Trump would 'absolutely' hire Carson

If Donald Trump bests Ben Carson to win the White House, the former neurosurgeon may have a special place in Washington regardless -- in the Trump administration.

Trump said Friday that he would "absolutely" put Carson in his Cabinet if he were to win the presidency.

"I would put him -- I'd love to have that," Trump said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

Trump called Carson a "nice man" and said so far the two have had a "very good relationship," seemingly ignoring a roughly two-week span in September during which the two traded jabs on faith and energy.

The real estate mogul said that while Carson would be "qualified" to win the GOP nomination and presidency, he wouldn't do the job as well as a President Trump.

He doubted Carson's abilities as a tough negotiator.

"I would say it's not his wheelhouse, but that I don't know," Trump said

...and which candidate do you & the rest of those 75 percent could win the presidency, at this point? A 6 percenter as in Ted Cruz? A great man, but quite unknown ( unpopular. It is not yet his time.

Father ... have mercy on us and give us wisdom .. in Jesus' name, Amen

Amen.

Luke 18:9 Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’ 13 And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

I'm so often on the wrong side of this.

Knarf, I think it IS the direct influence of God.

Millions of prayers have been directed Heavenward to have mercy on our nation

Trump gathered 40 pastors around and they laid (layed) hands on him and prayed for him!
That took an humbling from him.

Trump can DO the job - not just talk about doing the job.

Trump people don't want to elect a 'President of Sophomore Debate Societies'. Washington DC is filled with people who TALK. Most of them would have a hard time putting on a room addition - no less building sky-scrappers around the world. We elect that type - they go to DC - and they accomplish NOTHING. Don't you get tired of that Buckeye?

Adding one more person to the ‘drawing room’ talk crowd in DC is NOT our goal. We want action... Trump's a man of action.

Trump can actually DO the things he talks about. As far as ‘the libtards’ on Morning Joe... did you know that “Joe” is a Republican? It's a mixed group on that show...

I’m not crazy about Trump; but IF Hitlery (or any of the others) are the Democrats nominee, I will crawl over broken
glass getting to the polls to vote for Trump IF he’s the Republican nominee.

I will vote for any Republican nominee. No staying home because the candidate is not quite pure enough.

We’ve been there, done that. And this disaster is plain to see.
