Ben Carson seems to know nothing about the US's allies

[Carla_Danger]

Chris Wallace was hung up on who to call FIRST. Carson did not seem to believe that the order of who to call was of the utmost importance. He certainly could have answered the question better; he could of perhaps named several countries that would be important in such a coalition and then say which one is first doesn't matter, just pick one and get the job done.

Lol if he had a basic understanding of geopolitics, he would know who to pick first. He would know the importance of starting with certain nations over others.

Should he call the Brits before the French or the other way around? How much does it matter? Will the coalition break down if he calls Jordan before Saudi arabia?

Lol it's amazing the lengths you people go to defend republicans. First of all, it's dumb to not pick someone first. Our closest allies, Britain and France, would have been a solid choice to start. Or perhaps pick a country in the Middle East, like you know Israel lol. Not only are they close allies but they have advanced militaries. He could have picked an Arab country nearby and said why that nation would have a strategic advantage.

Even if he didn't believe order mattered, he could have just said "order doesn't matter" but that of course would have been a vague, cop out answer.

Thanks for admitting that there is not a correct answer to the question.

Didn't he just say Britain or France? Why yes, he most certainly did.

That being said, it was a BS question deserving a BS answer, and Carson was caught of guard.

How the hell is it a BS question?

Republican's don't seem to care if their candidate knows anything. It's bizarre.

Lol come on, don't be a stooge. If Hillary was in this interview and not Carson, you would not shut up about it and you know it.

And if it were Hillary, you would be there to defend her. You would probably be using some of the same arguments in using for Carson. Lets hit the reset button on this one.

That is one of Carson's problems with running - he does not think well on his feet. That is, if you ask me, a particular talent that is pointless as president. It is, however, extremely important in campaigning.

I beg to differ, I want the leader of the free world able to think on his feet. Jezus!

Well, which one should be first, Britain or France? Or is it some other country? There can only be one first. Well unless he made it a conference call, lol.

 

[Rotagilla]

Yeah we know that you think that black people are stupid, so tell me how he got to be a neurosurgeon then? Affirmative Action?

Obviously he's intelligent, he is just incompetent. He is, as Bill Maher puts, "a dumb smart person."

I mean come on. The video speaks for itself don't you think?

obama thinks the constitution was written 2000 years ago and that there are 57 states...Those videos speak for themselves too, don't you think? Want me to post them...again?

No. You only see what you want to see. You actually think that someone, anyone, could go through that many years of education and not be able to name an ally? You're fooling only yourself, racist.

Yes I can think of one, Ben Carson Evidently he couldn't think of one..

That's the conclusion that yall are making that I disagree with. I am sure Carson was capable of naming off a long list of allies. However, if you want to believe that, nothing I say will change your mind. Just like those on the right will say that Obama thinks there are 57 states.

Obama isn't running for reelection again even though I wish he could. We're talking about how Carson doesn't know even the basics of what a president needs to know the first day.

That's a stupid comparison. Ben Carson doesn't even know the difference between debt and the deficit.

Sure he is capable of memorizing a list of countries. The point is that he hasn't bothered to even learn who our allies are.
