Dr. Carson would serve his nation better by keeping at his doctor gig, study up a bit, collect some sweet speaker's fees and try running for governor of Maryland.
Well I think he wants to run for president because that's what people urged him to do. And he seems to have a pretty solid base of support at #2 right now in most polls, both state and national. It remains to be seen if he can win the GOP nomination and it also remains to be seen if the GOP can win the presidency. We won't know that until next year and it doesn't take a brain surgeon to understand that.
What you guys need to comprehend is, the voters who decide the GOP nominee are not likely going to pick someone you are creaming your panties over. I mean... that's just not going to happen for you, as much as you may wish for it. I'm sorry... I wish they could please you with a candidate you could all get behind and support but I just don't think they intend to nominate a Socialist.
At least nominate someone who can engender respect. I would nominate Dr. Carson for Surgeon General if I had that privilege. I respect Dr. Carson's medical skills. But I have to hear him say something worthy of the respect Americans pay to the President.
In executive administration, and in policy, I have my doubts.
Here's a candidate who, though I oppose his policies, I could respect as President: Govenor John Kasich of Ohio. I live in Ohio. I have had my state retirement fund raped under Kasich (why I don't know. I'm not a bad guy robbing the state blind. I just want to retire in humble dignity)
He is the popular Govenor of an important swing state. He served in the House and drafted a budget with a surplus. He's young and statesmanlike.
Why on earth would you Conservatives want to hitch your wagon to the untried, the inexperienced, the gaffe prone?
