He said he wouldn’t do this unless the school asked him to withdraw. According to the article, the school says they did not ask. So he backed down despite a specific promise not to.

IMO, he is disqualified from running for public office after breaking that promise to the rest of the graduating class. He’s a great speaker, but he hasn’t got the chops for politics.

“he hasn’t got the chops for politics.”

On the surface I would agree. On the other hand, one has to pick one’s battles. His affrontery to Obama at that prayer breakfast was not the behavior of a wimp. So I’ll reserve judgement.

Everyone learns as we move along in life. It seems very quick to throw out the baby with the bath water on your part. Cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Get over thinking candidates will fulfill your perfect high standards to receive your vote. At least stop tearing down the best people we have on the Republican/conservative/constitutional/ side of being smart, informed, able to speak well before audiences, having lived a positive life, and loving God and declares it to all they meet. MOO

Dr. Carson is able and articulate, and not a liberal, or Marxist, or progressive and ignorant of history of the world.

Socialism has failed every time ... everytime it has been attempted. It fails. No matter the nations trying to make it work.

Socialism does not work. Soon the workers see the people not working ARE taking the money from the people that do work and these workers decide to be on the taking end of the monies instead of being on the giving end.
SOON ALL ARE BROKE!

SOCIALISM ENCOURAGES NOT WORKING ...EVER.

Your conclusion presumes the truthfulness of the school's statement, which should not be considered a "given".
