Thank you for the clarification, but I don’t see how wanting some actual legislative experience and/or a voting record of some kind equates to avoiding “risks and surprises at all costs.” It simply doesn’t, particularly in Carson’s case when he has already made comments regarding the 2nd Amendment that should give one pause.
I wasn’t questioning the “pause” on the 2A issues - although some on here have way over stated his position on that. I simply reject this whole notion of absolutely positively needing political experience.
I’m sure you thought you knew what you were getting with GWB. How did those surprises work out for ya?
