It is time to become concerned with the personal diligence of Ben Carson, with respect to the preparation he has put into running for President. In what is becoming a sadly familiar refrain, Carson was once again today unable to answer a very basic question about United States policy, or to even be prepared to discuss the subject knowledgeably (or even conversantly).

I know exactly how you feel.
You argue just like a lefty. Your whole argument here is one personal attacks at Dr Carson after another. Frankly you are making yourself look very silly.
I stated why I'm opposed to Carson. Perhaps you can give me a reason why I should change my mind? Why are you so convinced he should be the next president?
true words
Agreed. On the other hand I am tired of the GOPe hacks and mouth pieces telling me who should and shouldn’t be president
Still failing the coherence requirement. Do keep trying.
Well here is your chance to show me how it's done. I am very serious. Please tell me why in your opinion Dr. Carson is the best candidate for the presidency? What is it about his proposed policies that convinced you?
I see, you are one of those child like intellects that thinks having the last word means you “won”.
Well go right ahead. Keep embarrassing yourself then.
I can’t speak for everyone, but the quality of a man’s character is pretty high on my list of essential requirements.
And I have never questioned Dr. Carson's character or his integrity. But character alone is not enough. One has to have a grasp of the issues and plans for dealing with the problems this country is facing. And I don't believe that Carson does.
I don’t believe that Carson was unable to answer that question. Rather, he chose not to answer but failed to dodge the question as smoothly as the liars who usually win. I don’t see innate honesty and limited skills at deception as flaws.
Carson is not among my top choices, but this is not a reason to treat him as unqualified. Considering what we have tolerated over the past six years, more than 90% of Americans would be an improvement. Carson would be at least as good as the average president, and that is close enough to qualified that I’d be okay with voting for him.
He's as bright as any auto mechanic. When it comes to simple concepts like "shall not be infringed", he's a moron. I think he spent too much time reading the magazines in his own waiting room.
Especially when there are so many important matters on which to criticize him.
Why do I keep hearing the surgeon general meme today about Carson? Seems like a push.
