Contender for the throne
 
Well US president. Ben Carson may run, "if the Lord asks him" for President.
He's obviously and intelligent man as he is a neurosurgeon but how can he be so stupid?

A quote

“America is about free enterprise. It is about entrepreneurship. And recognize that this country has had the biggest impact of any country ever in the history of the world.... People did things the same way for 100 years, 1000 years, 5,000 years before America came on the scene. Within 200 years of America, people were walking on the moon because we created an atmosphere of entrepreneurship, hard work, innovation. Now we're in the process of trying to be like everybody else and destroying that."
~ Dr. Ben Carson

Not to mention not believing in evolution, saying that Obamacare was "the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery." Oh and it was all Lenin's fault.

He's good looking, charismatic, a god-botherer. He'll get elected.

The Americans still think their "system" and the consequences of such a system are the ideal. They think when people are negative about the US, they're jealous, when really we just feel a bit sorry for them as its a depressing place.

It really is beyond belief how blinkered some Americans can be. However, the world is a changin' and the rise of a true global competitor in China (an equally arrogant power) will force the Yanks to up their game.

I predict Jeb Bush vs. Hilary Clinton. It will be a nice refreshing change.

To properly educate the part of their population that has been left behind. The part that elect the ignorant politicians to represent them.
