Is Ben Carson a possibility for Trump’s VO?

Posted on 11/30/2023 6:49:57 AM PST by Billie Bud

Read it on X/Twitter from a source called George? Anyhoo it reads like sources close to President Trump say he is considering Dr. Carson very strongly for VP.

Is this just a rumor or is it likely?

I’ve always liked Ben Carson.

Or those Motorola landscape sliders. My niece wore the labels off the keys on one of those.

Dr. Carson would be an EXCELLENT choice for VP!! I would still love to see Tucker just for the sake of the utter MELTDOWNS that would occur, OMG it would be absolutely delicious!!!

I think he’ll pick some female the left purely hates. One that’s very mouthy and stands up for true American values. Maybe Kari Lake or MTG might work. Both of these women have something Harris doesn’t, which is brains. I think American women would readily see the difference and be willing to vote for one of them.

Kristi Noem is great, but she does not have the internal fortitude for 24/7 hostilities towards her.

As far as Carson goes, his personality is too smooth, he’s too polite.

I think this would be a mistake. It has to be a female in order for the mom vote to go his way. Otherwise we will see a repeat of 2020.

Carson would be great. But he would immediately get the Clarence Thomas treatment by the racist democRats.

Hate the keyboard on my iPhone
One real nice feature of the iPhone keypad, is, if you hold the space bar, you can move the cursor anywhere. Great for editing, instead of having to retype the whole word.

He’s a nice guy, but no! He’s too nice. Tucker would be a better choice.

Ben Carson is a good guy but he would not win the POTUS job in 2028.

President Trump needs to pick a strong leader that will carry on his work, be loyal and win in 2028.

Since there are no strong and loyal leaders in the Senate or the House, someone like Kari Lake would be a good candidate.

I doubt it.

I like Dr. Carson, but he doesn't add to the swing state variable.

Ben Carson would have been a great president, but the problem is he’s just too relaxed. Donald Trump was a fighter, and he wasn’t afraid to strike back at the leftist bullies.

A president and vice president both over age 70 would seem very unlikely.

Carson will be 73 at the 2024 election.

Exactly! Too mild-mannered, too soft-spoken. We need someone as tough and good as Trump, or as close as we can get, to take over after Trump serves four years. Otherwise, the next President will just undo everything Trump did, like Biden did.

I am a yuge Ben Carson admirer, but he lacks killer instinct. And that’s what’s needed this time around.

My assumption is it will be the woman who was cheated out of the governor office in AZ, whose name is blanking on me due to lack of coffee.

She’s more than able on her feet.
