How desperate and low can we go to even CONSiIDER electing Carson with a violent past to be POTUS?

I can see giving a guy with a violent past a chance at having a job without too much pressure involved in it, but would you really want a guy like this with his hands on the nuclear football as he "bristles" at some perceived bad treatment by the head of some foreign government? I mean, really...he once had a problem with impulse control and now we're supposed to believe that he is 100% cured? The unconscious mind can cause all kinds of manic reactions when a person with a violent past is subjected to the inordinately taxing pressures of the presidency.

Of course the fact that 90% of what he says is bullshit ought to be enough to disqualify him, but I think he's trying to carefully craft an image of himself as a badass who won't let putin push him around like Obama does.
