In reply to the discussion: BREAKING: Dr. Ben Carson Will Not Address John Hopkins Commencement [View all]graham4anything
(11,464 posts)36. Whatever. You are 100% wrong. Carson is going to be a superstar
I had heard about him months ago, but no one was talking about him
Then this, the whole nation is talking about him.
He moved to the top tier and he did it on purpose.
But it matters little, as Hillary will be the Next President anyhow. Thank God for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton being here in our hours of need.
All the other people you are referring to were IN office. That is the difference.
Carson has no accountability. He is NOT in office.
And he is not going for the gay vote, he is going for the conservative vote.
And he is not a teaparty person, just a regular conservative. Now he has gravitas for them.
It's like people that think W was stupid. W played them. No, W was not stupid.
No college grad is stupid. No president is stupid.

He's been touted as the Repubs' great black hope for 2016. I hope he's dug his own political grave.

Any publicity is better than No publicity. Carson wants to be Jeb's VP in 2016

A racist doctor who is a skilled surgeon. A physician who has no humanity is not a good physician

Well, not sure about racist. But sad, skewed, and darn bad twisted thinking, yes.
