Ben Carson: I'm not low energy. I used to attack people with rocks, bricks, baseball hats and hammers. You call that low energy?

And that’s supposed to be a reassurance to me?

Carson has many virtues including humility and patience. He is very different from Trump, true.

Carson is much more like Quintus Fabius Maximus....LOL...which, in the case of Hannibal, was genius.

Trump has been going just about non-stop since he got in. I can only imagine what he would be able to accomplish as President, with his drive. Amazing. It would be amazing!

I have from the beginning believed that this man has the potential to be even more damaging than Obama. Deception is very strong with this man.

I keep hoping that folks learned a lesson and got a little wiser after nearly destroying the country the last two elections.

Carson: "I tried to stab someone"

I guess he is going for the Rat crossover vote. It might just work.

I say again, Ben Carson is a dangerous man bordering on sociapathy. I want him nowhere near the Presidency. I hope he fades and soon.

Quite simply, there is just something seriously wrong with the man.

Hopefully by now the majority of Americans realize that character really does matter. Not saying Carson is a man of shady character. I don’t know. But I do think that his ultra low key demeanor is odd. Very odd.

Once Dr. Carson decided to run for office, his good name was sure to be tarnished. It’s a shame, but that’s the game of politics, especially for a Republican.

Somewhere else, in response to Trump, Carson also said:

>>> “As I’ve said many times, there have been many times where I’ve operated 12, 15, 20 hours, and that requires a lot of energy. Doesn’t require a lot of jumping up and down and screaming, but it does require a lot of concentration.” <<<

If only he’d stuck with that response...

A Democrat like Obama can talk openly about how he was headed down the wrong road as a young man, and the media will commend him. But a Republican must be careful of every word he speaks.

I’m not a fan of Carson being President for many, many reasons, but his childhood is not one of them. Carson has long discussed that he was WAY on the wrong path as a VERY angry child and that his mother straightened him out. To me, this is a plus, not a minus, that he had parenting powerful enough to turn a potential gang-banger into a brain surgeon.

And the “malpractice” issue is a non-starter too. This is a neurosurgeon who performed as many as 400 surgeries a year, every year of his practice, and a surgeon to whom the most difficult cases were referred, including cases that other doctors had botched, and yet Carson has had only about a half dozen malpractice suits during his career, and this in a ridiculously sue-happy society.

While I’m not a Carson supporter, you have to go back and look at how he grew up, a mentally ill mother, told he was learning disabled, stupid, lived in the projects.

The man pulled himself out of all that to become a leading Neurosurgeon.

I can admire that. But he is to left for me. Nor do I like the fact he wants vaccines to be mandatory. When many of them should never have been marketed. Gardasil is one of them.

I’d take Cruz or Trump at this point. What I’m waiting for is who their VP choices are going to be. I want to see Lt. Col Allen West who we know is a good conservative in at least Sec. of Defense if not VP. We have to repair our Military.

Carson's violent past: Bricks, bats, hammers

Can we really consider voting for a former "street thug?" /s

In his past as a doctor, he told a robber to turn the gun on the guy behind the counter proving adulthood hasn’t changed his character. No, thanks. America can do a lot better.

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.
