Ben Carson will declare his presidential candidacy in Detroit next Monday. Not a minute too soon.
The retired neurosurgeon and conservative star formed a presidential exploratory committee on March 3. Since then, he's been traveling around the country in what might be called a non-strategic way — making paid speeches that he had longstanding commitments to give, appearing at events for his Carson Scholars Fund (which awards money to promising students around the country) and, in other ways, not directing any particular focus on the key early states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada.
At the same time, Carson has been absent from some important party gatherings. For example, Carson did not attend the GOP summit in New Hampshire a couple of weeks ago that featured a huge field — almost every serious (and non-serious) 2016 candidate. Nor did Carson go to Iowa last weekend for a big social conservative gathering that showcased a large number of hopefuls.

Ali called it the stick and jab (or something like that).It's when a person is an opportunist and capitalizes on the mistakes of others.That approach shows very little initiative.
ben carson is probably the most intelligent of the white house contenders but because of what he wants to change within the welfare systemm,the democrats will bus the unemployed and the people on welfare to the polls to defeat him
