I didn’t say he was NOT a great man- I agree he clearly is, and I hope he does stay on the center stage.
But I don’t see an entirely different quality called “leadership” in him.
In order to lead you have to have the type of personality that makes people want to follow. Reagan had it in spades. Bill Clinton oozed it from his pores. (although he clearly did NOT deserve it)
Ben Carson is a great man but I don’t see this in him, and his repeated stumbling over conservative comments is troubling.
He was probably a great leader in the medical field where his brilliance led people to look up to him. I don’t see people looking up to him for political brilliance- even though he has expressed great conservative ideals (at times)
No matter how much you ‘earned the right’ to leadership, you cannot get it that way- Leadership ability is like charisma- you have it or you don’t.
Well said about Carson.
He should stick to healthcare policy, where he clearly excels.
He is not the man for 2016.
