I am not trying to start a political debate . Far from it , I am am seeking answers in my own mind . What do you think of Ben Carson ?
Please only be factual , no comparisons to other candidates in the presidential race . I try to honestly decipher who a man IS , I do this in every day living , we all do. Most think other runners for leadership of our county are more conservative or 'bold' . Carson seems to have common sense , a rare gift in the times we live in . Perhaps I'm wrong , I have been many times .
I really would appreciate honest opinion , we live in troubled times and crap talk is useless .
If this post is inappropriate a mod can lock or put it in 'holding' , 'evidence' or whatever , will not hurt my feelings .

- 1. he's a Doctor not a politician
2. I don't care for the fact that he lent his name to some hokey (IMHO) product. Not very presidential.
3. if he were to become president, I could see myself on the edge of my seat every time he spoke, hoping he doesn't screw it up.
4. Not sure he has a good enough grasp on the issues

Google, who do I side with. It'll show the issues of the presidential candidates and how close you are to each one. I'm very close with Ben Carson and Ted Cruz, as it also turns out I don't have much in common with Hillary or Bernie.
My overall impression of Carson is he is to soft spoken to be truly effective

Lots more depth and skills and relevant knowledge with Cruz or Christie.
But they are not as cool and pretty as Rubio who has the best chance to beat Hill.

I think he is a brilliant surgeon and probably a very nice human being. Would love to have him as my next door neighbor or as the Surgeon General. That said, I don't think he has what it takes to be POTUS in these perilous times. imho

It does not take much to improve on what we have now.
My 2 year old grandson could do better. Literally.

He might just be the perfect candidate to perform much needed "brain" surgery on the extremes in the country and bring some folks together. My mind is not made up but we could do worse. (and have) LOL
