He has to make his team known early on. Specifically VP, Sec State, AG, HS. HHS, VA and EPA.
Surgeon General
That being said. He would be more than adequate as a POTUS. If he could get elected. The only thing really necessary to be a good POTUS is common sense, a good moral structure, be able to hear other points of view, and make decisions and stick with them. None of these are things that Obama possesses.
Getting elected is the only hard part of being POTUS. the rest is no different than running any other complex organization.
The point is, Eisenhower had vast, vast, experience as an executive of vast numbers and complexity and in world affairs, and he was SOUGHT OUT FOR PRESIDENT.
This old doctor is just a guy trying to go from retirement to President of the United States of America, you can’t be serious comparing him to Dwight D. Eisenhower.
As far as experience campaigning, he already beats out Eisenhower in that, which means nothing.
RE: Surgeon General
Nah, too little to do.
HHS Secretary is more like it.
I, for one, am tired of having to vote for X because he (she) will not get as much deeper as Y. It's time to elect someone with common sense, not a political pedigree.
Yeah that too...
I think he'd make a great Surgeon General!
You're saying that getting the cooperation of three self-serving officers, Bernard Montgomery, Charles de Gaulle, and George Patton, whilst satisfying the goals of Roosevelt and Stalin -- at the same time gaining the admiration of our troops as well as winning the wasr -- did not constitute a very keen grasp of politics?<0> Hmmmm ---
I have a bad feeling that we’ll once again destroy all of our own candidates in short order. We don’t need the Democrats to take our candidates out, we do that very handily ourselves.
There will be none pure enough to be the Republican nominee.
I didn’t say anything of the sort. Eisenhower wasn’t a butt boy for the RNC. Neither is Carson. Any other pointless self serving remarks that show how brilliant you are?
If he runs, the Democrats will pay good money to dig up at least around a half dozen white women to say that he sexually harassed them all.
You heard it here first.
Do you know what surgeons do?
Yes, I do have this "self-serving" response
I'm brilliant enough to know that's exactly what you said, and to respond in the same vein to your brilliant lnsight, as well as to your brilliant response, my brilliant FRiend.
And actually, Dr. Ben Carson does obviously have enough political sense to gain a rather large following from the voter base, despite your brilliant observation to the contrary.
. But despite passionate support among his fans, how will he overcome the fact that he has no political experience?
Lack of political experience did not seem to hurt Obama? Along with lack of intelligence, common sense, leadership ability to mention a few other things......
You’re a genius. I like Carson and think he’s electable. Wanna make any more genius assumptions about who I think has political sense, moron.
Eisenhower held the allies together during World War II and kept peace between the U.S., British, French, Polish, and other army commanders and governments. His job was very political and he did it very well.
Democrats are the least of his worries. He has to survive the other Republican candidates ripping him to shreds long before he has to worry about the Democrats.
You’re right. I meant he was no career politician who ran for elected political office. Should’ve been more explicit.
