Dr Ben Carson has our attention
We've already sent him money and we're not rich.

The Democratic leadership needs to really rethink about how they've handle themselves lately, and what some within their ranks have defended is worrisome too. Republicans will get their shot now and we'll see what happens moving forth. Luckily enough Americans realized we had an out of control president who's been very unreasonable while hiding behind Reid. It's shameful how some have tried to divide us for political gain. The shutdown while closing the monuments really bothered us. Fine, you bureaucrats fight, but to bring in some old dieing WWI or WWII vet into that fight was sorry stuff, period. Whoever made that shutdown decision with the WWII vets, either Obama or Reid, should be ashamed for closing those memorials then. Ben Carson is someone who might help bring this nation somewhat back together again. We love Ben Carson story, what an inspirational life he's lived so far.


Dr Ben Carson

It's almost like the GOP likes losing.

Carson's role in the 2016 nomination process will be determining which remaining candidate he will endorse after he drops out.

Don't know that he has enough political savvy to win but he would make a damn good Secretary of HHS.

You would think Ben Carson could wait for the election news cycle has ended before announcing? Geez!



Carson isn't going to stop anyone from running. He has zero chance with such a deep bench on GOP side.

I actually agree with you on all of your points.

Sounds eerily similar to someone who came to prominence based upon a speech he gave in 2004.

Hmmm.
I see that. the main difference is that I trust Obama to make a good decision on the things "unknown". Like Ebola, which he has made the correct decisions on. Unfortunately his PR team is failing him greatly and the Dems run like frightened children at the first sign of trouble. He held off on providing military support to Syrian rebels early when everyone was begging him to.

He has bucked the National Dems when he needed to... a quality I haven't seen in any of the R's.

Has he taken any stance on Ebola yet? Oh that's right, he said it was a mistake to bring US Missionaries infected with Ebola here. He was fear mongering from the outset. I think it is generally well accepted now that it is perfectly fine to bring ill US missionaries back to the US, no?

Agree to disagree. Because I see President Obama (at best) as a disengaged leader. Not inspiring in the least bit.

They ain't establishment.

Bush would be almost impossible to beat.

Rubio will enter if Jeb skips out and will be a solid contender

The planet with an instant ground game in place and 100 million cash on hand out the gate. Yea, that well oiled machine is waiting on his decision. It's not a club of $25 donors jerking it to Paul, this is big time money that keeps him in the race until the end if he decides to run.

Sure, he'll be a factor in the technical sense with the establishment and big corporations behind him but he's going to need a hell of a lot more than that to win the Presidency. His last name is going to be an albatross around him.
