The beginning of your statement is true. We have no idea how Ben would be as a president, however. I think he would do a better job than Trump, by the mere fact that he has patience and the ability to listen to people; among other things. Trump is far too impulsive and explosive.That's the problem with a lot of people in our society - they think that someone's degree or what they do for a living automatically qualifies them as a genius. Just because they're good at one field doesn't mean that they aren't complete idiots in others. Ben Carson is a good example of this.
Being a neurosurgeon, however, would have to mean that one is well read. That certainly doesn't hurt. Wouldn't you have more faith in one's ability to do a job (especially one of this magnitude) based on their level of intelligence vs. someone that lacks articulation? Being a surgeon would also mean that Carson would have to be able to think well on his feet and act swiftly and carefully in matters of emergency. Those are useful skills to have. Anyway, he won't be winning the nomination.
