>> It's time for you to understand that a man can be brilliant at a singular thing and an absolute obtusion at everything else. I think I just described Carson.

And a guy can be a slick reader of speeches written by others, yet a total ignoramus on pretty much every topic, which describes Obama eight years ago.

Carson is a brilliant physician, for sure. But he has shown great ability in numerous other areas, I would argue, more than any other candidate, left or right. Carson has the best understanding of basic economics of any candidate, left or right, besides Rubio, who I believe is in about the same place as Carson. Trump understands the big picture but could never identify with the middle class.

The most important thing a president does is to think rationally about difficult problems, listen to people who are better informed than he is, and then make decisions accordingly. Without injecting hatred and party politics into the process as Obama has done.

Whether or not you like it Obama has been the most divisive political figure of our lifetimes. That is a simple fact. He has done great damage to our country not only from his own incompetence but by fomenting hatred amongst its people. Ben Carson will not do this. Donald Trump, I just don't know, maybe he won't, either.

Hillary Clinton will. I guarantee that much. Because that is the foundation of her campaign. Sanders maybe wouldn't be he clearly has no understanding of economics.

Not worth arguing about. The media want to veto Carson based on his religion and that makes it very difficult for him to move forward.
