Dr. Ben Carson, a popular Tea Party activist and Fox News contributor who says he will likely seek the Republican nomination for president in 2016, said on Sunday that he is seriously concerned that there will not be 2016 elections in the United States because the country could be in anarchy by that point. His reasons: the growing national debt, ISIS, and the U.S. Senate’s refusal to consider legislation passed by the GOP-controlled House of Representatives.
Host Chris Wallace noted that in light of his potential presidential campaign, Carson’s previous comments were now under a greater spotlight. He noted Carson’s August comment that if the Republicans don’t win a majority in the Senate this year, the 2016 elections might not even be held and asked the retired neurosurgeon if he stood by it:
WALLACE: You said recently that there might not even be elections in 2016 because of widespread anarchy. Do you really believe that?
CARSON: I hope that that’s not going to be the case. But certainly there’s the potential because you have to recognize that we have a rapidly increasing national debt, a very unstable financial foundation, and you have all these things going on like the ISIS crisis that could very rapidly change things that are going on in our nation. And unless we begin to deal with these things in a comprehensive way and in a logical way there is no telling what could happen in just a couple of years.

Don't bother to vote in November 2016, it has been cancelled! Let the Democrats find out at the polling places!
For that matter, The upcoming 2014 November elections have been cancelled too! Stay home, Republicans!
He's a fine GOP tool, that's for sure. I know this elderly couple living in a christian based retirement community ...Ben Carson's propaganda books are being peddled there... This couple now believes all his fear mongering as do other residents. It's pitiful. 
Nothing I can do as they are 90 years old and convinced for example that President Obama is letting all the illegal aliens crossing the Mexican boarder the right to vote so he can steal another election.
To them, that's more proof that I haven't truly grown up yet 
that ought to send them over the edge,
