I don’t think Dr. Carson should be one heartbeat away from the Presidency. Nice guy, great surgeon, not ready for prime time.

I’ve posted it would be a winning ticket because many of the elderly and timid are very comfortable with Ben Carson.

By choosing Carson, Trump would assure that demographic that the image of his ‘bulliness’ would be softened.

The duties of VP are largely ceremonial. Throughout American history, it is very very rare that a VP ascends to the presidency by election.

Carson as VP would be a very good Ambassador of Goodwill.

I would have preferred Cruz as VP but his error in picking scumbags to run his campaign reveal his lack of experience for running large organizations that must respond to situations with speed and alacrity. Instead, he lets others dictate policy. He would be better at replacing Scalia, but I doubt now that Trump will consider it.

Carson may be a great pediatric neurosurgeon....but he has a screw loose somewhere.

ABC....(anybody but Carson for those in Rio Linda)

I’m not seein that combo coming together. It will be a political move to align with the party or win a swing state. Kasich is a better bet for VP. He can help with Ohio and he’s a faithful party foot soldier like Biden.

I’m not pushing Kasich I just think he’s a strong possibility. Also maybe Huck as a longshot.

Carson was encouraged to stay in with the possibility of being VP. He won’t. He was there to split the Christian vote. He has been played. It worked. He should have dropped out a while ago. Might be a great surgeon general though.

Ben Carson was a democrat until he decided to run for president and declared himself a republican. He still is a democrat.

A TRUMP/CARSON ticket would cause me to skip the election.
