Things are starting to get fun. Jeb Bush is beefin' with Marco Rubio. Rand Paul is beefin' with Ted Cruz. Whoever runs Donald Trump's Twitter account is beefin' with everybody not named "Donald Trump."

Yet, climbing the polls is the quiet cool of Ben Carson. This is how he deals with his opponents...

So how do you handle it in those situations when you’re being personally attacked?

I 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?

That’s what you do next to Donald Trump, you picture him as a cute baby?

(Nods and laughs)

Dang. Did Ben "The Doctor" Carson just take out Donald "The Baby" Trump?

The more I hear from Ben Carson, the more I like him. I'd probably put him in my top three with Carly "Honey Badger" Fiorina and Marco "Yes, I know about the Gang of 8, No One is Perfect" Rubio. He's unapologetic and refuses to play the media's game.

I may have been wrong about the Doc. I definitely think he comes across as a little too meek, but polls are showing that particularly to undecideds, his approach may be welcomely refreshing. Particularly for the low-information, leftist voters who believe that all Conservatives are angry, foaming-at-the-mouth Westboro Baptists, an approach like Ben Carson's is disarming.

Plus, Mickey Rourke and Kanye West are fans.

Ok, so not so much that last part.
