        a position for which he is blatantly unqualified. Trump heard "urban" and Carson is the only non white person he knows.

        Trump vetting process for HUD: Housing? Check, owns a house. Urban development? Check, raised in Detroit. Clearly qualified!

        Carson likely assumes all poor people R as good as he was at school. He thinks programs to help poor are harmful. He'll be disaster

        Trump hire a 100% unqualified @RealBenCarson for HUD Sec? Same reason nobody wants @SecretaryCastro performing brain surgery.

        Carson might turn to be a disaster. Was a terrible candidate - as boring and uninspiring as they get.

        His qualification, apparently, is that he once lived in public housing. By this logic, I get to be a major league pitcher!
