I may be in the minority here, but I don’t think you jump from being a nuerosurgeon to Presidential candidate. He does not have any political experience. If he was the nominee of the Republican party, we would be doing the same thing that we accused the Democrats of 6 years ago with Obama (supporting a neophyte at the top of the ticket), only worse. Obama had more political experience at that time than Dr. Carson.
While I truly admire and respect Dr. Carson, he is not ready to be a Presidential candidate.
Totally Agree.
Experience and track record still count, at least IMHO.
To be “devil’s advocate” what political experience did George Washington have? He hadn’t been the governor of anything.
I wouldn’t mind Dr. Carson in a cabinet post or some advisory capacity first. How about HHS secretary?
...”While I truly admire and respect Dr. Carson, he is not ready to be a Presidential candidate”...
Agreed....he needs to learn the ropes before he can attempt such an endeavor. However I can easily see running and winning other positions he might determine as getting his feet wet.
It will be interesting to see what he stands for. He’s smart enough to be President (a decision maker, a people person and motivator with solid core values) and if he’s a good manager, he’ll surround himself with insider smart people who do have political experience. Health care is an important problem that needs reform and he is an expert in this area.
His campaign will tell his story on whether he’s ready for prime time or not. I really like him no matter what happens around the election. The rinos won’t want him “butting in.”
