Donald Trump: Come Kiss the Ring

A senator.

 

How was he a celebrity?

 

He's a blowhard and a camera whore. Of course he does interviews every day. But he has no strategic platforms.

 

How was he a substantive candidate?

 

He was known for a speech, an autobiography, and being African-American.

 

So is Ben Carson, except for the speech part. Does that make Carson a celebrity?

 

And he was a senator.

 

When he announced for President, what were his Senatorial accomplishments?

 

One particular speech is a big part of Ben Carson's appeal. It's what put him on the map with Christian Conservative voters.

 

OK, so he has the speech, an autobiography and is African-American. That makes him a celebrity in your book?

 

Co-sponsored the Coburn-Obama Transparency Act, which provides a website listing all organizations receiving federal funds.

Primary sponsor of the Democratic Republic of the Congo Relief, Security, and Democracy Promotion Act, which Bush signed into law.

There's two.

 

Like Obama at the same time in the '08 cycle, he has no credentials that would appear Presidential.

His celebrity is why people are paying attention to him.

Kind of funny you didn't know about the speech. Did you look it up, or are you still flying blind?
