What will happen to the Black Vote in 2016 if Dr. Ben Carson declares?

Question

Please keep your answers civil because this is an honest, civil question, not a rant or a rhetorical question.  Dr. Ben Carson, who is Black, may become a Republican candidate for President.  (So far I really like what he says and I think he is the smartest person in any room.)  How do you think the Black vote would split if he ran against Hilary Clinton or Elizabeth Warren?

You know would be weird if after 8 years of Carson, black peoples lives improved significantly better than they did under Obama.

Wouldn't that be the end of liberalism and big government.

He will be rejected by the black community. He's a Republican who supports the Republican platform. A platform that dehumanizes minorities, women and gays. It's an interesting question because the Right complains that blacks only voted for Obama because he is black. Truth is the bulk always vote Democratic. What would happen to their theory if Dr. Carson did run and the black community turned to Hillary? That is what would happen, no doubt.

Black people will vote Democratic as they have for decades, and until 2008, it was always for a white man.

Probably not much. Just because paid liars have TOLD you people only voted for Obama because of his race, doesn't make it TRUE.

The FACT is that hardly anyone (including most GOP voters) agree with the wing-nuts; that's why they get fewer votes than Dems.

Carson is just another lying, bat-sh*t crazy, wing-nut moron. His "race" has nothing to do with anything.

Most Americans don't want to see our lives destroyed by more reign by wing-nuts.

Democrats would drum Dr. Carson off the ticket before he ever got on. 
They could not take a chance of a black person winning on the Republican ticket.

The same as happens when any Black expresses Conservative views, he will ostracized by the Black community, he will be labeled a "race traitor" an Uncle Tom and a token and every effort will be made to find something to destroy him.

We have no idea. Other black conservatives have ran and failed. Black people tend to vote democrat no matter who is running.
