RE: Great interview with Ben Carson
You can answer questions candidly when you don't have anything to lose.
Look at the other candidates. They're losers. They live for politics. Sure they can get a job if they fail as a lobbyist, or some other loser political job. Guys like Carson, Trump, Paul (Ron & Rand) can say whatever they want because they have successful careers to fall back on.

Ben Carson kicks arse. Too bad he could never win the nomination because he's black.

Republicans don't care what color our candidate is. We just want the damage Obama has inflicted to be undone.
Conversely, Democrats elected Obama BECAUSE of what color he is.

So if Been Carson ran as a Democrat, he would win? LMFAO

If it had been Ben Carson vs Hillary Clinton in the Primary? I'd say he'd have gotten 90%+ of the black vote.
Most Democrat voters don't even know their own party's platform, outside a few talking points and outright lies. So, Carson could've said whatever he wanted and the sheep would have followed.

I think he'd get considerably more than any other republican front-runner would, probably followed in second by Rand, and that might well be enough to turn the result of the election as a whole.

Honestly, he seems like a genuinely nice guy. Probably too nice for American politics.

There isn't a single candidate in the field that wouldn't make millions in the private sector running a contracting or consulting firm. Of course, that is the root of the problem, but they all have plenty to fall back on peddling influence.

Wow. That's not a partisan comment. LMFAO

RE: Great interview with Ben Carson
Carson has already been demonized and "Uncle Tom'd" by the black left because he doesn't toe the liberal line.
He wouldn't stand a chance in that party.

My only real problem with Carson is the Seventh Day Adventist affiliation. It is though not a deal breaker with me. He has good ideas and seems genuinely to be a fine man.

Yeah consulting or contracting for other loser politicians, lobbyist groups, or legal departments at large corporations.
They're losers compared to doctors, engineers, and other do-ers and makers.

He use to be idolized by the black left. I would be willing to bet that most of his book sales in the 90's were from the black left.
