He's an odd man. I can't figure him out… I think he's one of those super intelligent people but it's limited to medicine.

He actually said he felt he should turn it down because he has no government experience.

Re: Ben Carson

It's super odd because a) he ran for president and b) the president elect has no government experience.

Either way, when Ben Carson is making the most sense you know we're in trouble.

I knew he wouldn't be the nominee, but what was wrong with Carson?

I found many of the things he said nonsensical and a bit "out there", and he seemed (as he has now admitted to) to not have much of a grasp for what government actually does. I'm sure (or, well I'm not sure but I imagine) he's a great doctor. But I think his expertise ends there.

For me - he doesn't believe a Muslim should be in a position of power in the government, believing being gay is a choice, his pyramid beliefs, thinking the Jewish could have overcome Hitler if they had guns. The things he has said about transgender bathrooms...

Maybe some people agree with those things but he doesn't hold my values.

About the great doctor thing:

A friend of mine posted an article about Ben Carson and said that she had respect for him as a neurosurgeon. A friend of hers responded to it saying that she worked with him and that he was awful and that no one should be impressed by him. So there's that interesting tidbit lol.

He IS bizarre! He literally couldn't find his way onto a stage for a debate and walked away from an interviewer because he didn't know where his luggage was. So, thankfully he knows he isn't qualified.

Apparently he was being considered for Education Secretary? As an educator, I think we dodged a bullet...

Just a disclaimer, this is SATIRE people. Not meant to be taken literally. But I chuckled.

Ben Carson has no recollection of running for president.
