Many have scoffed at Dr. Ben Carson's campaign. Some have wondered if he isn't mentally unstable.
But only a few have questioned whether he is actually running for office.
Writing for the
Daily Intelligencer,
Jonathan Chait, may be on to something.
In a recent article, he asks the question:
Is Republican Candidate Ben Carson actually running for office?
Strange question, you might say, but the possible answer might surprise you. Carson's got a plan.
An Ice Cube's Chance in Hell
Let's face the facts about Carson and the GOP. Carson hasn't an ice cube's chance in hell of ever possibly winning his party's nomination.
The Republican Party has, since the days of Nixon, devoted so much energy wooing the Southern bigot vote. Critics of the GOP have long cited racist elements in the party.
So, the very idea that, after eight years of unreasonable obstruction for America's black president, the Republican party would ever in a million years nominate a black candidate is mind-bogglingly ridiculous.
Even the most qualified black candidate would never have a chance.
And Carson is far from being the best qualified.
