You know, during the debate, I started to feel bad for Ben Carson. I mean he doesn't get nearly the amount of questions that he should, given his polling numbers. But then they ask him something and I think, Maybe they were just being nice NOT calling on him.

For example: on Russia (or maybe on Putin or maybe on ISIS) "Putin is a one horse, uh, country - oil and energy."
.
One feels bad for pointing out that "Putin" is actually not a country at all (although if it were, it should border the river "Ritz" get it?).
.
And, even in his tortured metaphor, oil and energy would actually be two horses. I think he did that memory thing when you hear a name, like Putin, you associate it with a image to remind yourself who he is - and the Putin image is that manly one where he is bare chested on the horse. Although, to Ben's credit - Putin is on only ONE horse.
.
Dr. Ben's closing statement was, to say the least, novel. Rather than give a pitch on why you should vote for him, he decided to recite the Preamble to the Constitution. We all learn this in 4th or 5th grade - and can repeat it back at will with the full understanding and emotion an atheist can recite the Lord's Prayer at a wake. Dr. Carson did bungled it slightly - securing the benefits of liberty rather than the blessings, but that is an okay mistake for a Republican. After reciting that he said, "Folks, it's not too late. Enough said."
.
Maybe he meant we can get back to secure the benefits of liberty if we voted for him, or maybe he meant he still had time to catch Jimmy Fallon - who knows.
.
Enough said indeed.
