Do you agree with most Republican Presidential candidates that Carson can't stand up against Putin, China, and North Korea?

Winning is not the only legitimate reason to run. There are stategic reasons...but also, sometimes you can get the whole field talking about issues you care about, or you can drag the field a little further to the left or the right, or you can run to get the national recognition to lay the groundwork for a more serious run in the future. In Trump's case though, he's not running for any of these reasons.

He seriously just loves the attention.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
