Somebody let Obama know?
I also think that Carson is great and will probably get a good position in the Trump admin, but I don’t think it will be quite VP.
I personally think he will pick Kasich, who can help with his governor’s experience.
Nothing against Carson, but Trump needs a politician for vp. Two outsiders without governing experience will not work in the voting booth.
Interesting point. I think you may be right. Getting a casino license is no small trick. Not sure that can be bought—Hef got turned down in NJ, did he not?
I really, really like Ben Carson, but that pic absolutely gets me laughing sideways! He’s a great guy whom I admire and respect, but there is that kernel of truth in that pic. In fact, now that I remember it, Carson did a cameo in some movie where he basically was that pic.
No way!
Trump may very well win. But he will be a disaster....like most liberals.
Gentle ben brings knives to gun fights. No thanks
Trump has said he’d likely select a politician as VP, someone who would compliment his business experience.
Trump and Perry went at it...would not work. He needs someone conservative, maybe southern, experienced in politics, maybe of color or Hispanic to balance him out.
I know Rick has a following, but I’m not on board.
He lost me at Gardasil.
I like some things Walker did very much. I still am not thrilled with him as it relates to the White House.
Folks see people differently. I appreciate your preference.
It would be nice to see someone who has been in the military like
Allen West as VP.
Works for me
Trump/Carson 2016 ?????
Thanks, but no thanks. A person is judged by the company he keeps.

The job of VP is a particularly political one. It needs a politician to fill it & serve the President well. Trump needs a politician in his administration, but one without any power.
Carson is not a politician, he is a technocrat. He would be a good Surgeon General or as head of the VA, but he would be a poor VP.
Cruz, a politician & brilliant lawyer, would be an excellent VP.
Would you? He must be enjoying his retirement. I guess he could enjoy it sitting around waiting for someone’s funeral to attend.
I think Carson is probably a decent fellow. Certainly an accomplished man, learned, etc. Saw the light about things, for sure.
He’d make a fine Surgeon General.
But the snakes in the Senate would have him for breakfast, so VP is not an option for sure.
