But will either of them help Trump in picking up independents, or even some of the very moderate Democrats (if there is such a thing)? Not likely.
We are going to need someone who can attract people other than just Republicans. Carson was mentioned, and I have a lot of respect for him and his accomplishments. But I think he's just too much of a professional and a gentleman. And again, I think he'd help Trump attract voters outside of the normal Republican base. Would love to see him in a cabinet position though...perhaps Surgeon General?
Good points.......a VP nominee should bring an addition to the candidate’s existing voting strength.
