Carson is not only creepy, he is sneaky

I just saw a post debate interview with Dr Ben and he claimed that debates are supposed to be "A way to get to know candidates and their philosophies. Not a game of Gotcha".
No, Ben. What you are thinking of is an ice cream social. A debate is supposed to discuss various issues and allow the public to see your ability to think on your feet.
Just cut the bullshit.

There are always a few stupid gotcha questions sure, but the majority of the questions are shit you are suppose to know as a person who will be president. If your tax plan is widely panned by even conservative economists, you probably should be able to explain why your tax plan would work. Ben Carson's problem is his tax plan literally ends after one sentence. He has no economist on his campaign. He has never even considered checking to see if his "plan" would work. He is about one sentence deep or less on every issue. He's not going to win, because he doesn't know his shit. He can't even fake it like Fiorina.
