Ben & Candy Carson
@RealBenCarson

I’m looking forward to being in my hometown this weekend with my friend and our next President, @realDonaldTrump .
It’s hard to believe this photo was taken outside my childhood home nearly 8 years ago.
The battle to save our country continues, and we will prevail. @TeamTrump

As much as I loved Eddie’s guitar playing, I’m opting for some smooth jazz....

True, we got solid SCOTUS picks and abortion overturned, a cranking economy, and no wars.

Plus a border under control, and the uncovering of just how bad and corrupt the deep state was.

That's as good as Reagan. In one term. Be happy we had him, work and pray so we get him again. No prevaricating about negatives, he was simply great.

Sigh. No one loves Dr Carson more than I, but he’ll be 73 in September. Is there really no one younger who could be an heir apparent to potentially be POTUS for two terms and avoid a primary slugfest in ‘28?

Carson would get rolled more than even Mike Pence. Give me someone who is sure to carry on with the MAGA agenda, not someone who wants to mollify and make everyone happy, which I think that Carson would totally try to do. Because that will never happen anyway.

He’s the only non swamp thing I’ve seen under consideration so far.

Trump is Diamond Dave. Bidet is Cherone. DeSantis is Sammy.

Let’s see. Bill Clinton is Elmer Gantry/Jimmy Swaggert. Barak Obama is the reverend LeeRoy. John Kerry is Lurch and Biden is Floyd R. Turbo.

Trump? Think Harry Callahan.

they’re assuming the vp pick will be the ‘28 nominee carrying on MAGA.

Which is a valid concern, but I don’t think DJT can pick anyone as vp who will be able to be the next MAGA leader/canidate.

Only four sitting vice presidents have been elected president and just one in the modern era - Bush 41.

Two former vice presidents have won the presidency, Richard Nixon in 1968 and Joe Biden in 2020.

So it's a waste of time to "groom" the VP to become president.

Yes... the focus should be on someone who is capable of taking over the job. The fourth, Adams would be saddened by your omission.

I still can’t figure out the perfect VP pick for President Trump.

However, based on Dr. Carson call for a National Abortion Ban taken from his book, I unfortunately believe he’d be politically crucified, especially pitted against Camel-Toe.

In a split with Trump, Ben Carson calls for a national abortion ban

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/ben-carson-national-abortion-ban-trump-rcna152106

Ben Carson, who is often talked about as a potential running mate for Donald Trump, is out with a new book in which he calls for a federal ban on abortion — a notable difference from the former president.

“What is needed is legislation that guarantees the right to life for all American citizens, including those still in the womb,” Carson — a noted pediatric neurosurgeon who was the Trump administration’s secretary of housing and urban development — writes in “The Perilous Fight,” which was released Tuesday. “Therefore, we must be boldly vocal about saving our fellow human beings through the legislative process. They are counting on us!”

Adams was elected in 1796!

I like Ben Carson a lot but we need somebody to carry the MAGA torch in 2028. I don't see Ben as being the one.

I'm hoping for an out of the box Tucker Carlson type of pick for VP.

Ben can certainly play an important role but not as the torch bearer going forward.

Clinton was Springsteen, faker to the masses.

Obama wishes he was James Brown but he was Whitney Houston.

Kerry will ALWAYS be Lurch.

Floyd R Turbo - now THAT is great.

That’s not fair to Cherone, he was just fine in Extreme.

Every time I see that face, I think of the 1972 song “Backstabbers.”
