The road to the White House just came to a halt for Ben Carson on Friday, March 4, 2016. The retired neurosurgeon acknowledged that while there are many people who love and admire him, this same lot may not be in support of his bid for the presidency.

"Even though I might be leaving the campaign trail, you know there's a lot of people who love me. They just won't vote for me," said Carson in the Conservative Political Action Conference gathering in National Harbor, Maryland. "But it's OK. It's not a problem. I will still continue to be heavily involved in trying to save our nation."

The Right Candidate

While Carson has refused to endorse a particular candidate, he has shared the kind of candidate he would have chosen for the position. He emphasized the need to make the logical choice as opposed to selecting one based on fear or anger.

He said that the right candidate must have the needed credentials in terms of significant accomplishments, not just in his field of work but throughout his life, according to his statement. The chosen candidate must also have treated their families and other people the right way. This alone could say a lot about how the candidate will run the country.

The chosen one must also have contributed to the betterment of the lives of Americans and the people who are part of their lives. Carson also cited the candidate's ethics and being a team player as important considerations.

Carson's Commitment

He also encouraged the people to be more active and to equip themselves with the right information to make the right choice. He said that it is important not to get swayed by the media or some of the political advocates.

"Along with millions of patriots who have supported my campaign for President, I remain committed to saving America for future generations. We must not depart from our goals to restore what God and our Founders intended for this exceptional nation," he said.

Carson's Call for Unity

On the falling out between Mitt Romney and Donald Trump, Carson said that it would be better for the Republicans to stop fighting one another as it could give the Democrats a key to the office.

"I don't think it is the proper place for someone who was the former standard bearer to be attacking the leading contender right now in a negative way," Carson said via Yahoo Politics.
