The Ben Carson Factor.We Need A Black American On The 2016 Ticket. All Agreed?

[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.

All things are not equal. Colon Powell is proof that being of a (slightly - in his case) darker skin hue is not enough to save the country.

I don’t agree that there is to be ‘grouping’; certainly there isn’t on my part. I’m sick of group-think and balkanization. It’s what leftists do to set We the People at each others’ throats

I agree. I was responding to the conversation, not addressing the policy.

[HMS Surprise]

Yes we can.

[SandwicheGuy]

Like Queen much? Sound like”Play the Game.” Why not make it simple and vote for anyone who can first spell ‘Constitution’ without a script?

[reasonisfaith]

Carson’s idea of health care reform is a microchip planted into each individual.

And a health savings account starting with 2000 dollars given from the government to each individual.

[Paladin2]

Dude’s on a roll......

[Amity]

if you want a black on the ticket so bad then start plugging for a real American hero, Allen West.

My first thought as well. I'm not a fan of the "we need a black candidate" idea (pick the best person, not the best person who fits PC category X), but what we *don't* need is a candidate with no experience, meaning I'm opposed to Ben Carson. So far as I know, Carson's never been so much as a mayor. I'd be happier with a former governor, but at least West's been a Representative.

Palin has been vetted. Whom are you considering?

[JRandomFreeper]

Nope. I don't pander.

It seems we are in agreement on all facets of this matter.

This is the internet ... is such a thing even possible?

[eclecticEel]

Is that like “we need a female on the 2008 ticket”?

Don’t let your guard down yet! LOL.

[tflabo]

Maybe Ben for VP-— or else Surgeon General would be a great choice too.

[Envisioning]

Excellent....

I would opt for FOLLOW the CONSTITUTION.

z-—————————

Haven’t gotten that far.

[Cruz_West_Paul2016]

well it will be interesting if West also runs! does anyone know if he is considering?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Yeah, she’s the reason McCain lost. Fool.

[TomGuy]

why do Freepers continue to support his charade?

You seem to be relatively new here.

The candidate-preference-bots show up every election cycle, pushing their candidate. They are NOT here to engage in discussions or debate. They ARE here to spread propaganda about their preferred candidate. They show up in many of the political threads.

It will only get worse as the 2016 cycle actually starts.

If you try to engage them in every thread, you will wear yourself out. You will get to the point where you will just ignore their threads/comments.

I’ll say.
