I'm not questioning his ability in his field of choice, doesn't mean he doesn't sound stupid commenting on things outside his field. Or perhaps you can explain just HOW the ACA was worse for this country than bloody, wasteful wars of choice or the 9/11 attacks for example? Or HOW so many archaeologists can be wrong about the purpose of the pyramids for that matter?

They leave the plantation and run smack dab into the hands of the Paddy Rollers!

Ok there's been 3 comments here pointing out the fact that he's a neurosurgeon.

Being smart and being ignorant are not mutually exclusive. For example Ben Carson is a brilliant neurosurgeon, but completely clueless with regard to political affairs.

It's also possible to be smart but believe in very stupid things.

Just sayin'..being smart doesn't mean you're not ignorant w/ regard to a particular subject or set of subjects.

Conservatism went down-market in search of revenue. It got swallowed by its own anti-intellectual media-politico complex — from Beck to Palin to Trump.

Isn't it interesting that the only qualification Trump supporters say Dr. Carson has is his intelligence?

If no skills Obama can be President, Skilled Surgeon Carson can be anything he wants.

She seemed pretty ignorant to me.

Is that the same lady who tripped getting in the airplane and had a permanent smirk on her face when she thought Donald was going down? Oh, I think I remember her... the lady with the dull, lifeless hair, skin drained of color and holding back tears because she was not elected?


You mean this lady who tripped?

I wondered at HUD too but didn't he start out in absolute poverty etc? Think he came from poverty hunger to all his accomplishments so maybe he has something to offer to those young ones growing up in the same situation. Maybe he is a great manager, executive, etc. we don't know.

therefore I wouldn't embarrass myself by calling him ignorant. He is not a seasoned politician but I don't think that makes him ignorant

If he is capable of becoming a neurosurgeon, then has the fortitude to be a secretary of HUD... I think it is racist of liberals to assume a black man can't do it, especially one that is also a NEUROSURGEON... you liberals are the biggest racist and I can't believe your followers are so blind... Merry Christmas...
