There is much detail at the linked article on some problems Ben Carson will encounter should he elect to run for President in the 2016 cycle.

My belief remains that WE MUST UNITE EARLY in support of TED CRUZ for 2016. We must not yet again create a split the conservative vote situation.

Dr. Carson should run for mayor in his hometown. Let’s see how he does as a chief executive in the smaller venues before we hand off the reigns of the country to him.

Give it up, Doc. You’re a fine man but just forget about it.

Ben Carson does not support the Constitution (Read Second Amendment). Nuff said about his campaign.

As a candidate for Surgeon General or head of HHS to oversee it's deconstruction and whatever funds are available after channeled to CDC. Other than that, or as a cheerleader for Conservative causes, at least those outside of his myopic reading the the 2nd Amendment...sure.

agree...narrow the filed of conservatives and let the GOPe flood the field.
I think Carson may be a gret guy..but not presidential. Perhaps a cabinet post...senator or congressman

Sometimes a run like this, without any realistic hope of victory, is a way of putting the candidate out there so that he can get a cabinet position. I hope that’s the case with Dr Carson—I hope he is not really so vain that he thinks he could actually be president.

Carson will get attacked mercilessly by the GOPe. We’ll find out if he has the staying power.

I have worked with a number of Ivy League Medical School Department Chairmen for the past 40 years. Even though Hopkins is not technically Ivy, their Medical School is certainly in that class.

The idea of any of these extraordinary physicians and researchers becoming POTUS with no political experience is just - ludicrous.

Cruz is my man for sure but Dr. Carson would certainly be another good choice, not sure why so many think you need to be a career politician to be president. Dr. Carson is not a liar, he is a man of integrity, and certainly has the cranial capacity to handle POTUS. I believe if he states his position he would stick to it.
His original comments on the Second Amendment were suspect but I believe what he has said since which was 100% support on the Second Amendment. He is not a liar.

Make no mistake about my position the Second Amendment is the most important part of the Constitution and once we restore the Republic, we can go back to Constitution Rule. As it stands now the Constitution is merely a figure head, we haven’t had Constitutional rule for many years. Politicians for the most part are elitist statist’s and at some point we will have to engage and defeat them. “It” is brewing and anyone that denies it is a fool or liar.

Once again Ted Cruz is my man.

Being an untried outsider might prove advantageous in some respects… until it comes time to deal with the airing of the past grievances.

I'm not inclined to vote for somebody who celebrates Festivus
