Is Cruz going to be the GOP nominee like you promised?

I find this Carsom-Trump connection or association very weird. If anyone thinks that Ben Carson is somehow privy to this information... “naive” would be the word I would use. It’s not even imaginable. Arguably, he is revealing himself as not trustworthy if he is somehow letting this out and he’s not doing himself any favors. Trump....needs Ben Carson to release or hint at this information....? Really?

If he’d like to be Surgeon Gen’l, I would support that, I think he’d be great, I imagine (but have no way of knowing whether) Trump would nominate him.

If so, he should just shut up and disappear from the scene for a few months.

Just not sure what to make of Dr. Carson’s occasional pronouncements.

The media is beating this one to death!!!

So, let's see.

Christie -- first to cross over and support Trump publicly.

Palin -- former VP nominee, openly and actively supported Trump

Kasich -- former Presidential candidate, holds a number of delegates including a win in Ohio.

Rubio -- former Presidential candidate, holds a number of delegates

Cruz -- former Presidential candidate, holds a number of delegates, including a win in Texas (among others)

Translation: OF COURSE, they would be on "the list" of potential VP's. It doesn't mean they're the ONLY names on the list. It doesn't mean they're on the short list. It doesn't mean that Trump is seriously considering them. They've got to be included in the process, if for no other reason than political courtesy.

I just think it is a bunch of head fakes to keep Trump in the news cycles. GO TRUMP GO

I saw Carson on TV last nigbt. It must have been Hannity.

Carson said this was another example of the press misrepresenting the facts.

The dishonest reporter suggested some names and Carson did not reject them. Hence, the reporter presented a list. The dishonest press strikes again.

I’m not saying they are my choices but I think it’s going to be Kasich (most likely) or Rubio.

Stupidly. Press ginned up this story. Carson never revealed names. Whole story is a scam.

Former Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson inadvertently . . .

I don't believe it was inadvertent. It looked more like a trial balloon: name some names, and see how people react. Deniability makes it harmless and allows Trump to collect information on what people want to see.

Purposeful leak to gauge the reaction to the names as he vets out his short list - he’s more astute than many give him credit for - he wants a winning ticket.
