That's the Reagan recipe all Republicans must follow. Carson couldn't know less about the economy or foreign policy. Accordingly, he's fertile ground for discredited Supply-Siders and NeoCons.

Why single out Carson?

The entire Republican Party is rotten to the core.

The most moderate Republican of today is far more radical and dangerous than the most batshit crazy Bircher of the 1950's and 60's.

Fuck them all.

Fuck them all.

The long and the short and the tall.

It's what their "handlers" tell them to think. Zero is projecting again.

Candidate Carson comes across as an idiot savant outside of his field of expertise.

He has the arrogance of someone who thinks that since they are an accomplished surgeon everything else in life is easy, such as being a President. He is condescending if you sit back and listen to him.
He is the type that puts down people that major in liberal arts, etc. Well that is my impression anyway.

He will never ever be President because in the end he is unlikeable to most Americans, baggers notwithstanding.

The interviewer seemed flabbergasted with the irrationality of his statements.

Doesn't matter.

Crazy talk works with Republican primary voters.

I predict that in the upcoming weeks Carson will hang right in there with Trump at the top of the field.

The further you go in education the more singular your knowledge becomes. By the time one becomes a PhD or MD, you are absolutely the most intelligent person on Earth in your uber defined genre. That doesn't mean you know dick about anything else.

1. Carson might be a world class surgeon in his specialty.
2. That doesn't mean he can competently change a flat, let alone run the Federal government.

Do you just write in cliches or do you actually think in cliches too?
