| #7 #4 made me laugh. Yeah, Jeb made it look easy. Carson struck me as one of the more intelligent people in the debates. More than that he was calm and collected. tw, I'm not sure about the ineffectual part. Just because he didn't pound his chest doesn't mean he can't be effective. But it would seem the American electorate wants a certain amount of chest pounding. |

| #6 I've said a number of time she'd make a nice Surgeon General instead of President and Trump fans would jump up and say they wouldn't hire him for dog catcher. Now that he's on Trumps good list we'll see if that was just posturing or what. I felt Christie would make a fine Attorney General and I'd guess that's the deal he cut. |

| #5 Ben Carson is a surgeon and a professor, not a politician. He ran because he thought it was his duty, not because his nature or training in any way prepared him for the jobs of candidate and president. He's a good, highly intelligent, hard working man who would have been an utterly ineffectual president. On a different note, I find the "Herr Drumpf" locution marks a certain lack of cleverness, especially by someone using the randomly generated nym of Fester Untervehr9130. The name the man inherited was "Trump"; as far I'm concerned, that's the end of it. I once had a math teacher with the unobjectionable name of Mr. Huber. His great-grandfather had left Germany with the name Pfaffelhuber, but very reasonably dropped the first half in the boat over as being too difficult for Americans to deal with. Likewise, I know a number of Chinese immigrants and American-born Chinese who have a Chinese name and an English name for the same reason. In America we do not carry the burden of ancient ancestors, but look only at what the individual has done with his life. |

| #3 Should have taken a lesson from Perry. When its over, its over. Toadying is simply disgusting. Its impossible to out-stupid Ben Carson in this campaign cycle. He had so much going for him initially and threw it all away. Welcome to the end your political career, stand over there by Chris Christie, and run along like a good little servant when Herr Drumpf tells you to. |
