"Why the prognosis is dim for Ben Carson's 2016 presidential campaign."
NRO
"How will the fractured GOP find its next standard-bearer without ripping itself apart in the process? Every Republican I speak with is extremely concerned that the party is again heading toward another brutal primary bloodbath in 2016, yielding disastrous results.
"Perhaps the answer is someone like Carson, a well-respected and fresh face who comes to the party from far outside the political arena.
' “The prospective 2016 presidential field looks like it will more open than any contest in memory,” Mark McKinnon, who served as the media strategist for President George W. Bush, tells National Review Online. “The absence of a clear front runner makes it possible for anyone to be ‘in play’ — even Ben Carson.”
"If Carson continues his current surge, widening his national media profile while his draft committee or official PAC rakes in millions, should that negate my concerns raised by the General Eisenhower?
And a more intriguing political question:
"In our modern age, is traditional elected-office experience really necessary to perform the job of president if one is a highly successful professional in a respected field?
"I do not pretend to know the answer, but I do know that all Americans are craving a strong, decisive leader in 2016. If Dr. Ben Carson is that person, let him lead the way.
