I remember the 2012 Herman Cain implosion. One thing about an established politician is that “opposition research” has likely found any skeletons there are to be found.
He's a reasonably handsome, extremely successful, high-status guy. Just the sort of person that lots of women swoon for, which means he's had decades of temptations. Just like Herman Cain. In Dr Carson's current position, there's little incentive for anybody to come out of the woodwork. Running as a Republican, EVERYTHING in his past would come out, just when it would be most damaging.
He needs a run at an important, contested race first.
I saw Dr. Carson speak, 15 years ago, when I was 11. He captured my attention then as well.
I don’t know how He would do running for President or any office for that matter. I don’t know his stands on Guns, Immigration, taxes, etc. I would like to see that more before I pushed for a run.
Your observation just adds more evidence to the fact that the RNC has chosen who they’ll back long before any primary happens. Control when a primary for each state happens, favoring the states that are in the bag, add some social engineering to manipulate the media to deliver the message you want them to deliver, and viola! Just because they have an R next to their name doesn’t mean they’re honorable upstanding people.
