I really like Ben Carson. Whoever talked him into running for president did him absolutely no favors.
He would make a good Surgeon General or even Secretary of Health in charge of dismantling Obamacare, but he needed to drop out yesterday.
I like Doc Carson as well. Enjoy his speeches and his composure during debates. That being said....
Early in the “draft Carson” campaign I received a phone call to support and contribute to Carson. He had already made a Second Amendment gaff and I doubted his qualifications to be President. One good speech and it was nowhere near as good Reagan’s speech for Goldwater, can qualify someone to be President. I was suspicious then about the Carson effort. I believe he was inserted in the race to split the Conservative / Tea Party vote. There was already strong anti GOP-e sentiment and had been for years. Nothing I’ve seen has changed my opinion, Dr. Carson will have fun, be important and make money from books and speaking engagements. This strategy has backfired and benefited Trump, however the GOP-e would rather have Trump the “deal maker” than Cruz.
