Dick Morris: Carson cannot win

He gives a number of reasons, among which is their debating styles.  He says that Hillary would eat him alive.  One reason that he gave was that Carson said that he would not have used force after 911.  Morris claims that comment pretty much disqualifies Carson.

But that is what the leftists proposed back then.  Why would they vote for Hillary?  Are these people really that cynical?  I do not know, but out of dislike, I am tempted to say that they would vote for Hillary no matter what.

However, I agree with Morris that something had to be done militarily.  The question is what and how.

I agree with Carson that an optimal response would include energy independence.  But Morris says that this is being achieved anyway.  Morris is wrong.  Fracking is a good thing, in my opinion.  But it is not immune to market forces.  Saudi Arabia is still the low cost producer.  Fracking does not change that.  Therefore, Carson has to show why he can overcome that advantage.

Morris is unconvincing, but so is everyone else.  Nobody in politics has come up with a solution to the energy problem.
