it can be done and it won’t take rocket science to do it
No no no! Democrats engage in identity politics, but even they don’t go nominating candidates with zero political experience or record. Carson appears to be a nice man, but he’s a pro-amnesty quasi-liberal.
The most qualified, conservative guv (Fallin) happens to be a woman.
Leftists: Don't pat Carson on the head if you want your hand back.
Can Carson survive a severe Caining (of the Herman variety)?
He’s a very bright guy, and my impression is that he is sincere. I think it would be fantastic if he runs. Give him a chance. If you don’t like what he says, don’t vote for him in the primaries. It takes a lot of guts, IMHO, for someone with no political background to take a leap of faith and run for office because they think things aren’t going in the right direction. He would add a great amount of interest to the primaries.
Well, we know that a severe Hilling of the Anita variety can be survived...
I prefer Allen West if we’re doing the racist thing. Ben Carson would happily ban the first Amendment so his bullet wound surgeries can be replaced by knife wound surgeries. He knows how to repair people. He just doesn’t know how to defend them.
Strike that, second amendment. Typo.
Research his stand on 2A. It disqualifies him. Would make a great Surgeon General, but president.... Nope.
Haley would be my first choice, but I don't think she's eligible. :(
This is a troll post, right?
Liberal black people despise conservative blacks.
Go see what they say about Mia Love, Thomas Sowell, Herman Cain, Condi Rice, and others.
You want them to hear. Oh, they’re listening. I just spent a weekend listening to videos by liberal black speakers and they have their audience convinced that there’s a broad conspiracy to depress the black population.
They are being preached to and brain washed and a black conservative isn’t going to sway them.
I supported Cain because I thought he was the best man for the job. I will continue to support the best person for the job, regardless of race, skin color, sex, or religion.
Black people have got to figure it out on their own and no amount of pandering that we may or may not do will help them.
Ben Carson is a moral man or integrity. He has a lot of great qualities. He does have many qualities that will put him at a disadvantage in a general election.
Agree, but Caraon would make a good Surgeon General, Tim Scott would be a better VP pick.
Bite your tongue, we don’t pick people on the basis of their skin color
While we have some potential candidates for such a ticket, using race and gender is a stupid reason to put someone out there. Ability trumps race and gender if we are able to stick together to push the right person to the top of the heap.
Jeez, that could make some liberal heads explode. Love it!
Ben seems like a nice guy. He should run for something else to prove he can run for office before he tries to compete in the Super Bowl of politics.
There is an idiot in the white hut that got elected and never ran anything as an executive that got elected that couldn't wax Carson's shoes. "Community organizer" is not a real job. Carson is a real live candidate with real experience.He's certainly more qualified than Obama, but that is hardly the standard, is it?
No we don’t.
He can “Woo Black Voters” without being on the ticket
