Carson promotes abortifacients (”day-after”) to this day, does he not? And Trump even worse, infinitely worse.
Ben Carson would be in over his head. He would be the Republicans Jimmy Carter.
He would be a great cabinet member.
Rich Lowry, National Review GOPe bitch.
Ben Carson has many accomplishments. He is intelligent and moral.
However, he is being used as a tool to attack Donald Trump.
The people in the MSM hate Ben Carson. They hate his views on homosexuality, abortion, etc. However they praise him. But only as a way to attack Donald Trump.
I don’t want the “smartest” passenger to fly the plane, I want the pilot to fly it.
Carson ain’t a pilot.
Surgeon General maybe but with him supporting gun control maybe not.
I'd have no problem with Dr. Carson operating on my brain. I would have a problem with him running my country.
Well if it’s POLITICO I’ll definitely vote for Carson now! It’s not like they’re foaming at the mouth amnesty supporters and leftists! Right? Right? Anybody?
Fixed.
He is for amnesty, no sale.
Interesting; Politico promoting 2nd place soft spoken Carson over the bombastic Trump. Both described by Politico’s Rich Lowry as “unconventionals” and neither of which score, although Carson has more points than Trump, very high on the conservative meter.
Carson has yet to speak out about “Black Lives Matter” Slowly but surely black conservatives are comming forth accepting the reality that Obama created this hyphenation of Americans using race for his own political purposes. Which I’ve been posting here in FR’s for years was employed as a political tactic to defer any constitutional questioning action of the 1st branch by the 2nd branch of government.

The sad part is we do have a black candidate now in second place in current polling running for POTUS who has yet to speakout on this matter. Until he will he does not deserve consideration to be our POTUS
Carson, while an amazing physician and a kind man, would get chewed up and spit out by the left DC/Midge & Bonehead cabal. They would completely steamroll him.

He’s neither a conservative nor a leader.
If Rich Lowery is for him, then I’m against him. That and he seems to be open boarders and weak on the 2A. He’s buddies with Trump so maybe either him or Cruz for VP, I’d prefer Cruz.
From some of the comments here, I’d gather that although Mr. Carson is extremely intelligent and a pleasant person; WE NEED A LOUD-MOUTHED - GET IT DONE KIND OF PERSON.
AND .. guess what ..?? I suspect the disaffected Jeb supporters are turning to Carson; mainly because he seems to be similar in character; soft spoken and soft on amnesty, against guns, etc. He’s a perfect fit for the people who vote GOP-e.
The big problem for Trump is that Carson is the only other primary candidate who he would lose to in a one-on-one match and it’s by a lot, 55 to 36 percent.
The next candidate who performs best against Trump is Cruz, losing to Trump 41 to 48. Everyone else loses to Trump by more.
I don’t know if Carson would be a good president, but I am sure he could never handle the fight to get elected. He would be in way over his head.
3. Who would you vote for if the only two candidates for the Republican nomination were
Donald Trump and [NAME]?
Trump - Other - (VOL) No one - (VOL) Don’t know
Jeb Bush 56% 37% 5% 2%
Ben Carson 36% 55% 1% 8%
Marco Rubio 52% 38% 1% 9%
Chris Christie 63% 30% 2% 5%
John Kasich 62% 29% 3% 7%
Ted Cruz 48% 41% 4% 7%
Cary Fiorina 50% 37% 5% 8%
Scott Walker 53% 38% 3% 6%
Rand Paul 60% 27% 5% 8%
There are some big issues where he is not conservative at all
Raise your hand if you really believe Ben Carson has a ghost of a chance agains’t Donald Trump for the GOP nomination. :-)
No thanks. He has some negatives. He has led a very interesting life but that does not a President make. Trump and Cruz are better. He would not get in the face of others like Trump does. We need a fighter.
