Ben Carson is half as qualified to be president as W was.

(115,280 posts)how government works. He's a brain surgeon, after all; this makes him somewhat like God, so what can possibly be so difficult about managing government? W relied on Cheney because he either knew he didn't know diddly squat about government, or he was too lazy to bother with it. Carson doesn't know he needs a Talleyrand, but maybe Evil Dick will persuade him that he does...

But you need not worry.
Carson will not be the nominee.
We are watching the typical farce race of the republican asshat clowns. By Super Tuesday, one of the Republican elites will emerge. I think it will be Marco Rubio.

(36,063 posts)Is there any real sign of Williams being capable of controlling power from behind the throne as was Cheney?
I don't mean to say it's not possible, but I suspect a Cheney type would likely have a career rather more linked to gov't bureaucracy
