I have worked in both health care and construction. Skilled welders are great to have around but you don’t want them designing the building or doing the wiring.

There is so much Ben has said that leaves one scratching his head.
Exhibit A: He says he can’t continue on to New Hampshire from Iowa because he must fly 2,500 miles out of his way to go home for a “fresh change of clothes” because he did not pack enough or maybe the Nordstrom Rack in Manchester sucks… or maybe he had to go to the bathroom at home because he does not believe in public toilets.
Exhibit B: In order to make himself appear presumably more “likeable” during a presidential campaign, he volunteers that he once told an armed would-be robber who stuck a gun in his ribs at a “Popeye’s organization” “I think the one you want is over there” (motioning to the counter clerk).
I think he is certifiable and have posted this many times, but there could be something organic going on too. As you say, his “affect” is weird. He also laughs inappropriately at things that should not elicit laughter, like the rock throwing and stabbing he says he administered as a kid.

“He said it was political, he was concerned about the fact that he couldn’t shake me. I understand, you know, politics, and particularly the politics of personal distraction. You have to admit to some degree that it did work. A lot of people believed him.”
The only thing creepier than that statement would be if Carson really were a child molester.
He’s down in Barty Crouch’s chest —

At least after he did the surgery.

Thank goodness he had 50 other surgeons helping him.
To be fair, Trump didn’t call Carson a child molester. He called him a “psychopath, like a child molester.”
For Carson, that was clearly toned down enough to allow him to endorse the man who just called him a psychopath.

Politics of personal “distraction”??? Ben can’t even get the slogans right.
I can’t help but hear this in a Sheriff Buford T. Justice voice.

These folks who purport to run for president should be much more highly scrutinized. For instance, what do we really know about Bendo Carson? This could end up a Cosby saga on steroids, with children.
Dr. Ben has an advantage.
You cannot easily see the brown on his nose.
Looks like we’ll have to endure more of Carson’s inane comments for a long time to come. Self-pity ain’t pretty.
Breaking news: The real Ben Carson was just found locked in a storeroom in a Johns Hopkins University academic building, where he had been held captive since 2011…
Note to self: if in need, find a different brain surgeon.
This is sad…
Apparently there is no EXIT from this arena…
This is proof positive that Carson is unfit to hold any elected office, much less the Presidancy. It also illustrates that Trump is unfit for office as well.
I’m getting really, really sick and tired of experiencing a new low for Western Civilization every 17 hours. So The Rump defeated Benzo by calling him a child molester, yet wanted his endorsement badly enough to bribe him with a spoils job. Then Benzo has the complete, utter lack of absence of common sense to not only bring it up in a public interview, but to bring it up in a way that makes it sound like a compliment to The Rump’s brilliant lying skills. The mind reels.

LOL. Yes, that’s a pretty good description of what just transpired in the last 24 hours (at least for Ben Carson). Almost laughable beyond belief. Almost sick beyond belief. Really tragic.
Hey! There needs to be a Broadway musical about this. The name, of course: “Short-Fingered Vulgarian Takes on the World!” A wealthy,orange carnival barker has realized that his talents are screaming, yelling and telling over-the-top terrible lies and/or compliments about others to get what he wants in life. He’s exceedingly ego-driven as well as vain and thin-skinned. He holds grudges for life! He’s just as exceedingly offensive as he can be complementary. He’s believes he’s a master at deception, and places full blame for his shortcomings on others – and he’s almost like a Pied Piper … he attracts the meanest, most vilest of the village citizens. He thinks he’s master of the universe when, in reality, his ass is kissed by those around him because he’s wealthy–including his young, foreigner trophy wife, his children by his various past trophy wives and his employees. Character’s name? Danny Horn.
We open the play in the very early hours of the day. After showering, Danny squeezing himself into a fresh deluxe double-strength spanx leotard before putting on the day’s suit and tie; brand new family-size can of Aqua-Net sitting on the bathroom sink counter, in front of the quadruple floor-to-ceiling mirrors …
I have learned a lot about denial, self delusion,and how strong it can be watching The GOP the last few years. Trump’s comments is not what killed Carson’s campaign, any more then Obama is responsible for The Trump Phenomenon. Carson’s own flaky, off-the-wall comments is what made people think twice. The fact that he does not get that is the perfect example what I am talking about
