Ben Carson Handles Debates by Imagining the Other Candidates as Cute Babies

Ben Carson spoke to Time Magazine about how he handles criticism at debates, and actually revealed kind of an odd strategy.

Carson is one of many candidates who’s been on the receiving end of Donald Trump‘s jabs, and he told Time, “I don’t mind being attacked… In fact, I’d probably be more bothered if they didn’t do it.”

When asked how he handles attacks like that, Carson said that at debates he would “just kind of look at them and I say, can you imagine that used to be a cute little baby? I wonder what happened to that?”

And when asked specifically about doing this with Donald Trump, Carson nodded and laughed.
