Did this guy ever have any coherent talking points? How did he make it this far?

Because he's a good man, and he held the religious card. He just doesn't have the... personality for public speaking. Way too soft spoken.

how long before "Carson presidential candidate" recommends our new Coral calcium supplement. I can just see him milking it.

No--Trump is not stupid, doesn't come across as stupid at all. Carson, despite being an esteemed neurosurgeon, comes across as a complete moron. Trump comes across as an absolute asshole, but Carson comes across as incompetent, and the latter is unforgivable. I really believe he only got any attention because some GOP wanted to say "Look, we have a black guy, too, we're not all racist like you think."

True. They wanted a Black guy but not a dangerous black guy. Just one to at least show diversity.

Kind of like the Royal eunuchs that care for the queen back in the days.

Well, he is less nuts than Alan Keyes. Maybe someday Republicans will find a sane black guy they can run for something.

Alan Keys. Ben Carson. No mention of Herman Cain?

My mom still wears a stupid "Keys Please!" short that she made herself with puff paint. :rolleyes: Yes, she dresses like she is homeless.
