As a young adult raising children I used him as a role model for my children. They understand I was trying to do the right thing by them to encourage them to work hard to succeed in the face of challenges. Thankfully they were raised to THINK for themselves and they see him as a big disappointment also and are ashamed of what he has become. They are all really good Democrats who take no BS from anyone. We don't always agree on the way Democrats approach problems but we agree on the objectives. They are all service-oriented, civics-minded, kind young adults. I am so proud of them but pained by the condition of the country they have to live in.

Carson is a wonderful doctor but that skill does not translate into other areas.
