Carson: 'We’re only looking at four years’ if Trump’s a bust
The Hill ^ | 3-14-2016 | Mark Hensch

Posted on 03/14/2016 9:24:37 PM PDT by Citizen Zed

“The way I look at it, even if Donald Trump turns out not to be such a great president – which I don’t think is the case, I think he’s going to surround himself with really good people – but even if he didn’t, we’re only looking at four years,” the former GOP presidential candidate said on Newsmax TV’s “The Steve Malzberg Show." "[That’s] opposed to multiple generations and perhaps the loss of the American dream forever.”

“If we go to a system where we have a brokered convention or something that thwarts the will of the people, the Republican Party will be so fractured that there is no way, I don’t care who you put in there, that we’re going to win,” he said of the GOP presidential convention in Cleveland in July. "Not only are we not going to win the presidency, but we’re probably going to lose the Senate.

“Now we’re going to have a situation where the progressives get two to four more Supreme Courts and we will have lost big time,” the retired neurosurgeon added. "The reason that I’m choosing Trump is that I’m a big picture guy. I recognize that he’s bringing in a lot of people who were not interested in coming in before.”

They’ll probably hang around like me just to watch you guys bend and contort until you finally realize that you missed a superb opportunity to elect a true conservative.

You’ll never admit it though. Just like the Obama supporters you’ll deflect the blame and say he was great but he could never do what he really wanted to do.

I know I’ll be here to say “I told you.”.

Personally, I would take honor and pride in helping to build it.

Nothing says true conservative like siding with Hillary Clinton and Obama on the BLM/MoveOn.org.

/Yawn. You know that isn’t what happened. Keep telling yourself that everyone will believe it. It may soothe the pain if trump actually becomes the nominee.

No, it should be GOOD ADVICE TO TRUMP SUPPORTERS. Think long and hard: Do WE really want a presidential election between two long-time liberals from NY?

Ben Carson and the power of positive thinking...get that man on the stump!

Sheesh, what a dope. Perhaps Trump should just put him in charge of putting U.S. grain harvests into pyramids.

If he’s a bust, he appoints 3 liberal justices and we are finished for... A very long time.

I know. We are so used to the Hillary-speak, now prevalent among the GOPE candidates. Kasich is more human sounding of the second tier field, but still as Hillary-cloned as they come.

Just be happy she is bathing and shampooing again for her campaign.

The daily hygiene ends when the campaign ends.

Joan Rivers was a good friend of Trump’s.

She taught him a lot about how to gather up and use comedic material.

So sad she is not around to enjoy this!

She’d be the opening act at Trump rallies.... 20 minutes of Joan and then Trump comes out....outstanding :-)

Trump/Rickles wouldn’t work because Rickles takes over anything he is involved in..lol He’s an uncontrollable force of nature.

Trump/Miller would actually be a workable combination.

As much as I liked the admiral he really had no business running as VP. And Perot, an egotistical, opinionated, private businessman that was going to fix it all and was right about NAFTA. Sounds like?

For 10 points who was the last president we had that was going to bring all his private business and industry knowledge to Washington to fix the country?
