He’d get utterly savaged. If anyone thinks the “can’t criticize the Black guy” thing will persist into a Carson candidacy they will be horribly disappointed. If he can take that, fine.
I’d rather see him run for Mayor of Detroit. He’s a hometown hero, his anti gay stance would be bolstered and he could help bring a pro life stance to the city. Plus his soft stance on guns would be meaningless in Detroit since state law overrides local laws in the case of guns.
Some close contact with Detroit police chief Craig might strengthen Carson on guns and self defense.
