If Dr. Carsen decides to run this nation will see racism not seen since Robert E. Lee surrendered.

6 presidents never held public office before becoming president
1. George Washington
2. Herbert Hoover
3. Ulysus S. Grant
5. Dwight D. Eisenhower
6. Zachary Taylor
7. William Howard Taft
Some of these guys were pretty darn good presidents. So I don’t buy you need experience to be a good president. In fact, sometimes I think inexperience might be a good thing.

We went through this with Herman Cain. Looked great, then the Democrats started looking through the women in his past, and he folded quickly.
Give me somebody who has already been vetted. Somebody who has already had Dem operatives going through his trash cans looking for dirt. Somebody the Dems have already done their best to destroy, like Palin, Cruz, or Scott Walker.

I’ve been pretty turned off by the RUN BEN RUN radio commercials. The only thing missing was Billy Mays.

I read he supports 2A but I'm not expert. But I will say this: Any guy that has the nuts to not only badmouth The One to his face but also in front of a crowd WITH The One there can't be all bad. Cruz ever do that or Palin? Probably not because they never got the opportunity, but I wouldn't brush Carson off yet.

I like the good doctor, but I see him as a VP, not a President.
But he has a better chance then Palin.

Agree. I like Carson. But I will not fall into any traps having to do with firsts, color or ignorant feel good stuff or patronizing.

NO!!!!!!!! Great guy....NOT Presidential material!!!!!
To: Impala64ssa
Forget it. I caught Hell when I was dissing Herman Cain for POTUS. I have nothing against Cain, but just felt that he should run for Senate, Congress, or Governor first before running for POTUS. Same thing with Carson.
To: Linda Frances
Three on your list (Washington, Grant, Eisenhower) had executive experience from being the top general in a major war. Taylor was also a wartime general (2-star)
Hoover was head of the U.S. Food Administration during WW 1, and was Commerce Secretary (and his administration was still not a success)
Taft was Governor-General of the Philippines and Secretary of War.
They ALL had executive experience in running major governmental entities.
Where is Ben Carson's experience in running a major government entity? Where is Ben Carson's experience in running a major entity of ANY kind?
