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

What are your favorite things about Ben Carson?

Mine is that he was very good at his day job I guess?

Not a career politician
Pretty damned smart
Conservative
Not a Bush
Balls big enough to criticize Obama with him sitting next to him.
Very good at his day job is not a negative

Jeb "Dynasty" bush
Scott "Koch protege" walker
Donald "accelerationism" Trump
Rick "glasses" Perry

before those dudes

I honestly don't care about your list. This thread is about Carson/Rubio.

It doesn't matter what I think about Carson it matters what the electorate thinks and that is..well they don't give a crap about him

like lets :toxx: if carson wins the Republican nom I can be permabanned and if he does not win it you can be.

No, not toxxing.

Just answer the question. It was not a difficult question.

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 POTUS.

What quality would he need to have to be "viable"?

Having any political experience at all?


Like yeah I'm the best microbiologist in the country but that doesn't mean I get to be president.

*looks at Obama, looks at you, then laughs hysterically*

Oh yes, "Political Experience" carries a lot of weight these days.

If anything, I suspect a growing number of people would prefer someone beyond the typical "Politically Experienced".

What is it that president Ben Carson is going to do that you look especially forward to? Is there any former president you'd like him to emulate?

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.

If you swallow the bullshit that presidential hopefuls feed you concerning their intentions, I truly pity you.

He merely strikes me as an intelligent, levelheaded, honest and principled individual with a decent moral compass. 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?

Better than the current office holder, who never had a real job in his life and is quite the polititian.
