I’ve read only posts 1-28 on this thread and find in them comments for and against Carson which on FR would be expected but the weight of the comments seems to be against him.
I just have a couple observations:
1. Hillary might indeed run and IF SHE DOES she might win. Think of that long and hard, not dismissively.
2. Carson can likely win, experts claim, 20-50% of the black vote guaranteeing him victory.
So, fellow freepers, would you rather have Hillary in the Whitehouse with BJC down the hall or Dr. Ben Carson?
Let me presume to answer for nearly all Freepers! No, the answer is so painfully obvious I shouldn’t have to.
For myself, I prefer Cruz most of all, then Palin and I sure like Gowdy.
But, I’m beginning to believe Carson MAY BE our ACE IN THE HOLE cuz the dims start out on Election Day with 45%, or thereabouts, of the dumbed down room temperature American Electorate heading to their polling place to vote several times for Hillary or some other dim! Indeed, “at this point, what difference does it make”, one dim is as bad as another! “ We MUST defeat them in 14 & 16 to save this country!
I have no problem with Carson running as vice-pres with Cruz, Palin, or Gowdy but replacing Obozo who has been very successful at destroying our country with another black guy we really know little about, I don’t think it is very wise.
Why would we want any member of any bureaucracy, from school to John Hopkins that is all he has known, running our government, be they black, white or purple? We have tried this once and look where we are now.
A very insightful post....thanks. I agree about Dr. Carson but believe he would be better as vice president. We have a big mess to clean up after Obozo and need a strong leader to get that started. I don’t see one rising to the top yet. We have a little time. I like Cruz and Palin but prefer a governor like Mike Pence but he hasn’t made any noise about running.
I won’t vote for anyone but a conservative. I’ve been burned too many times.
