Carson always struck me as the kind of person who was wholly incompetent to do anything outside of his specialty. Not a generalist by any means. A bit of a savant type, but tightly focused.

Yes! ‘Savant’ explains everything he did (or failed to do) during his pitiful run for the nomination.
Excellent Post!
Reminds me of a lady friend who was a research scientist but was incapable of boiling spaghetti.
In more blunt times of the past, they used to call that kind of person an “Idiot Savant”.
Carson is not meant for the world of politics anyway. He’s too straight forward. Most politicians know they have to comment on everything, without fully committing to anything.
It’s not ‘nice’, but it’s the truth. Donald Trump definitely knows it.
