However, he was the most courteous, good sportsman like, and handled himself with grace.

Too bad.

He never had a chance. He was too outspoken about being a Christian. : ( I was thinking he may run as a vice though.

Post by: bremer51 on March 09, 2016, 09:00:49 am: I appreciate his soft-spoken direct approach. He's a true humanitarian. I just can't see him as a politician. "There are men too gentle to live among wolves."

Post by: aflyingmonkey on March 09, 2016, 01:43:05 pm: I liked Ben Carson.
I think he was too much like Carter. A religious, caring, charitable individual, but not so great as a politician. Maybe in due time though.

Post by: vg7405 on March 12, 2016, 03:46:08 am: He should have remained in his role as a neurologist. Much more respected and less cut-throat. I'm just saying. I didn't think he stood a chance to be quite honest.

Post by: schoolvan on March 12, 2016, 03:51:05 am: I don't think he would have made it anyway he seemed to be to soft to me. He didn't seem to have any back bone.

Post by: bremer51 on March 12, 2016, 08:07:29 am: I thought he was a great example of statesmanship. He didn't have the political killer instinct that many other candidates have. And I consider that a compliment. John Kasich has a similar demeanor. Both are the polar opposite of Donald Trump. And Trump is ahead in the polls? Very disturbing indeed.
