Ben Carson: If Senate Doesn’t Go GOP, There May Not ‘Even Be An Election In 2016' [View all]

Neurosurgeon and Republican icon Ben Carson, famous for telling President Obama, to his face, at a prayer breakfast, how bad Obamacare is, says if Republicans don’t win the Senate this year, it could be curtains for America.

If Republicans don’t win back the Senate in November, he says, he can’t be sure “there will even be an election in 2016.” Later, his wife, Candy, tells a supporter that they are holding on to their son’s Australian passport just in case the election doesn’t go their way.

Carson believes he is on a mission from God to save America.

“Sometimes I realize there are forces greater than me,” he says. “I am an instrument that’s being used to help restore this country.”
