While many people have feared what might become of the republic should the Trumpenproletariat somehow foist the Donald on the country. And while a Trump regency would be frightening and chaotic, the prospect of Carson scares me even more.
He is so basically ignorant of how government works that he has taken the idea of "outside" and turned it into a parody of itself - a parody that just isn't funny. Like the last Leslie Nielsen movies.
Most people who run as outsiders were at least governors. Maybe a general. But they had some idea how government works - the basic processes.
Carson seems to have no fundamental idea how any of these things work. Perhaps this is all simply another expression of the Palin Principle: that there is money to be made in shaking the angry rubes of the GOP electorate. Maybe Carson is simply engaged in padding his own nest with the dollars of Talibangelicals.
But if the GOP nominates this guy.....
