I'm sorry, this is just painfully ridiculous

I cannot take Ben Carson on a Rap song. This is so god awfully stupid. Why? Please, just go to the link, click on the soundcloud thingy and listen to the song. No. We need to ban him from rapping or whatever this is that he did here. I gotta go to my mama house now and show her this right this minute. Well, warm the car up first, but right after that.

"Miami, Atlanta, Houston, Detroit, Birmingham, Jackson, Memphis, and Little Rock for two weeks, according to ABC."

God have mercy on the people who live there. Can we airlift care packages??

And what they will think of this whole thing. They will see this as smart on Carson's part in getting black voters. Most of who they view as not knowing much better . But carson who they see as one of the good ones knowing how to get their support.

The whole carson campaign has been strange. But he is still doing well in the polls.
