If we want an adult as President, you're right.
But Dems say loopy, stupid, off-the-cuff stuff ALL THE TIME and their accomplices in the media NEVER call them on it. During his first campaign (and even his second) Obama tried to look so smart that he came off looking like an idiot ("57 States," "Do you know the cost of Arugula?," "Bitter clingers," "You didn't build that," "If I had a son," etc., ad infinitum).
And he's at the top! They ALL say nutty, offensive stuff!
If Ben had the sort of "air cover" the average donkey has, it would have been spun away at worst.
“If we want an adult as President, you’re right.”
My bar for that is pretty high, too. I’m sure Dr. Carson is a fantastic doctor and a good man. But that doesn’t mean he’d make a good President. In General Aviation circles, they have a name for certain high-end private planes: “doctor killers.” This is because sometimes doctors mistakenly believe their skill in medicine automatically makes them skillful at other things, such as piloting. The result is they get themselves and others killed.
