Ben Carson

[addictionary]

How about red? Now that would be really old school!

You mean rednecks? I thought we've been over this.


Oooh Native Americans. That'd be killer.

I post therefore I am...

 

[Dr. Jones]

Carson can't do the job.
Surprised OP hasn't figured it out. It's Cruz. All.the.way.

 

[Dr. Jones]

So sad how many fall for poly-sci these days. Everything this go round is outsider, anti-Washington insider killers. Glad people are this ****ing dense to vote for those advised to run fro prez based on populist polls rather than substance. If Jeb or Hillary don't win we are in for 4 years of utter misery. Good job, Rome.

I think the flavor of the election is anti-establishment.
Therefore...

 

[Dr. Jones]

Jeb has ZERO chance. None.

 

[Stoked]

Is this the token conservative black guy?

I thought that was Alan West?

If that's the case, Cruz should consider running on the platform of "CHANGE".

Never been done before, and it's about time.

Change isn't a platform. Americans r dumb.

No, but it's a slogan. Slogans > Platforms any day...


How's this...


CHANGE WE CAN DO WITHOUT

It works on so many levels.

It'll be Ted Cruz prevailing IMO. Ben Carson would get demolished in any debate. Simply lacks political aptitude. Stick to the operating room, doc.

Sorry if I offended you Dutch. I was just joking. Of course I don't know you. But I know enough to screw with you about how much you care about the relevance of human skin color.

I think the most American of American things is the belief that other Americans are dumb/gullible.

[NAOS]

what's the evidence for the claim that Cruz will prevail?

I hope you're right.

I don't wholesale believe Americans are dumb.
I do believe we are fairly lazy.
I also believe we are fairly unqualified to determine which candidate would make the best president.
It's better than having a dictatorship, though.

And I don't believe we are unqualified because of being dumb, but more so gullible stemming from a laziness to do our homework.

Americans are lazy? Compared to who? You've got to be kidding me. A U.S. business owner calling Americans lazy... that's pretty ****ing rich.

I was referring to us being lazy about researching things out for ourselves... not about swinging a hammer.

aaaaand.. I'm not sure why a business owner calling Americans lazy is rich (even if I meant it the way you took it).

I think he's right.
