No political neophytes, not now.
We need someone who knows the Constitution inside and out, and can beat the bureaucrats at their own game. Cruz.

We won’t have one this time either. I can’t imagine Carson’s appeal. He literally puts me to sleep when he speaks. Nice, accomplished man, but not POTUS material.

And a straw poll like this means very little...which is why The Hill is trying to make it a big deal.

We’ve never had a vegetarian president either.

Carson said some good things. He also said some stupid things.
I figure there is more to being president than having said some good things.

We’re so racist—oh, I forgot, it’s racist to like a world class surgeon because he’s black.

Looks like a lot of GOP voters have a guilt complex.
Same type as the whites who voted for Obama.

Oh, wonder, joy, and gory, a boutique candidate who just diverts votes from real, electable conservatives with genuine, solid governmental experience who can actually win the election and make genuine hard rock changes that must be made.

It is hard to take the unqualified Dr. Carson too seriously. And it is hard to take this straw poll too seriously when Ron Paul and Ben Carson win it.

And I’m fairly confident in predicting we never will. Certainly not this time, sorry Doc. Wendell Wilkie is not walking through that door.

We have NEVER had a president without government experience. Not one. How about President Eisenhower, unless you classify military service as government experience in the truest sense...............

I don’t think Carson is qualified to be president, but that being said, a thing he has going for him is that he is a genuinely good man with a history of making good decisions.

In real terms we could do worse. In completely realistic terms we most assuredly will do worse!

It’s all noble and nice and it feels good; but we know Carson’s candidacy goes nowhere, right?
It’s a little like almost every high school nowadays makes certain to nominate a downs syndrome girl for prom queen.
Again, it feels nice and is a great gesture; but it renders the whole concept of prom queen almost meaningless.
Of course, the analogy I used is wholly inept as a comparison in any way; Carson is exemplary and highly accomplished; but again, this OKC convention made a splash, like a cannonball dive into the pool; but as everyone towels off afterward, the question has to be asked: now what?.

Gosh. I wonder what sent Ted Cruz’ poll numbers down so fast?
You don’t think conservatives caught wind of that fast track trade thing, do you?
