With the GOP field whittled down to six candidates participating in Saturday night’s Republican debate on CBS, things went much more smoothly, at least before the candidates decided to ignore the moderator and attack each other personally — no surprise there. It was refreshing, then, to be able to keep track of who was asked what, but candidate Ben Carson still managed to complain about being ignored … within the first 20 minutes of a 90-minute debate.
Ben Carson's jokes about being left out of debates are getting so stale.

I always think Ben Carson has forgotten what he wants to say halfway through saying it.

Word salad from Ben Carson.

Oh God Ben Carson please, please, just leave during a commercial break.

We really need less Ben Carson at this point.

Really need Ben Carson to stop with the "thanks for including me" "joke". So tired. Also, really need Ben Carson to go home. #GOPDebate

Ben Carson, STFU and quit whining about the time you're getting/have gotten in other debates.

I'm not sure how much it helps Ben Carson to spend some of his valuable time complaining about moderators in previous debates.

Ben Carson has gotten more 2 am phone calls than anyone on stage. Probably explains why he always looks so tired. #GOPDebate

If I was president, I would be calling people at 1:55 a.m. I wouldn't sit around waiting like a loser for someone to call me.

Tonight will be the night that Ben Carson falls through a trap door in the floor to signal his concession and no one will even notice.
