I understand, but I also know it's a hell of a lot easier to do things when you have some sort of connections. I'd like to see him be a governor first, so he can understand what it's like to lead millions of people.

This is what kills me about presidential candidates and peoples perspectives. No one and I mean no one is seasoned enough or smart enough to both handle economic and foreign issues. Carson IMO is more than capable of handling domestic issues. It's frigging common sense. We spend more than we take in...cut spending, people are coming across the border.....put more people on the border.
Being president is no different than being a head football coach. You surround yourself with people you trust and who are knowledgeable in the areas you are not. You coach to your strengths and rely on others to cover your weaknesses.

Don't see any way that he wins the nomination, much less the general election.
Frankly, at this stage of the game, if forced to bet the smart money is on Hillary. I'm not promoting; I'm just suggesting the odds.

...and I think he's doing a pretty shitty job
Experience matters in everything. When you first started at your current job, were you anywhere near as good as you are now?

I hate that he is going to screw his life up by jumping into that snake pit. I guess he knows what he is doing.

Obama would have done a substantially better job had he'd been a governor first. His supporters did a disservice to him by electing him prior to being ready. But with Hillary as the other choice, they were forced into it.
I think rand is going to have the same failing.

He is just what we say Washington DC needs, a non politician, in it for the country, not for the bribes.
A pragmatic guy who will reach across the isle.
Any pol with a slick pre prepared answer ain't worth a shyt.

Correction... 4 years.
It's interesting that the same folks who said he was the least experienced man ever elected are now backing two senators, Paul or Cruz, with as little or less than Obama, and Carson, zero.
Carson's lack of experience won't be a detriment if he wins (and he won't), his inexperience will show in the campaign.
Think of the other great GOP hopes in the past who crashed and burned... Perry, that Senator/actor from Tenn, well every candidate last election save for Romney. The GOP polls looked like heart rate monitors....up and down.

at least we could see his college transcripts.... and they would all have the same name on them.

I wonder if Carson sat in a church somewhere listening to a false prophet teaching 'hate whitey'?

But considering his views on evolution, it's probably best he keeps his writings sealed.

Of course he did.. I mean if you guys can continue to make shite up, I'm game.

I don't think he'd win the nomination. However, I'd like to see him involved in the discussions and debates.
Posted on 8/2/14 at 8:02 am to KeyserSoze999
I pray that America wakes up and elects this brilliant man to get our country back on track. I stand behind him 100%.
In Ben I trust

You are SO delusional. Your worship of this obama fool is almost cult-like.
You are one of the biggest partisan hacks I have seen on this site or any other message board.

I agree. I think he is angling for a VP spot or maybe a cabinet level post.
