Ben Carson, a retired neurosurgeon and darling of conservatives announced today that he will be entering the Presidential race on the GOP ticket.He plans to make a formal announcement lmonday in his hometown of Detroit.
He says that he is going to use the "commons sense" platform that is a popular buzz term that the GOP has often used to launch many Draconian budget cuts.
Carson had been a critic everything from health care to foreign policy and offers himself as a counter to African-American liberals.
Carson also was a critic of Freddie Gray protesters decrying the protests as vandalism and "gross misconduct."
This is a interesting twist to the 2016 race worth watching. Many see this as a tactic to recapture some of the black conservative vote back from the Democrats.
