“Even if Donald Trump turns out not to be such a great president, which I don’t think is the case, I think he’s going to surround himself with really good people, but even if he didn’t, we’re only looking at four years as opposed to multiple generations and perhaps the loss of the American dream forever,” Carson said.

Pretty sure Ben thought he had made a killer point there so I am happy for him.

But, Dems have the same fear. If RBG vacated, a Repub prez could replace her with Santorum.

that Repub candidates are required to take a literacy test, and if they can formulate a coherent sentence more than 5 words long that contains only a single point they are disqualified.

when he was on TV and the interviewer was asking him specific details about the ACA and he admitted point blank he did not read the contents of the bill nor was he familiar with it. It's like WTF, you called it worse than slavery and you haven't bothered to know what it is, does, and how it is suppose to function. Why are you on my TV? Somehow this propelled him into running for president.

that doesn't respond to drugs. He's the good kind of gonorrhea. So if you have to have a STD, you want Trump as your President.
