Sleepy? Perhaps. Uninformed? No question. But weak? Absolutely not.

This just in: Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson says he's not "weak." Good to know.

“You know, I am realistic to understand that that’s the reason that my poll numbers have taken a dip,” said Carson, whose numbers have plummeted from 18 percent to 9 percent in the latest Fox News survey. “Because people think that I’m a nice guy. I am a nice guy, but that doesn’t mean that you’re not tough. It doesn’t mean that you don’t have strength.”

Would a weak person try to stab a child so hard that the knife broke? No. No they would not. Carson 2016.

“I have not one, not two, not five, but 67 honorary doctorates,” Carson said. “Now I suspect if you took everybody else who’s running and added up all their honorary degrees it would not come close to that. People do not look for weak people in order to give a representation of their university.” The Library of Congress on its 200th anniversary selected 89 living legends. “I was one of them,” Carson added. “Again, they don’t go around looking for weak people to be a living legend.”

This would be a good campaign ad. Ben Carson, looking into the camera, explaining all the things that make him not weak. That'd get his campaign back on track.
