I am not interested in Carson.
“Shorter answers, get right on GUNS..!”
And get right on guns doesn’t mean some speech in front of the NRA, tell Steven Colbert why he is wrong about gun control to his face. It also doesn’t mean saying oops I forgot to say “I respect the 2nd amendment but...” before you tell us why we don’t need guns. It means say you were wrong about inanimate objects being responsible for inner city crime and say you were wrong when you agreed with Bloomberg about disarmament of black people.
And immigration...
The short answer is actually BECOME A CONSERVATIVE.
***What has the good Dr. run, other than a small practice?**
Johns Hopkins ain’t no SMALL practice. It happens to be a world renowned teaching hospital in Baltimore MD.
From Wiki;
The Johns Hopkins Hospital is widely regarded as one of the world’s greatest hospitals.[8] It was ranked by U.S. News & World Report as the best overall hospital in America for 21 consecutive years (1991–2011). In 2012 it was briefly supplanted by the Massachusetts General Hospital,[9][10][11] but regained the top position in 2013, before moving to third place in 2014.[12][13]
Exactly.
A small practice?
In 2001, Dr. Carson was named by CNN and TIME Magazine as one of the nation’s 20 foremost physicians and scientists. That same year, he was selected by the Library of Congress as one of 89 “Living Legends.”
He is also the recipient of the 2006 Spingarn Medal, the highest honor bestowed by the NAACP. In June, 2008, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bush, the highest civilian honor in the land.
Dr. Carson holds 67 honorary doctorate degrees. He is a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society, the Institute of Medicine/National Academy of Science, the Horatio Alger Society of Distinguished Americans, and many other organizations.
He sat on the board of directors of numerous entities, including Kellogg Company, Costco Wholesale Corporation, the Academy of Achievement, and is an Emeritus Fellow of the Yale Corporation, the governing body of Yale University.
As a strong believer in the power of education, and alarmed by studies showing America’s students falling behind the rest of the world, Ben and Candy Carson founded the Carson Scholars Fund in 1994.
“A Cruz/Carson ticket would be hard to beat.”
It would be a good ticket when it comes to the character of the men. Doubtful that they could be declared winners in a contest against any Democrat. I’m not saying they wouldn’t win the required votes. I’m just saying that the Dem machine for fixing elections will be running at 110%.
I think it was Hugh Hewitt who said, “If it’s not close, they can’t cheat.” If true, kicking it up a notch with Trump/Carson(or Cruz) would make the gap larger and maybe more difficult for them to cook the books. Right or wrong, in this day and age, charisma is a factor. Cruz has some, but not enough to entice some to switch sides.
He’s on the Kellogg board
Personally liking someone and voting for them are two different things. I like a lot of people that I would not vote for President.
No, Trump’s pretty straightforward about his positions and how they haven’t always been purely conservative—though he was a Republican back to being a national fundraiser for Reagan.
Carson and Fiorina aren’t any more conservative than Powell or Snow.
The Presidency is by its nature an OJT position. Every day is a new challenge. What is needed is someone who cannot know everything but can address the challenges by picking great people to advise him.
a better question is “who are you to judge him ?”
have you watched his movie?
You’re barking up the wrong tree.
I couldn’t care less what the democrats would be willing to vote for. That the standard “moderate” bottom feeder strategy.
Scuse me for being the turd in the puchbowl but please tell me with the rats nest of a mess we have in Washington we need a lot more than just folks who talk nice, we need a Leader who has been there and done things...
Not just talk about them, too airy fairy mental imagery of something they have no idea how to get done..
Have done a lot of International projects involving many professions and people in other countries. Talk is cheap, when you are the head dude all the roads lead to you. A CEO told me I was an Excellent Cat Wrangler as trying to get indifferent aspects of your own company let alone others is an art and the means needed to get it done run the gamut from nice to flat out A$$ kicking.
At the end I am known as a Team Leader who gets things done and I have trust and my integrity. And one of the primary elements to my success is experience across disciplines that I bring to the party.
We have to come out of the Gate with more than pretty words and ideas, Trump has plans for the framework and the team is forming to rock it
I AM DONE WITH ALL OF THAT BOVINE SCATOLOGY OF TRUST ME I HAVE A DREAM...
We need a leader who has done more than be a Politician, and if that is the route you took I have doubts day 1 about where you really come from
Nah. I have it on good authority that Americans won’t elect another African-American.
Thanks for your excellent post.
I’m not voting for a lying liberal piece of garbage like Trump to make you or your democrat friends happy.
Period.
If Dr. Carson wins the nomination he’s got my vote!
Carter was governor for 4 years, not that it helped him much in the Oval Office.
And so if Dr. Carson wins...would this make him the FIRST truly African-American to take office?
You have conveniently stated your opinion. Trump inherited about 100-200 million and he is worth billions. He has experience running his own very large business plus he has made many deals. Trump also graduated from perhaps the finest business college we have. Trump has much more real world experience then any MD even one who was a Department Head. Yes Carson has seats on many boards. A seat on a board does not equate to running a damn business.
