Ben Carson: My biggest weakness is I never saw myself running for president in the first place.
āThe 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.ā
Hundreds of thousands of people? Okay, Iāll 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 onlyā¦694 days. Non stop. I suppose they could have all spoke at once in one great orgy of presidential tongue bathing, but Iām not buying that either.
Jeb looks like he was assembled from the body parts of deceased plutocrats.
Universal reply: āIām a republican.ā I belong to a party that hates government and people. I havenāt the faintest idea of what Iām 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 āOh, that engineer says he has trouble remembering design patterns; heās out!ā 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.
Theyāre all a bunch of fugginā liars.
Cāmon. We all know Ā®s biggest weakness is āthe math they use to make themselves feel betterā!

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.
Iām a little nervous about Ted Cruz driving me home. What does he hope to achieve? I meanā¦ I can be a little creepy sometimes butā¦
Has Rand Paul been put on a milk carton yet?
You forgot to factor voices in head.
Itās not a stupid question at all. See TomDibbleās answer above.

###If you are the Ā® nominee-- how would you destroy democracy?

For bonus points: Which countries would you invade and why?
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 doesnāt seem nearly as dysfunctional, fu*ked up and batshitcrazy.
Just a factoid. Nowā¦back to the debate.
This GOP steaming load of bullsh*t keeps setting off my fire alarms. Jeeeezā! Wellā¦at least Agua Buddha Rubio seems to have hammered perhaps the last nails into Jebbyās coffin.
The moderators joined the clown show as clowns!
I am laughing so hard I can barely stand it
Based on those answers the future for the GOP candidate (whoever it is) in the general election is:
