The Ben Carson Factor.We Need A Black American On The 2016 Ticket. All Agreed?
Posted on 11/10/2014 6:08:45 PM PST by Cruz_West_Paul2016
It sure looks like Ben Carson is running. And if we want to win in 2016, we need to take a good chunk of the black vote. Ben Carson can "Woo Black Voters" into the Republican Party. All he has to do is tell them the truth regarding how Dem's actually feel about them. More like using them as pawns. Adding Ted Cruz to the ticket would be our best bet. Now we have a "Black/Latino Ticket". The Carson/Cruz or Cruz/Carson ticket is considered a Dream Ticket for many conservatives. That's the ticket that will bring in lots of minority voters. We could nominate the Dream Ticket of "Walker/Pence, or Walker/Cruz",but it wont be a sure thing in Blue States. Any combination of Carson/Cruz/West is still our best bet in 2016.

I disagree. We need the best man on the ticket. That’s Ted Cruz.

No. We just need a good person who attracts people. He or she can be white, black, black Hispanic or white Hispanic, East Indian or American Indian. It doesn’t matter.

I don’t care what color he is. I just want to hear what he and the rest of the candidates have to say.

I don’t give a damn what color or for that matter what gender they are. They better damn well be a Conservative.

No. Republicans need to forget the race crap. What the Reps need is a conservative candidate that supports all of the bill of rights. nine of ten doesn’t get it and color is of no concern. Running someone like Carson would be nothing more than tokenism

Great Cabinet member. Not a good choice for President, and I say this as a social conservative.

I think he would be a great cabinet secretary, but as an anti-gun guy, don’t think he is Presidential material. Not yet, anyway.

It wouldn’t hurt to have an accomplished black man espousing conservative values near the front of the Republican Party. I encourage his candidacy. I see no downside to it

We need an American on the ticket. A Constitutionalist.
Ben Carson may well be that man.

Carson for sec. Hhs
To: Cruz_West_Paul2016
Fine, but he has to win on his own merits. He is a fine man, a humble man of integrity, a Christian. But he has to earn the nomination, I am ambivalent at this point. I could say more but I will refrain from opening up a can of Annelida.

A. Carson is an elitist when it comes to our 2nd Amendment right, and is therefor not gonna get the votes of A Bunch of us.
B. If you want a black on the ticket so bad then start plugging for a real American hero, Allen West.
