Political reality in the hard, cold big leagues mandates a veep candidate bringing with him/her three things....a large, dependable bloc-following (hispanics, evangelicals, whatever), big-bucks donors, and a substantial, dependable electoral college vote in the general election (for example, a veep candidate from Texas or California will score more heavily in the selection process than one from Rhode Island).
Gentle Ben flunks in all aspects, so does Fiorina along with most other names being tossed around in the wind as a vice-presidential selection.
My reasoned guess is that Trump would select none of the above and his running mate would be someone we haven't even thought of and whom we would like VERY much.

I’m warming up to him. I’m still backing Trump, because he’s still the only one promising to do something about illegal immigration. Carson’s been a little squishy on that, but Simon is right, Carson is emerging as a soft-spoken but “formidable” character. I’d love for the nomination to come down to a fight between these two very worthy men, who distinguished themselves outside of government.
The bastards in the media tried to create a false controversy over what Carson said. Didn’t work. Carson didn’t back down, but instead referred to his actual words.
Talk about hyperbole.
For one thing, it is becoming increasingly unlikely that Jeb Bush will be the Republican nominee.
Hope it did not take you this long to figure this out. Jeb was not going to be the nominee the same day he announced he was running.......
If Carson is the nominee, I will not vote for him. We don’t need another gun-grabber in the White House.

How about Cruz/Carson
the "CC." ... I like it for a logo.
How many people has he (Carson) forged into a team to get things done - big things?
I think putting a team together to perform separating twins joined at the brain would be significant! After all you can't chose them by affirmative action but ONLY on good results in that case. I would trust Carson alot after he learns some things but not on the job training.
And so if Dr. Carson wins...would this make him the FIRST truly African-American to take office
No actually I say that African-Americans are those who come from Africa. The only African-American I know is white EXCEPT the resident in the Rainbow hut. I believe he IS born in Africa so therefor an African-American. LOL
Ben Carson speaking puts people to sleep.
Carson is not a conservative.
