* I could ignore or write off Ben Carson\u2019s other mistakes but being pro-Puerto Rican statehood is really bad. He\u2019s still better than \u00a1Yeb!\u2026.but what a sap. He does not realize that statehood automatically gives the Dems two more US Senators and (guessing) five more Representatives. He probably does not care. Great neuro-surgeon but he has not applied himself to learning some practical politics. He thinks religion and morality are enough. Actually they were in Iowa and got him lots of evangelical support there for their early primary.
\nThe man is untutored and would be a disaster as President.
\nIn contrast, Donald Trump was a very quick study on H1Bs putting Americans out of jobs and corrected his position a few weeks ago. Trump is the most patriotic, economic nationalist candidate with Ted Cruz number two.
\nI hear Carson is for Amnesty? I do know he approves of the recent TPP trade deal Obama rammed through. Another in a long line of despicable trade deals. Find me a \u201cfree\u201d trade deal that has not lead to higher US trade deficits. We never get them because we have stupid people and traitors negotiating them.
