In the wacky world of U.S. politics, religious beliefs unfortunately play a role. Ben Carson claimed that a "sign from God" in the forms of visions that friends had and also friends calling him that hadn't called him for some time were clearly indicative of God's plan that Trump should be president. As a secular non-religious American, I want to personally apologize to the other developed world for too many of our citizens who think like Ben Carson. I know it must seem strange to you just how religious people are in this country and the crazy things they believe, but you can't make this stuff up people. Hopefully Christianity will go by the wayside in the next 50 years in the U.S. otherwise stupid stuff like this will keep happening. Ben Carson may be a respected neurosurgeon, but when it comes to religion, he is a certified nutjob.

I'm picturing poor Ben gazing into his cereal bowl of Alpha Bits at breakfast.

Trump will certainly win because everybody else will be having a nervous breakdown. Too bad they didn't get the memo to read the book, THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING. Trump not only read it, he is using the rules in the book to win an election. It pays to read.

I used to look up to Ben Carson when I was a little girl dreaming of going to medical school and becoming a doctor..

No more..

He has, arguably, ruined his legacy.

I've lost all respect for him.

I hope that he will bow out of commenting further and retire in silence.

Your thinking is what I am thinking about. Why would that happen when he is so much smarter than she is? I have more faith in the American people. Every issue she is talking about has been an issue since the 60's and should not be issues anymore. She is creating fake issues so she can tell us how she will fix them when the glaring issue is an unsafe country because this administration has ignored our laws instead of enforced our laws. Trump is so popular with intelligent people because he knows how to listen. American people do not want foreign born criminals let loose in our country to kill again. You have to admit and realize what the problem is before you can fix the problem. Go Trump!

Sadly, I think the sign Carson got was the $$$$ sign.

Jimmy Carter is cancer free. He stated a lot of people must have prayed for him.

Jimmy was the first Presidential nominee I remember who stressed his religious faith.

I fear those with an irrational faith in government.

Not one of the most popular presidents, either.
