I like Ben Carson but his speaking style doesn’t seem strong or persuasive in my opinion. Wonder how he will connect with voters especially undecided to vote for him.

Little Rick Perry better get busy, there are a limited amount of days between now and the 2016 election date. The announcement days are filling up fast!

I know some are against it, but it is exciting to me to see so many want to make the United States a better place for all Americans. Good for him. He may be just getting his name out there more and what better way to do that then running for President. I wish anyone who wants to participate in that grind to do so.

I hope his announcement is that he is NOT running for the nomination and is, instead, supporting Ted Cruz for President. But his ego (and his ‘supporters” who want him in to siphon off some conservative votes) may not allow him to do that.

We don’t need these fake candidates around.

On guns and Ebola he was totally wrong.

Here’s a guy who has exactly zero chance of being elected President of the United States sucking the air out of conservative campaigns.

Nice going, Doctor.

I’m all for these various ego-trip characters running as long as they are GOPe RINOs. But that won’t happen because they are strongly discouraged from running by the GOPe who don’t want them siphoning votes from the GOPe designee.

That is the one unfortunate part of it. But I figure if you are strong enough conservative, it shouldn’t matter how many other conservatives are in the race. You should be able to convince voters that you are the one to lead our country the next four years. Plus we have a quite a few RINOs running or potentially running.....Jeb, Perry, Trump, Paul, Carley so that should be enough to keep Jeb from getting the brass ring. We only have Cruz, Walker, Jindal, and maybe Rubio as the conservative side so it looks heavier on the RINO side this round.

I’m sad at his missteps. Running for president isn’t rocket surgery, just look at Hillary Climinal.

The endgame for all these candidates like Marco Rubio who called Jeb Bush ‘my friend’ on television today should be pretty obvious to those who’ve watched the last two primary election cycles.

I have a ton of respect for Dr. Carson, but TPTB aren’t going to allow him to be president, and really, he should save himself the money and energy trying.

And while I respect the good doctor, I don’t care for his politics.

So Ben, this means you really support Jeb Bush and are hoping for a high level appointment in his administration?

I personally would prefer that he was there to announce that he was running for mayor.
