    Carson is like Flacco in the playoffs. Even with the whole world hating on him and doubting him, he's going to step up and get done on the big stage.
    Or Donald in the 2016 election.

    It's funny to watch people try to tear down an elite neurosurgeon. "Oh he had mismatch socks one day!
    Or he tried to stab his mother. No it was a friend. His mother spilled it I think.

    Was that Ted or Donald who grabbed onto that and the belt buckle? Can't remember.

    Carson: I thought about bad things as a child: actually attacked my friend. As an adult I have saved many lives.

    Hillary: I got people killed in Benghazi as an adult, as I child I was named after Sir Edmund Hillary years before he was known, and my middle name is "Sniper dodger".

    Intelligence and lack of political ambition. What made Castro qualified? And don't say being Mayor...we have a City Manager that actually runs things...
    Castro was overwhelming confirmed by the senate with bipartisan support. I'd say that makes him qualified.

    So which Republican pounced on the elite neurosurgeon trying to stab a friend? Donald or Ted. I know when I'm angry, I'll pull a kitchen knife on a neighbor just reflexively.

    All is fair in love and war. It's not like Carson destroyed 30K emails after being subpoenaed.

    So being selected makes him qualified.

    Apparently you don't know the difference between being nominated and being confirmed. To be confirmed overwhelmingly by a republican controlled Senate as an Obama nominee pretty much means the senate found you qualified for the job.

    Considering you showed up in this Forum within the last few weeks, I don't know how much you know about the ins and outs of senate confirmations, but if an Obama nominee got confirmed, they were thoroughly vetted and likely qualified.

    So you're saying that you trust he was qualified because of the vetting process, but you instead said that the confirmation makes him qualified. Confirmation and even vetting aren't qualifications.

    So often when you can't phrase your thoughts properly the person on the other side must lack understanding of the subject. That's a nice little mental insulation method you have going on there.

    i've never touted or celebrated castro's amazing qualifications. he had been the mayor of a major city and did oversee community investment and housing projects. it's certainly a lot more than carson has ever done

    no it's not like that.
    The doctor just got mad and tried to stab his friend.
    It was just a harbinger of things to come as an elite neurosurgeon. Eventually he cut to save lives.
    We all have done these things as youngsters... tried to kill our friend.

    But we had mommy to admonish us and tell us how wrong it is because it's not good to kill.

    Confirmation implies a vetting process. I didn't say he was qualified for being nominated as you suggested. He was confirmed overwhelmingly by republicans and democrats. That speaks to his qualification for the post.

    I'm sorry if that wasn't clear ham hands. I should not assume people have the ability to infer.

    I am inferring you are stupid and meant exactly what you said until you got called on it. Bet you voted for Hillary.

    Appeal to popularity is a logical fallacy.

    Hillary cost herself the White House.

    I simply cannot believe anyone actually respects her. They must be absolute idiots!

    As much as people want to say Hillary cost herself the White House, Trump won more than she lost. Even despite how hated she is, she would have blown out any other Republican. There's no chance in that Rubio, Jeb, Kasich or even Cruz would have motivated the base or flipped the Rust Belt like Trump did. It would have been Obama/Romney II in the best case scenario for Republicans.

    Yeah, I won't be too sure...Hillary was a flawed candidate, some Progressives were having this same debate during the Democratic Primary...when it came to choosing between Sanders and Clinton....This is why many 'liberals' stayed home...the Democratic Party is at a philosophical point, does it continue the Globalist/Pro-DNC/Pro-Trade/Corporatist/Pro War/Anti-union path its been on since Clinton, or does it go back to its grass roots ...Pride in our country..you know there is a difference between having pride in one's country, and/or what's made here, that not nationalism....whichever party can tap into those feelings best....wins....

    There is no appeal to popularity. Castro being confirmed overwhelmingly and in a bipartisan fashion speaks to his qualification for the office.

    Sure there is. Saying x number of people feel that way is appeal to popularity. If you say those people are more qualified to feel that way, that's appeal to authority. All this "evidence" and not once do you actually discuss his qualifications.

    And "speaks to" is a goalpost move. You originally said it "makes him qualified". What makes a person qualified are their experiences, their resume, not their approval ratings.
