Ben Carson seems like a nice guy, and he’s obviously very intelligent, but he has some weird ideas about the second Amendment.

Carson's rise suggests that it's possible to catch the populist wave ...

He is more gentlemanly and more conservative,...

At first you got it right, Rich, then you got it wrong. Does anyone know what a conservative is anymore?

Too bad he doesn’t have the vocal chords of the “Rent’s Too High” guy from the last election.

Sorry Ben, but when you receive an endorsement from Politico, red flags go right up.

Isn’t Carson kinda shaky on guns, abortion, and amnesty?

Doesn’t sound like a conservative standardbearer to me.

Wow, the Politico telling us who is conservative. Sure guys, we believe you... just as we believe you have the best interests of conservatives in your heart.

I’ve known lots of service chiefs in my career, and a few neurosurgeons.

I have great respect for most of them, but President?

Wrong job.

Carson’s voice drives me crazy. It’s like Wheezer in The Little Rascals.

Yep! His anti-2nd amendment stance is a deal breaker, not to mention he has no executive experience. He should head up HHS under Trump.

In this election cycle, a real conservative, a real man, a brilliant man, and compelling man are not needed. What America really needs now is a braggart, a man with many foreign wives, a narcissist bigger than Obama, a crude and vulgar man, a man who appeals to crude sensibilities. That man is Donald Trump. He may not know any of the conservative thinkers or ever have previously supported or espoused their values or worldview, but what we need is a man that will give us simple and unclear answers.
