It sure looks like Ben Carson is running. And if we want to win in 2016, we need to take a good chunk of the black vote. Ben Carson can "Woo Black Voters" into the Republican Party. All he has to do is tell them the truth regarding how Dem's actually feel about them. More like using them as pawns. Adding Ted Cruz to the ticket would be our best bet. Now we have a "Black/Latino Ticket". The Carson/Cruz or Cruz/Carson ticket is considered a Dream Ticket for many conservatives. That's the ticket that will bring in lots of minority voters. We could nominate the Dream Ticket of "Walker/Pence, or Walker/Cruz",but it wont be a sure thing in Blue States. Any combination of Carson/Cruz/West is still our best bet in 2016.
All things being equal, couldn’t hurt.
No, I don’t agree.
Been there and done that. Probably need a woman, and not Palin.
Nice fella. Carson won’t get my vote for anything at this time.
I don’t agree. I’m not saying that we shouldn’t have a black man on the ticket, but we don’t NEED one.
I’m very ambivalent about Carson, although I would love to see Allen West in the VP slot.
No thanks.
Peddle your affirmative action to someone else.
We don’t need another black candidate for another 100 years after the damage the first one did.
Carson is anti-gun anyways....why do Freepers continue to support his charade?
Hell no, I most certainly do not agree. Leave the racial/identity politics to all those cretins on the Progressive Left.
A Cruz/Carson ticket might have a lot to offer because of the ideas and character of these two gentlemen, but we do not have to let the Left to force us to operate at their level.
After Obimbo we’ll wait 200 years for the next black president.
We need a solid conservative who can win.
NO!
I do not agree to racist set-sides.
I’m conservative ... leave the skin-color obsession to the marxists.
No.
Considering that black Republicans are wholly labeled “Uncle Tom” traitors, I don’t follow your logic. Other than that, Carson is a brilliant man who can do great things. He is also a political neophyte who cannot win a national elected office at this time.
No. We dont.
Scott Walker has (some) black hair. Is that good enough?
Billy Jeff wuz the first Black POTUS; Bammy is the first Mulatto - no slave blood POTUS.
I don’t agree with that, either.
I don’t vote for skin color, and I don’t vote for genitalia.
We need a conservative constitutionalist and a constitutionalist conservative.
We need a competent leader who isn’t afraid to stand up to the media and the DemocRATS.
Is Carson that person? I don’t know.
No, what we need is the best qualified candidate. If he happens to be black then we will have a black candidate because we’ve see what happens when people put race ahead of qualifications.
