Faithful Republican Ben Carson Threatens to Quit GOP



                                                                             




On Friday Ben Carson became the second GOP presidential candidate to indicate the possibility of leaving the Republican party. Following only Donald Trump, Carson announced that he could leave the GOP following reports that party officials discussed plans for a brokered convention. In a brokered convention, delegates could be replaced by a consensus nomination if no single candidate secures enough delegates to win the nomination by a wide enough margin. The reports indicated that this was the first time a brokered convention had been discussed as a possibility.
