He’s a really good man and human being, I think. Brilliant surgeon. Big brain. Impressive resume. The cut of his jib does not lend itself to Washington DC warfare. He’s like the black Mike Pence. Doesn’t have the chest for the bloody work necessary.

How did Trump do standing up to the Deep State when he was POTUS?

Yes. He has morals and is super smart. We're not used to that.

When running against Trump years back, Carson was and still is, the only person that I donated to their campaign

I think he would be a great president. He doesn’t have the personality to get people excited . He is one of the few who were against the Covid vaccine early on .

“He’d probably help pull in some black voters”

Before Dr Carson entered the presidential race he had a book signing at book store in Shreveport.I drove up there,bought the book and stood in line to get it signed and shake his hand.

There were something like 300-350 people in line,all white.I mean not one black person.
That should tell you something.
I expected some professional black people would have been there but nope.

It's going-to-be Scott or Carson for VP.

I personally would prefer Carson over Scott even though I'm an SC guy .... anybody but that duplicitous forked tongued beatch Trikki Nikki.

Are you advocating for book signing attendance based on skin color?

How is he clueless in other parts of his life? Some examples please.

Ben Carson would be a hell of a lot better than Tim Scott.

And neither would get any black votes.

Well lots of blacks voted for Obama strictly because he was black (and Democrat.).

I had a conversation with a black nurse I worked with.She and her husband were very accomplished and hardworking.
She was one of top nurses in our unit and was a consultant for a medical device company,they paid her well to teach use of their device.She was my go to person when I had questions about that machine.
Her husband was a hustler,he had a full time job and a yard service on the side.He also had tractor and did some bushhogging in his spare time.In addition,he had some rent houses.
They were living the American dream due to their hard work and accomplishments.
Had a beautiful house,nice vehicles,etc.

At same time she was all in for Obama,strictly because he was black.Obama was a grifter,never held a job of accomplishment.
I asked her why she wanted to support the party that wanted to take her hard earned money and give it to people that didn’t want to work,supported dependency of blacks to keep them on the plantation,etc.

Interestingly,about 3 years into his term she told me she maybe shouldn’t have voted for Obama.

As for as Ben Carson I kinda expected some blacks would have celebrated a black person with his impressive accomplishments,beat the odds considering where he came from.
Pretty sure if he had been a NFL football player lots of blacks(and whites)would have been at his book signing.

He's a really fricking solid and good dude. Problem is he is too good of a dude to be in politics.

Ben Carson would make an excellent POTUS or VEEP.

I’d be most excited to see how much Democrats would squirm trying to figure out how to call people who vote for a Republican black man instead of a Democrat white man racists.

I like Ben but cabinet secretary is probably his ceiling.

I could see Sec. of State but even that may be a bit of a reach. A little to affable for my liking as a head decision maker.

Trump compared Ben Carson to a child molester and so was Trump. So what.

If the traditional Judeo-Christian values that once graced this country were still in effect Dr.Ben Carson would make a great President. Unfortunately, treachery, betrayal, and corruption of every sort, along with cultural malaise, now poison our culture.

Having said that, I believe they would treat Dr. Carson just like they're treating President Donald Trump, now. I have great admiration for both Dr. Ben Carson and President Donald Trump. The demoniacs (disguised as elected officials) hate them and that tells you all you need to know about the people attacking them and us.
