We’ll see how Carson holds up. He did prove in the last debate that he can deliver a joke...not sure if that qualifies him. And he does have a lot of Republicans wanting to tease the Dems by being able to say “Our black is better than your black!”, but whether he’s up to the job will be interesting to find out. In the recent past, he has stumbled over the Second Amendment, for example.
This mattereth not.
How he handles himself as BEING the joke is crucial!
