Carson is a cultist that goes to church on Saturday and is extremely boring with occasional flashes of brilliance like no Muslim should be POTUS.
Problem is he backs down and is being used as a device by the oligarchs and press to take out Trump and pave the way for Bush
His poll numbers are also complete BS.
Cultist? Seems like a fairly normal conservative church to me. Who gives a damn what day they have the sabbath on?
“...a device by the oligarchs and press to take out Trump and pave the way for Bush.”
This seems to be a common meme, and sorry, I don’t agree.
I first started hearing about Carson a couple years before the infamous Prayer Breakfast. Some of my evangelical relatives who are very active in political circles and Southern Baptist Convention were talking about how the SBC was buzzing about Carson for president. The idea was to promote a black conservative Christian to get the black Christian vote, as a bloc, out of the clutches of the Democrats. A way of uniting black and white evangelical churches.
Carsons backers were promoting him for POTUS long before Bush announced.
They were promoting him, not Bush, from the get-go, and they wanted/ still want him, not Bush, to win. Those folks are certainly not in cahoots with the liberal media, in some weird conspiracy to nominate Jeb in order to assure a Hillary/ Democrat victory. C’mon, get real. SBC hates the Dems and lib media, too, probably more than some FReepers.
That said, I’m inclined to agree with the other things you said. Carson got it right on Muslims/ shariah, but not much else, I’m afraid. Being a Really Nice Man isn’t quite good enough, although I would not vote against him!
If perchance he got top billing—unlikely, methinks—I’d vote for him and pray he can learn quickly !!!
POTUS must be Commander in Chief, appointer of Attorney General, and will likely select at least 2 Supremes, as well as district judges.
His allegiance must be to the Constitution and taxpayers.
Can he do the job? Can he handle a crisis with the best interests of the country foremost?
I do think Carson sincerely cares about the country more than himself. I’m not so sure he could handle a fast-moving international crisis.
OTOH, his not being a hothead could turn out to be a national asset in a crisis situation.
Trump? Putin would eat his lunch.
