Where has he even been a city councilman, mayor or county supervisor? You don’t throw someone with absolutely no government experience into the top spot, I don’t care how smart, charismatic or wonderful they might be. Presidents are governors, senators, generals or at least congressmen or cabinet secretaries. We have never placed a complete neophyte in there and when we come close to it (Barack Obama) disaster strikes. For instance, Ted Cruz, although a freshman senator, was the longest serving solicitor general of Texas in history and has forgotten more about constitutional law than Mr. Obama ever knew. Sarah Palin was on the city council, then mayor (and was president of the Alaska Conference of Mayors), state energy chairwoman, then governor.

I’d like to see Ben Carson run for Mayor of Detroit. He’s a hometown hero and if he can handle that snakepit of a city council he will have proven himself on several fronts.

Plus I think some close contact with Police chief Craig will help solidify him on guns.

We agree 100% on that -—even beyond his commie ideology, one reason we are in so much crap is that Zero hasn’t the slightest idea what he’s doing about anything.

We had that ex-professional wrestler once upon a time.

I don’t understand how the Democrats can consistently run their most liberal candidates and Republicans have to run guys from the country club.

I want to see a very conservative candidate.

Here in Pennsylvania, we have a Republican clean sweep and they can’t enact any major changes other than raising taxes (gasoline).

I refuse to be a Republican voter anymore...I am voting on a personal basis.
