Replace Rubio with Condi Rice would be a hoot as well. Sadly, she will never run.

To answer your question: I don't dislike Ben Carson. He's probably helped a bunch of kids with his neuro stuff or whatever. He simply isn't a viable candidate for POTUS.

He is going to lower the sea levels, bring about world peace, and kill Bin Laden again. But mostly it will break the string of career politicians in the oval office.

If there's nothing specific you'd like to see done, and you just want a non-politician as president, I think Donald J Trump is your best bet.

"I'm good at this neurosurgery thing, might as well weigh in on politics" and the fox news viewers ate it up because it was a black man criticizing Obama. OP why do you want a non politician to be the leader of the free world, a job that is exclusively about playing politics?

The reason Carson is not "running for the nom" is because despite denying the validity of evolution by natural selection despite years of collegiate biology education, he is not stupid. He has no chance in hell, and he knows it. His main role is to be a reasonable black man that a particular subset of Republican can point to and say "see?? i'm not racist" immediately after calling the president a subhuman mongrel. The awful awful ACA-is-slavery thing plays loving fantastically with those guys and you can't deny it. Carson will leverage his role into some book sales, campaign merch, and donations to his PAC. He is angling for a gig with a certain conservative media outlet. He will then proceed to get rich as hell and exert tons more influence than he ever would as an immediately-doomed candidate hth

I don't need continental shifting promises, but rather stability and common sense. Realistically speaking, how do you think Carson would do regarding issues like ISIS, Iran sanctions, and Israel without a political background? I'm sure he has opinions, but making opinions reality in what is an immensely complicated political system without the know-how and connections is a different thing altogether. For example, he can't just say "Let's bomb Iran"; he'll have to work with multiple groups to make this happen, including Congress and people who support the sanctions. He would almost certainly have to rely on other politicians due to his lack of experience, presumably his Tea Party cronies, and they're pretty much all career politicians, so you're going to get career politicians at some level. Also, every president ever has made "continental shifting promises". Even Carson would do that. babypolis posted:he seems like the kind of very smart dude thats just so in love with his own intelligence that he thinks all of his opinions and ideas are wonderful and amazing no matter how poorly thought and misinformed they might be I work with doctors, and most of them are like this. They have massive egos, and will argue with you about every little thing, because they think they know how to do your job better than you, even when they have no idea what the hell they're talking about. Carson would do far more good being a neurosurgeon than he would ever do as a president (not that this will ever happen).
