Take a look at the first word in the title, genius. Benji is not ready for prime time.

True. I have a friend who is a political advisor. Whenever he meets with a prospective candidate, he asks about all of their skeletons to control the release timing. Get it our first.

What is annoying is when conservatives believe the lame stream media spin.

For instance, the sponge left in some guys brain. What I heard what that is was a special piece of foam that was meant to cushion impact and was left on purpose for later removal. Whole lot different than actual willful malpractice.

So he was a teenager with an attitude. He's shown that he's overcome that past.

Interesting that CNN can find everything they want to about Carson's growing up, but didn't show any curiosity about Obama's.

That goes WAY beyond “attitude.”

“Deception is very strong with this man.”

My feelings also. Stay far, far away from him.

There is serious dirt on him being held in reserve. After he takes out Trump.

a mentally ill mother

My recollection from Carson's autobiography is that his mother, despite a lack of education, was an extremely sane and foresighted person who is directly responsible for the success of her sons.

Just one question. If Carson, at the next debate, took a brick from under his podium and threw it at Trump, WOULD IT MESS UP HIS HAIR?

His violence is allegedly in the past, unlike that of liberals, who love to incite violence - provided it’s committed by others - against anyone who is different.

I believe you have pegged some of the holes as far as Carson is concerned. However even considering Trump I get the feeling the Republicans need other people as choices, and Jeb Bush certainly is not in that bunch.

Wow. This explains a lot. Seems like his low energy routine is him overcompensating for his past. If this guy gets the nomination it will be a disaster.

You Dupes for Donald can't have this both ways: If this applies to Carson today, then Donald Trump is still a Democrat who wants socialized medicine and open borders.

I have a lot more reason to believe Carson has changed than a current employer of hordes of busboys, maids, groundskeepers, and construction laborers.

And no, this doesn't mean I am a supporter of Ben Carson for President.

I doubt many of his supporters know he wants to abolish Social Security and Medicare.

Depending on what he proposes to replace them with, this may be the best thing he has going for him.

“True. I have a friend who is a political advisor. Whenever he meets with a prospective candidate, he asks about all of their skeletons to control the release timing. Get it our first.”

What are Trump’s? Or is he so well known for so long that they are all known? His divorce things and 4 bankruptcies out of hundreds of deals didn’t stick.

“The main reason that I would never vote for Carson is that he does not have the faintest beginning of a vestige of a clue about the Second Amendment.”

I figure he DOES understand the 2A but is too much of a libtard to support those silly God given rights. Or perhaps he’s drank too much of the SDA koolaid and really does think everybody else should be a pacifist too. If he really is that clueless about the 2A, he is dumber than we’ve been led to believe, and has no business running for president. Personally, I think he’d be better suited running along side Hillary as her VP. I wouldn’t put it past the Uniparty to give that a shot in the name of ‘unity’ and ‘overcoming’ racial divisions and divisive party politics.

She committed herself to a mental institute at one point, guess life in the ghetto got to her. It was after that that things changed in all their lives.

Benjamin Solomon Carson was raised in Detroit by his single mother. ... She also suffered from depression and would from time-to-time check herself into a mental institution.

I admire how he changed his life, do I think he would make a good conservative president, not with his stance on immigration.

Still looking hard at Cruz and Trump. Yes I know Trump has changed parties 5 times and has given huge amounts of money to dems. Maybe 0 has woke him up. He says the right things, but many running for office say them too, they tickle the ear, but may not be truth. Goes for all of them. Any but these 2 are a waste of time in my opinion. As conservatives we need to figure out who would do the best and get behind him all the way.

No giving to the RNC, just straight to the candidate. RNC is a beast that has to be starved to death worthless fools who want the status quo.
