Dr Ben and Trump have been friends for decades. Job isn’t going to get him on his side.

I agree, but he doesn't need him on his side to promote him and pump him up behind the scenes.

I do think they are trying to sell Carson as the nicer alternative to Trump (i.e. Trump without the negatives), then if they can take Trump out, they go after Carson to take him out next.
