1. Carson will be on the ticket and he could be on the top. I've been saying it for months. nt

2. Do you think he would be a tougher opponent than Trump?

using your prognostication skills

3. Yes. Because his affect is so much less offensive and he is also seen as an outsider

who is above political things.

People here read his positions and think he's far right and crazy. But that's just from our perspective. The same country that elected jovial Ronald Reagan could easily elect soft-spoken, self-deprecating neurosurgeon Ben Carson.

Imagine firebrand Bernie debating Ben. I hope it doesn't ever happen because I think Carson would win. Too many voters vote with their guts rather than with their brains.

4. Sure, just like Herman Cain did

Repukes tell the pollsters they support Carson to prove to them that they aren't racist
