Ive already started backing away from this guy.....folks will sour on him soon and it will be a tidal wave.
American conservatives have been so thoroughly beaten up over the race issue that we’re desperate for a black/minority leader, who we are under the delusion will be immune to such criticisms and will thereby immunize us.
Ben Carson is an highly admirable person in many ways. That does not of itself make him a good choice to lead our movement, this country or the free world.
Like just about all conservatives, I’d be more than happy to vote for a credible conservative black or other minority presidential candidate. But if minority status is his/her primary qualification, watch out!
Carson reminds me in some ways of Herman Cain, who was a black man with an admirable life story and no other visible qualifications to be president.
Conservative candidates would be well advised to be faithful to their wives. Liberal candidates, multiple adulteries and accusations of sexual harassment and rape, no problem.
