That would be a good job for him. We citizens would be lucky to get a real qualified HHS MD or as surgeon general.
Thinks we should have “negotiated with moderate Arab allies” for hand-over of Bin Laden.
Weak, unrealistic, world view. Non starter.
Carson is a tool of Rove.
The Donald is not and never was a “conservative” in the sense of the term well understood by most of the regular participants of Free Republic.
What he is (and this is perhaps his strongest virtue), is an excellent salesman and negotiator. The Donald does it just for the sport of the game, and if also incidentally he takes a nice profit out of it, that is just gravy on top of the meat and potatoes.
And the pursuit of the Presidency is probably one of the biggest deals The Donald has ever engaged in, with stakes higher than anything else in the world.
The Donald used to own casinos, you know that? And when it ceased to be a profitable operation, it got axed. No hesitation, no mercy.
LOL, I saw my first 2016 sticker today. It was "Bernie 2016".
We have no earthly idea whether Ben Carson has that skill set or not, but there is nothing in his professional or personal background to say he does.
RE: Carson is a tool of Rove.
How do you know that?
I’m not voting for a lying liberal piece of garbage like Trump to make you or your democrat friends happy.
Period.

“I couldn’t care less what the democrats would be willing to vote for. That the standard “moderate” bottom feeder strategy.”
I get it. You have your principles. If a Republican can win by gaining votes of some Democrats and moderates, you have a problem with that.
look up “operation mockingbird”
Rove plans on using Carson and Fiorina as firewalls to help jbush or as an alternative Rubio as backup.
He is looking at this new race as three clusters. Trump/angry voter, gope approved, and bottom feeders.
I want him to be the Republican choice. Will the media obsess over him and talk about the “first completely Black president”? (0bammy is half black).
I’m sure he’s a good buy on a personal level.
But he’s also bad on guns and bad on immigration, and at least questionable on abortion.
It’s hard to ask why Trump is getting traction in the primary, even though he’s not really conservative, without also asking the same question about Carson.
“Trump inherited millions from his father. “
And turned it into a worldwide empire of billions.
Most kids who are born on second base, squander the opportunity. He grew it into something bigger.
“Johns Hopkins ain’t no SMALL practice. It happens to be a world renowned teaching hospital in Baltimore MD.”
Great hospital.
I don’t think he ran Johns Hopkins hospital though.
“A small practice?”
Yet you didn’t detail any of his actual practice - number of employees, etc.
The rest is admirable and I admire his accomplishments. That is different than saying he is prepared to run one of the worlds largest countries.
Political reality in the hard, cold big leagues mandates a veep candidate bringing with him/her three things....a large, dependable bloc-following (hispanics, evangelicals, whatever), big-bucks donors, and a substantial, dependable electoral college vote in the general election (for example, a veep candidate from Texas or California will score more heavily in the selection process than one from Rhode Island).
Gentle Ben flunks in all aspects, so does Fiorina along with most other names being tossed around in the wind as a vice-presidential selection.
My reasoned guess is that Trump would select none of the above and his running mate would be someone we haven't even thought of and whom we would like VERY much.

For the umpteenth time! Obama’s lack of “executive experience” has nothing to do with the horrible president he is/has been. It’s all about his ideology! ...and NOT lack of experience! He could have 20 years of “executive experience,” and it wouldn’t change one iota of the man’s ideology-driven agenda!
“He’s on the Kellogg board”
Yes. Paid to serve. Great.
Is he there as a figurehead, or are they launching a medical cereal?
Registered Repub since first registration, my family voted Goldwater over Kennedy..
Family is Republican and conservative back to before this was a country, 1640’s to be precise.
So please check your tongue before you make unfounded accusations. History, especially US is my strong suit academically
Semper Fidelis!
