No doubt about it Trump needs Dr Ben Carson as his VP

Probably the worst conceivable choice within the Republican Party, both for the presidential race, and for Dr. Carson as a human being.

Post convention, Trump needs to convince voters who're afraid of him now that he's a solid, stable, presidential type. That means his VP has to step up and carry the message. Carson isn't equipped for that, as his lackluster campaign performance shows.

Carson's race will count for nothing. In fact, it will be viewed as negative. He'll be called all manner of vile and disgusting names by the race hustlers in the Democrat Party and painted as an "inauthentic negro." He'll be mocked for his religion, and told he's benefitted from Affirmative Action even if he doesn't admit to it.

After the election, he'll be no assistance whatsoever in helping the new president navigate the byzantine labyrinth of Washington, DC. And if you think Trump can possibly succeed without bringing the apparat to heel, I want some of what you're smoking. Like Bush, like Reagan, the running dogs will do everything they can to sabotage his Presidency. Having a pleasant Veep who doesn't know the Federal scene will not help with that at all.

No. Just plain no.

All Black Republicans are viewed as Uncle Toms by the Black "community", the liberal MSM, and liberals in general.

Trump would actually get more Black votes if his running mate were Eminem.

Carson’s knowledge of how to use a hammer might come in handy
at a Trump rally with violent protesters.

Let’s be honest with ourselves, Carson is slow-minded and weak.

"Dr Carson is the only candidate who has shown the ability to lower the hostility between individuals and with different racial and cultural groups."

That would be a good special project for him as Surgeon General.

I’ll support you here.

Carson is truly an incredible man. I have close knowledge of him. 2 degrees of separation from different directions, if you will.

He has an incredible morality, and equanimity unmatched by anyone. Very much the steadying force behind a “blowhard” like Trump. He is thoughtful and introspective, the other side of successful prosecution of an agenda.

I honestly came to see him as the closest to a Washington we’ve had in a long time.

My God, how incredibly absurd.

Silent = dumb and weak?

May I suggest a mirror. Are WE really that stupid to believe that?

And that’s a bad thing? Why take a chance on an experienced politician being a heartbeat away when you can have them as an advisor.

I disagree.

He is for the cabinet. HHS. Surgeon General.

Um.. no.

Carson has the correct instincts on some issues. On others, he’s a crackpot. Knows nothing of governing.

You should see the movie "Being There" with Peter Sellers.

"Being There: the Ben Carson Story"
