mark: ben carson took a trip over the weekend to jordan, where he visited a syrian refugee camp. talking to martha raddatz on nbc's "this week" on sunday, carson argued that the u.s. should put less emphasis on resettling refugees in america and more on helping jordan improve the refugee camps that already exist. dr. carson: we are hearing that they want to go to the united states. that is not what they want. they want to go back home. the united states and other countries could be more supportive of the jordanians. they want to be repatriated into their own country. is that going to be easier from a neighboring country or the united states of america? mark: carson has been fighting this perception that he is not up to being commander-in-chief. how will this trip help him change the trajectory of that storyline? john: it helps a little bit and that i thought that his answers were relatively good. i think for people who think he is in over his head, that will not change the perception dramatically, but he acquitted himself decently on this trip. mark: i think he did more than dece
