BEN CARSON’S love affair with himself along with his embellished recanting of his past sends up a red flag.

Do we need another Narcissist in Chief?

I think white Americans are still looking for a black person they can vote for to prove they’re not racist, a black who will end racial problems once and for all. They’ve learned nothing from the disaster of Obama. If Trump’s enemies succeed in getting rid of him, and Carson is still the next highest in the polls, America is set to make the same mistake all over again.

“The guy is as dumb as a bag of rocks.”

.....says the ‘journalist’ about an accomplished brain surgeon. LOL

I have no love for Dr. Ban Carson but to see a yo-yo like this say that he is as dumb as a bag of rocks is quite amusing.

Just like in the case of Obama, affirmative action policies are destroying our military, government, and services. The Post Office's problems can be traced to hiring policies. Obama and Carson are suspect with respect to intelligence due to the affirmative action policies. In professional school, the black minorities were given passes at almost every turn whereas the Asian and others were graded evenly.

I also read that someone on his own team was slamming him in public,I think it was in the New York Times and the source was a former CIA agent currently on Dr. Carson’s staff. One must be very careful when evaluating information these days. Given the two items mentioned I am very skeptical and in fact inclined to believe it was planted by those seeking to remove Dr.Carson from competing.

Because he’s not an idiot. He does, however, have some rather odd beliefs and ideas that definitely turn me off voting for him for president.

Life becomes incredibly simple because all of its problems can be solved through determination, hard work, and an unwavering belief in God.

The great majority of the world's problems can be solved with those three, yes. "Hard work" sometimes includes violence, too. Progs do not like determination, hard work, or belief in God, hence the dismissal here.

I have no problem saying that Obama has certainly been the worst president in my life, and likely in the history of the country. And the fact that you solution is to elect a person with the potential to be just as bad in his own way doesn’t surprise me in the least.

I think you meant “the right kind of Black”. The Colin Powell kind, not the Allen West kind...

Carson is totally out of his depth on the economy and foreign policy. A President at least needs to be knowledgeable enough to process information and advice. On those issues Carson is foundationally clueless. His support of amnesty, gun control, TPP, death panels and more is just wrong. I don’t know how anyone can look at his policies and believe he is Conservative.

“Carson’s stupidity isn’t putting us in danger and destroying our country.”

Yet.

Telling everyone how humble you are doesn't actually make you humble. Carson is a gifted surgeon and rightfully due accolades for that, but humble? No. Competent to be President? No.

Trump maybe be a bombastic blowhard, what's your problem with him being rich?, but he may be just what America needs right now. He's unapologetic about America and it's history and wants America and Americans to be great again! That works just fine for me. I prefer Cruz, but wouldn't be unhappy with Trump.
