidential polls, but he said Saturday he doesn't believe Republican voters are so "dense" as to nominate the current front-runner, Donald Trump.
"Right now people are making decisions based on anger and fear, and anyone who knows human nature can tell you that when you make decisions based on anger and fear they tend to be bad decisions," Carson said during a question-and-answer session at Texas Medical Center in Houston,
Raw Story reports.
"The real question is are American people going to awaken and recognize what’s going on," he said. "I believe the answer to that yes. I do not believe that we are quite that dense."
But, he added, should Trump continue his winning ways all the way to the convention, "yes we would make very, very bad mistake."
Carson told reporters afterward he believes the March 1 Super Tuesday primaries will show Trump seeing less support and his own campaign bouncing back.
