I don’t understand Carson’s attraction as a candidate. Trump has never held elective office either, but he’s a howling commando. What exactly are people expecting Carson to be able to do??
RE: What exactly are people expecting Carson to be able to do??
I have a theory, but if I spelled it out, I’d be called race-obsessed.
Carson should ask Clarence Thomas what life as a black conservative is like. As long as you don't have power, fellow blacks will tolerate you as somewhat crazy but harmless. As soon as you DO have power, and use that power against the Democrat agenda, then you will be hated by 95% of fellow blacks.
Worse for you, your entire family will be hated by fellow blacks.
I have seen Carson bumper stickers. No others yet. A Trump bumper sticker might get the car vandalized.
I see the appeal of Carson. He speaks without a teleprompter, off the cuff. He comes across as a very intelligent man. He is a nice guy.
Nice guys finish last, if at all.
Carson is a very good speaker. Trump is as you said, a howling commando.
I lean to Carson because of his views, but I am not sure he will last through the stretch..
Ben Carson is smart enough, but not mean enough (to WIN a war) ....
I think, as another article alludes to, that Carson is quietly being pushed by the Yeb anti-Trump forces.
