I never said conservatives and republicans are discriminating against Carson, Cruz, and Rubio.

Yes, but you implied the hell out of it.

I think it is extremely unfair to suggest that you or anyone else could know what I implied by any statement.

I'm beginning to think its extremely unfair to suggest that you know what you are saying.

I'm not at liberty to expound.

Ben Carson would get unequivocally destroyed in any debate against any of the Democrats mentioned. He's a brilliant man and a good man.....but he would be so out of his element one-on-one against Hill-Dawg or Uncle Joe.

He still hasn't learned the political way: to lie through your teeth like they do. He's too, too honest.

For instance, when he was asked if he would support a Muslim for president he should have said, "why, is there one running" and if there was a comeback question he could say, "when one runs, I'll give my answer". You can't win with the liberal media anyway so why give them fodder. Or better yet embarrass the heck of the questioner by saying, "now this is really a dumb question, next".

You don't have to answer everything that you're asked. Let them seethe with anger for not giving into them.

Or you can say "Of course I'm not bigoted and prejudiced against millions of Americans." But that would require one not to be bigoted and prejudiced against millions of Americans.

Carson is a smooth talking MD who thinks evolution is the work of the "adversary" (Devil), Obamacare is worse than slavery, Obama is a Nazi, the Earth is 5000 years old and wants to model our tax system after Leviticus. He'd be a huge drag on the ticket even as VP.

Says the man that apparently supports a socialist or democratic socialists, whichever one Sanders can use to his advantage in the moment.

You would be correct.

Unfortunately, I kinda agree with this. The only thing Carson could possibly do in a one-on-one debate would be to totally side-step the topics and become the ultimate outsider. Not that it would look all that good. He just comes across as too deer-in-the-headlights for my tastes at this point, but it is early. Heck, last time, Gingrich and Herman cain were leading the Reps, and of course that ended up changing quite dramatically.

I totally agree that Biden would be a much tougher opponent to beat due to the goodwill and benefit of the doubt he'd get from a lot of people swinging on the fence. Hillary is who she is. She's not gonna sway to many minds for her, but still can do damage against herself (and she seems to be).
