He’d like to torch the Second Amendment.
Ben Carson's candidacy is Herman Cain minus the sexual harassment accusations. As with Cain, we have a successful and articulate individual with zero political experience seeking the highest political office. In both instances, they wouldn't even be a blip on the media radar screens but for one thing: they are black Republicans. A certain faction of the GOP is so eager to twist themselves into pretzels proving how "inclusive" and "non-racist" they are that they're willing to throw their support and votes behind vanity non-candidacies like Carson and Cain's. The GOP has its own affirmative action, in other words.
Case in point: back in 1992, a successful software engineer turned businessman named Jim Lenane ran for the GOP nomination. How many people knew about him then? No more than a handful, because his qualifications for the Presidency were precisely the same was Cain and Carson's: zero. But since he wasn't a "minority" for GOP activists to use as a posterchild for inclusiveness, he was quickly forgotten.
