Sort of wish he’d run for president again.

He’s a nice guy but he’s too soft. The Washington crowd would destroy him. JMHO

So do I. He’d be one of the greatest presidents in history, alongside Donald Trump, Ronald Reagan, Teddy Roosevelt, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

I agree. He was effective at managing a bloated and bureaucratic agency. No easy task but its far from trying to control the vast DC Swamp which vigorously defends itself against all who would dare to contain it.

I don’t think he’s ‘soft’. I think he’s too wise to walk into that lion’s den again.

Well, the press wasn't the least bit quiet about him nor did they heap praises upon him:

Ben Carson, Retired Brain Surgeon, Has Lobotomized HUD

HUD Secretary Ben Carson has failed America's working families. They deserve better.

This Story About Ben Carson's Role in the Trump Administration Is Damning

Under Ben Carson, more families live in HUD housing that fails health and safety inspections

The presstitues will always find fault with Republican administrations, while turning the blind eye during Democrat administrations. I could have continued, but I figured you would get the point.

He’s probably too much the introvert to win in the American culture, at least if running as a Republican.
We look for someone who can both negotiate and ‘gladiate’ as needed.

Vanity Fair, Esquire, and NBC have nothing good to say about any Conservative. Ignore them.

Well, I personally don’t listen to them, but others do. But the fact is, it wasn’t limited to just what I listed. It covered the entire litany of the press who are like an appendage of the Democrat Party and who cater to them politically.

Agreed! One decent person who would bring respect back to the presidency

Ben Carson is such a smart man. I don’t blame him for not wanting to run again, though I still believe he’d be an excellent president!

Agreed…except one decent person would find themselves in a car in a river, unfortunately. Only Jesus coming back is the answer

Until Jesus comes back, it’s on US.

I don’t think He expected us to sit on our hands and wait for Him like simps.

In his way, Dr. Carson has done amazing work to wake people up and keep Truth in front of them.

They’re going to be against anybody who bucks the leftist (not even ‘Liberal’, anymore) agenda.

I wish he never ran the first time. He was well-respected and well-liked. Then, he ran for office, and the press dragged him through the mud.

Maybe he handled the criticism well on a personal level, but it was difficult to watch.

As a side note, he’s 72, and he doesn’t seem to be aging. He must sleep well with a clear conscience.

This isn’t a vanity...you are sharing a video of an event. No vanity in that. :-)
