Is Ben Carson starting to look even more weird?

[Ultralight]

I'm having trouble understanding how a former pediatric surgeon can think he could run the country. It's sort of like Trump thinking that just because he was a good businessman, that he could run the country. There are a few other types of challenges/issues facing a president. DUH! Maybe it's good that these guys have started their campaign so early. It gives us time to see their masks fall off.

What a circus this has become, and it embarrasses me.

I want Trump to win. Americans need to learn the tough lesson that being willfully stupid has repercussions. And Trump is the man to teach them that lesson!

Excepting foreign relations, there is so much bureaucratic structure in the Federal government that I bet it would all roll along relatively smoothly with a monkey in the White House. Maybe the same thing if even Harlan was
President. Harlan could outsource the World Leader role to someone with experience who is not Hillary.

What makes you think trump will teach us that any better than W? If it's going to take Trump causing more death and hatred and wasted money than bush was capable of than I really would rather not learn that lesson.

Exactly. We've had that lesson and hopefully enough of us have learned from it so we really do not get some clown in the White House to prove a point. We need to move forward, far away from what we had in those years. Trump is entertaining until you think of him actually in office. jp1 is right- potential for more death, hatred and wasted money.

The last President we had in the White House that actually steered this country in any direction had his head blown off in Dallas. And that piece of video is constantly being shown so that nobody ever forgets it.

What I don't understand here is why did Mr. Carson think he could get away with lying about a scholarship to West Point in this era of the Internet and instant fact checking? Did he think he was above being found out or ? I just don't get it but I say it's time for him to fold up the circus tent and go home.

It's not a "lie." He is using a word, scholarship, in a way different than your narrower definition of the word. No buildings were bombed, no one was tortured or blown up or riddled with bullets due to his misuse of the conventional meaning of this word.

But but you are welcome to continue to focus on this single point.

in the same way Monica wasn't sex. And the definition of IS is also sometimes hotly contested.

+1 really.

You are obviously racist.

we need someone with honesty and integrity like Hillary, oh wait

yep, in Bill's defense a lot of people would not consider what he and Monica did behind closed doors "sex." To me, of course it is "sex" but I do understand those who don't ascribe to term to their actions because it's a different kind of sex that intercourse.

And and for the "scholarship" word that has so many people up in arms, I can't see why "scholarship" may not be used for anyone who attends the military academies. They are all on scholarship there, meaning that someone else is paying their tuition.
