TRUMP'S VP SELECTION: Please, Let It Be Ben!

AT a recent Town Hall, hosted by Fox, President Trump was asked who would be his Vice President.

He replied, that he already had someone in mind, but would not say at this time.

We've all seen the list, that includes inexplicably people like Nikki Haley, Desantis and Ramaswamy.

Another list has people with some credibility like Tulsi Gabbard, Bryan Donalds and a few others like Rand Paul and even Robert Kennedy Jr.

In my mind, there is only one choice.

PLEASE LET IT BE BEN CARSON.

I can't think anyone better.

Any other name that comes to mind will part of the swamp, not loyal to Trump, incompetent, narcissistic etc.

Ben Carson, along with a hundred other reasons, can change this white supremacy nonsense moniker that they've put on Trump immediately.

He can be a great ambassador for minorities. No one can doubt that.

He can deliver, like he did when President Trump put him in charge of vitalizing the inner cities, as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.

Globally, he'd be great. Can you just imagine?!

Everywhere he'd go people, esp in this hemisphere and Africa will flock to him.

Ben Carson would be the kind of person, every young man and woman regardless of color would aspire to become.

I can think of a thousand other things, but you get my message.

Even the media would embrace him.

In short, Ben Carson would be Trump's Yang.

Powell was an affirmative hire from the git-go. Norman Schwarzkopf was the lead behind Desert Shield/Storm.

Don’t focus on the MAGA angle of this in a VP. The VP has to attract voters who aren’t solid Trump supporters already.

[dfwgator]

The VP’s role in getting votes is vastly overrated.

[Magnum44]

...But to be fair, Powell was 'clean and articulate' like someone else we know

[Arlis]

Have to say I agree.....

[caddie]

Kari Lake or Sarah Huckabee are two persons with balls enough to follow Trump's path of leadership and courage in the face of completely illegitimate and relentless attacks from the left.

Each sees how high the stakes are, each knows the desperate cultural battle we are in.

Likewise Col. West knows the gravity of this battle.

Oh yeah, he has balls, too.

I think he will be 72 in september

[mewzilla]

Even though I don’t support her, Nikki is the logical choice.

Only if you support Deep State.

[Karoo]

He’s a “thinker before you act” type of person. And at age 71 he is not old

"Don’t focus on the MAGA angle of this"

My gut tells me that we are looking at a landslide, the likes of which, has never been seen before. (my best Trump impression) With that in mind, I think Trump need not worry about bringing in the fence sitters... at this point, if you are not on board with Trump, you are a liberal, or you have not been paying attention. And by "you" I don't mean you.

[Alberta's Child]

In some cases that may be true. With polarizing candidates, the right VP is absolutely essential.

[Alberta's Child]

I think you have this all wrong. You will never see a Republican win a landslide again for decades — if at all.

[j_guru]

"You will never see a Republican win a landslide again for decades — if at all."

This time I pray you are wrong. In fact, I am hoping for solid red map. I'm talking about something like Reagan's second term victory red.

You want another Pence to stay above the fray? I love Ben, but he is not going to fight like he needs.

[MinorityRepublican]

Vivek Ramaswamy is my pick. You need someone who knows how to handle the media.

[DesertRhino]

A good man, but not dynamic in personality. I want Tucker, or maybe Kid Rock.

[DesertRhino]

Nikki is a corrupocrat neocon who stands solidly against everything MAGA stands for. And you don’t want to risk a female becoming president either.

[Sheapdog]

Well he still said it in his Tom Daschle style articulation. Let me rephrase my point. At the beginning of the jab rollout.

The B.S. is being overly nit picky.

[DesertRhino]

Scott? No thanks, single and he claims to be a virgin. If he hasn’t ever tamed a woman, he isn’t ready for running the country.

[MinorityRepublican]

Tim Scott is gay.
