Ben Carson Has Absolutely No Idea What the Debt Limit Is

27. The problem with this is that a large number of ordinary Americans will say they agree with him.

To them it will be the big picture that counts for them--the fact that the U.S. has been piling up debt for years and that in their hearts they know that just putting everything on the credit card and not paying it off is bad even if their own credit card balances are sky high. If someone quibbles and says "Oh look, he doesn't understand what the debt ceiling is" well, these folks aren't going to get it. What they do get is that debt is bad. Ben Carson is against more debt, Ben Carson says he would show leadership, make those lazy bums in Washington find stuff to cut therefore Ben Carson is a good and wise man.

It's sort of like pointing out that Carly Fiorina lied through her teeth about that Planned Parenthood video. Well if you believe that abortion is murder, then the details don't matter. Abortion is bad. Lying about a frame in a video is justifiable if it helps to stop the dismemberment of unborn children.

It's hard to argue with that mentality.
