    He is not the best candidate. I would like him for Surgeon General though.

    And to Zacc who just lumped all women together saying we will cross party lines to vote for Clinton, I'll tell you that this women is tired of identity politics and would not vote for Clinton even if she was th only choice on the ballot.

    I don't believe that he is the best candidate.

    I could see him and Carly teaming up to make a "Hey, we're not politicians!" ticket, that could prove to be very popular.

    I would have no problems voting for him if he wins the primary. My primary vote looks like it's going to Cruz, though.

    I did no such thing. I do believe there will be a large number of women who cross over from the GOP and vote for her simply because of what it means for women. I didn't say anything about ALL women in the GOP.

    I have no problem with Carson'd religion though it would likely lose a few million evangelicals just as Romney's Mormonism. I am voting for president not my pastor. There is a world of difference between Carson and Obama. Carson was raised by his working mother. Obama was raised by an atheist mother, Muslim step father and then his relatively wealthy grand parents. Worst of all Obama is a Marxist. Ben Carson is a Conservative who has enough sense to surround himself with competent people if elected. That being said I do not believe he can win.

    I like Cruz. Have no doubt that he would make a capable president. However, he alienated a lot of Republican party operatives. That should not make a difference but it does. Heard on news this morning he is doing well in SC straw polls!

    My personal preference is a governor, Walker or Kasich!

    Truth is anyone who has announced for the Republican nomination and those waiting are far superior to the "bag lady", Hillary Clinton!

    Then again, be quiet about abortion and every other moral issue.

    Wouldn't it just have been easier to say liberal?

    What does is do for women?

    Does it do what it did for the African Americans?

    Which is rioting and race baiting.

    Dr. Carson is a remarkable man and Carla Fiorina is a remarkable woman. I would have no problem supporting either if one becomes the nominee. As far as the primary I am considering any Republican but Trump but am leaning toward Carson or Fiorina!

    I did no such thing.

    The nature of conservative and liberal, Dem and Repub in this country IS identity politics. That's why you've already chosen a side. :laugh:

    Excuses and justification to make one feel good about voting for evil.

    You'll have to ask Trump.


    White folks taught black folks how to riot and race bait silly man.

    Blacks should be careful not to let the election of a woman do to them what Barack did for old, racist and racially prejudiced white men which is make them into even louder more hateful racist and racially prejudiced old white men.

    I don't know what your "hund" is but if Dr. Carson is nominated Dr. Carson will be the next president. Then if he is as smart as I think he will pick Carla Fiorina as his VP!

    Only if Trump drops out of the race and doesn't split the vote.

    Pre-caffeinated ESL moment. Reverted to Swedish.

    "Dog."

    ...And the only way Carson will see the White House is as my dog's VP.
