re: How realistic are Ben Carson's chances in a general election?

He should run for the United States Senate from Michigan, and stop talking about Marxism.
It boggles my mind that we want to elect people as President who have no executive experience. I have no desire to see Ted Cruz or Rand Paul get the nomination because they've never run anything. Now Scott Walker, he would be fantastic. Even Jeb Bush would be OK.
But can we please consider executive experience when electing a President? We elected a guy twice recently who had none and look how that's turned out.

I suggest that you do your research when discussing Dr Carson. The man is an American hero!!!
In Ben I trust!!!

Is this sarcasm or delusion? What has he run apart from a surgical team?

People like Carson because he's not a career politician. If you're really looking for executive experience why is the default always someone who's been in politics his whole life. If you need someone with that kind of experience I'd prefer someone from the business world or the military.

Oh I don't know, he was just the youngest chairman of the pediatric neurosurgery program at Hopkins. He has been underestimated his entire life.
I suggest you get your head out of your arse and realize that we need a true leader to rise from the ashes of this once great country and get us back on track.

In the general election his chances would be excellent, as a matter of fact I can't see any dem even coming close. He would split the dem base with many blacks saying, we want a do over, don't judge us all by Obama. The young energetic kids would be less energetic to vote against a BLACK BRAIN SURGEON and would stay home in droves or actually support B.C., especially seeing as the economy has hurt the young the most.
And the evangelical base would be out in force.
WIN EASY

He doesn't have the gravitas or charisma from what I've seen, and obviously lacks experience for the job.

Well that's that. No one understands blacks and young people like an insane, old, right winger from Alabama.

No way, bro. When I need an honest opinion on what the black community and young voters are thinking, I look to SEC Crazy.

Or get someone in office that thinks logically and surgically like a doctor.
Rand fits that bill.

I understand dynamics you ignorant liberal.
I stated in 2007 that Hillary couldn't win the base because she wasn't liberal enough.
B.C. probably won't win the base, so it is irrelevant, but the question was asked.
And yes, I know enough about blacks to know they stick together.
Your party knows enough abouf race baiting with pos's like you on hand.
You and your stupid party has done a wonderful job, of destroying our economy, you young dumb azz0.

I wasn't denying that. If you scroll up, you'd see that was affirming your astute grasp of the situation.

This is the kind of insight we need on this board. You obviously have the scoop.

Which party is mine? You have no idea who I vote for. Posted on 6/7/14 at 9:59 pm to hsfolk

Should he decide to run for president, could he win the Republican nomination?

How realistic are Ben Carson's chances in a general election?
Posted on 6/8/14 at 3:39 am to NC_Tigah
I actually think the chances are greater than half that he would be the running mate of Mr. Paul. In case you haven't heard, Mr. Paul is a doctor and has high regard for such. In case you haven't heard, Mr. Paul is trying to reach out to minorities. In case you haven't heard, Mr. Carson has a high opinion of Mr. Paul, so the appeal would be mutual. ;)
