Ben Carson: My biggest weakness is I never saw myself running for president in the first place.
âThe weakness would be not really seeing myself in that position until hundreds of thousands of people began to tell me that I needed to do it.â
Hundreds of thousands of people? Okay, Iâll bite. Minimum of 200,000 people, each one telling you that you should run for president. Give each one 5 seconds to tell you, and that would take onlyâŚ694 days. Non stop. I suppose they could have all spoke at once in one great orgy of presidential tongue bathing, but Iâm not buying that either.

Universal reply: âIâm a republican.â I belong to a party that hates government and people. I havenât the faintest idea of what Iâm doing, or how I do it. I might have a future as a lizard.

Okay, this is a stock interview question. Meaning, pull any book on how to interview for a job off the shelf and they will tell you this question will be coming, and you better have a good answer for it.
In fact, if I interview you for a job as a software engineer, you will get exactly this question amongst others. A lot of people fail at this question, because to give a good answer you have to have a moment of self-reflection and actually think critically of yourself and your abilities. No one takes the answer to the question and says âOh, that engineer says he has trouble remembering design patterns; heâs out!â The answer only matters on where it falls on the spectrum between honest and self-aware, and disingenuousness.
In short, I see here ten people who would not get to a second interview at my company on the basis of this one question alone. If you can not see any honest fault in yourself, even a minor one, then you are not fit to work with others and certainly are not capable of leadership.

Why would anyone ask this kind of stupid question? Even a Jr. High student knows how to answer this question in a way that mocks the fool asking it.
Do these moderators get paid? They sure are not doing their jobs well.

Jeb said he was impatient. One of the absolute last character traits any president should have considering what is at stake. If anything, patience ought to be their number 1 trait.

Just FYI: If you watch one of these Republcan Freakshow Debates and, alternately, watch the documentary Will You Kill for Me? Charles Manson and His Followers, the Manson Family doesnât seem nearly as dysfunctional, fu*ked up and batshitcrazy.
Just a factoid. NowâŚback to the debate.
