Carson Victory Path Cut Off

Dr. Benjamin Carson, after quite an effort, has recognized there is no path to victory for him in the rub for the 2016 GOP nomination.

Carson's run was not a defeat for him, or true Americans who recognize him and his accomplishments.  Not those in his professional and personal life, which are extensive and heralded.

While his campaign had successes, there were more hiccups. But through it all, Carson exhibited a calm demeanor with class and humor.

Could someone insult me? Carson quipped during the last debate, as he found himself absent from the dialogue.  Carson has several of those moments along the campaign.

This man can help America in a multitude of ways beyond the significant contributions he has already made.

If Dr. Carson is willing, it is my hope whoever wins the nomination will find a meaningful position for Dr. Carson. Not for political purposes, but to use his wonderful skills to benefit our nation.

Surgeon General? If we are going to have Health and Human Services, pick Carson to run it. The VA? I have no doubt Carson would get things right for our beloved veterans. I would not rule of VP for that matter.

Or maybe, as has been floated today, Carson could attempt to win Marco Rubio's departed senate seat here in Florida.  While we have some solid candidates already in the field, as a voter in the Sunshine State, I would welcome Carson entering the race.

Carson is a great man, and although he has suspended his campaign for the GOP nomination for president, I hope Carson does not exit the political stage, as he is an individual we could all benefit greatly from having his participation and leadership.
