“Eleven employees at each facility. Other private care physicians in the locale have between two and ten employees. I’d say that many physicians do employ. I have a veterinary clinic, employ eleven. Trump’s mouth is going to sink him.”

Wow, 11 employees as versus Trump’s thousands. Geez.

No, but the President “hires” the Treasury Secretary and economic advisors who set economic policies and lobby Congress for legislation, Labor Secretary (who oversees the NLRB) who sets labor rules (or removes them), EPA Secretary who sets environmental policies (or removes restrictions), appoints federal and SCOTUS judges who rules (for better or for worse) on cases that may affect labor rules, appoints the Federal Reserve Chief, etc., etc. It is definitely not necessary, but I thin someone who has been successful in business, especially in periods of time when there were less regulations and government restrictions, that would know that government’s job is to stay the hell out of the way. Trump has that experience. Carson, though a good man and a genius doctor, does not. If you don’t like Trump, that’s fine, but you can’t ignore his knowledge and experience in capitalism and free market enterprise as opposed to Carson’s lack of experience, or even Obama or perhaps a President Sanders who is an avowed Socialist.

Some doctors run several clinics so they do create jobs. I’d take an administrator/manager/director type over the stereotypical doctor type.

Larger issue is does the candidate possess that rare quality that motivates others to succeed. Those figure head types. Carson………not so much.

“It appears he was hyping HIS ability to create jobs as a Presidential Skill which it is not.”

Obama will not approve the Canadian pipeline. Trump will. Obama prevents jobs from being created. Trump will make sure jobs are created. Policy decisions matter.

“Uhh, Donald, since you apparently don’t understand conservatism at all, I’ll let you in on one of its most important tenets: Government does NOT create jobs either.”
Every single presidential candidate this cycle and the last and the one before that has promised to “create jobs”. This is not unique to Trump.


Especially in an economy that is on it’s last breath thanks to 12 yrs + of overspending and choking regulations.

VERY TRUE: Donald Trump says he has great affection for Ben Carson, but he’s not so sure Carson has the right experience to be president.

I would never vote for Carson as president. Especially after listening to him, hearing his thoughts and Ideas. If anyone thought Obama was not prepared, they'd have to reasonably conclude the same for Carson. Same with Paul and even more in his case because Paul has lots of baggage. Carson should be given the VA to clean up. Seriously.

“In short, he’s more of a self-made man than “The Donald” could ever dream of being.”

Total unmitigated bull.

How do you win a revolution when the presumptive leader has so many negatives of likely voters who definitely will not vote for him? Right now to break ahead of a pack of some 16 candidates is not that difficult. When the others start to peel off its not hard to envision a Cruz or Carson or Fiorina pulling up to the front. This is a horse race and Trump got off to a fine start with the big festering issue of immigration and this has enabled him to shape the debate. But if he continues to hammer at Carson, this might backfire with foot in horse-mouth disease. Beyond the immigration issue, Trump is mostly an empty suit unable to address major policy issues except for soaring platitudes.

Still haven't seen Trump fully unload on Obama.

Trump understands the power of positive. He is focusing on a positive future, not on a disastrous past and a disastrous present.

It could be a disastrous future too if some decide the conservative candidate isn't pure enough. Let's see what happens.

doctors are service providers, they help improve productivity in society, but they don’t actually create jobs. Doctors are necessary because people could get sick but society are better off without needing doctors at all

So who would you all have to face down the IRS /BATF /EPA /Norks / Putin / ISIS and the Nuclear Iranians....?

1) A well spoken and exceptionally talented neurosurgeon

Or

2). A brash and exceptionally talented negotiator and billionaire business man who sports a Mullet hairdo...

Understanding how jobs are created is knowledge Obama does not possess. We need a President who understands job and wealth creation or the US economy will never recover.

“Trump keeps bragging that he will be the “greatest jobs President ever”. What needs to happen is that the federal government needs to be scaled back, and Ben Carson is every bit as “qualified” to do that as Trump is.”

You are I believe intentionally misconstruing what Trump is saying. He is not talking about creating gov’t jobs and you know it. He will smooth the way via good policy for the private sector to create more jobs. He will do this by getting rid of Obama created executive orders, rules and regulations and by approving policies that are good for business. He’s a private sector businessman, for crying out loud. You just don’t like Trump.

How about in private practice...”

I have had doctors for clients for thirty years and have done quite well as a business and financial manager for them. If they had any business knowledge at all a business like mine wouldn’t be needed. Their knowledge base is even more lacking when they have received their funding through a government grant or been employed by a group or hospital. Carson might make a good Surgeon General or working with the VA on treatment issues. President, Vice President or responsibility for managing budgetary issues? No way IMO.

That’s laughable. Carson is going nowhere fast.
