And it lacks inner city violence problems on the scales seen in more typically antigun states and ha an exceptionally low violent crime rate. No reason to bring up guns negatively and risk votes with demographics like that.

Ben Carson has some... interesting views about checks and balances:

quote:

Republican presidential candidate and tea party favorite Ben Carson said in an interview with Newsmax that the President of the United States doesn't have to follow the Supreme Court if the high court were to rule in favor of same-sex marriage.

"First of all, we have to understand how the Constitution works. The president is required to carry out the laws of the land, the laws of the land come from the legislative branch," Carson said on Tuesday. "So if the legislative branch creates a law or changes a law, the executive branch has a responsibly to carry it out. It doesn’t say they have the responsibility to carry out a judicial law. And that's something we need to talk about."

Of course the President doesn't have to listen to the Supreme Court when the Supreme Court tells him to do something.

Worked out real well for Richard Nixon, after all. :downsbravo:

Bernie voted for the Manchin-Toomey gun control bill when it was up in the Senate in 2013. He also voted for Feinstein's assault weapons ban amendment to the bill. :ssh:

What favors can the GOP bestow on Carson and Fiorina? I imagine that they're being pushed to be able to attack from a position of 'authenticity' on the identity politics issues and weaken the Democrats.

Neither one strike me as megalomaniacs and they have enough money, so I'm assuming that they're being rewarded somehow. Or are they actually just that vain/crazy?

Fiorina is absolutely that vain.

You don't think Carson is too? He strikes me as exactly that vain--the rear end in a top hat doctor who thinks that because he's a medical genius it must apply to all areas of his life.

At least Carson was a successful neurosurgeon before getting on the wingnut welfare gravy train. Fiorina's just a total failure of a CEO who failed upward all her life.

Carson, at least, has a pretty noisy "Draft Ben Carson 2016" movement behind him. Conservatives adore the man, although none of that is likely to translate into real support in the primary.

Fiorina doesn't seem to realize that her big, defining achievement is one that Republican power players probably do not give a poo poo about. If anything the people she's trying to get money & support from probably think that CEOs should be men and Fiorina's disastrous tenure at HP proves that.

Yeah, I've heard some interviews with her and she doesn't use any self depreciating humor or other tactics politicians typically use to humanize herself, she just sits there and brags about how awesome she is the whole time and how everyone else sucks.
