I think Carson is conservative enough to mitigate the concerns you mentioned. I really think he could catch on even if he is a slow-grower.
His close association with race baiters like Sharpton or “kill all whites” like Farrakhan will never be overlooked by me. I am totally fed up with the racial BS we have had for 7 years. And lest you think Carson isn’t racist remember he is for “ social justice” code for more racism. And his second guessing in the shooting of Michael Brown the huge 300 pounder was perpetuating a myth that feeds “blacklivesmatter”
