I like Carson but other than a few good lines, he hasn’t given me a reason to believe he would be a good president.

I believe the two most important issues facing this nation right now are JOBS and IMMIGRATION. I am not a huge fan of Trump but he wins both those debates over Carson.

I don't have the same priority list, and a topic like "JOBS" affords more than one political approach that can be described as conservative.

I am not big on scorched earth campaigns against non-establishment conservatives. Whatever gripes people may have against Walker, it is ludicrous to call him establishment in the same way that John Ellis Bush is establishment. Cruz has also openly accused Senate leadership of lying on the Floor in the Senate. That is serious pushback, so he is not really exstablishment the way John Ellis Bush is. Carson has never sought political office, and has no familial connections, so he falls into that category as well.

So, out of the 16 candidates, there's a half dozen that I may not support, but wouldn't dream of attacking in a way to discredit them. One, because it wouldn't be honest. Two, because we need to stop punishing people who are willing to enetr the arena, even if they are imperfect. Three, we must save our fire for teh ROMNEYs and JOHN ELLIS BUSHES of teh world.
