Forcing Dr. Ben Carson to EXIT the GOP Presidential race is "exactly" what Donald Trump wants ...

I'm sure that Donald's guys offered Dr. Ben Carson a juicy Cabinet position, if he would drop-out of the race ..



Quid Pro Quo.


But Ben Carson refused, and the "invisible hand" picked-up the "political sword".

Why ?

Donald Trumps WANTS Ted Cruz in the Number Two slot ...

just as Obama wanted Joe Biden as VP.

Why ?

Any GOPe-RINO type can "tolerate" Donald Trump as president, but they're bat$hit crazy terrified of a Ted Cruz presidency.

Hence, if Ted Cruz is a strong number two, then the GOPe-RINO class will LEAVE Donald Trump in the race.


Questions ?

Well ... I'm content to be judged by history ... my predictions included ...

Including yesterday's prediction that "Dr. Ben Carson will be polling single digits by Christmas 2015" ...


Don't blame me ... you should blame the special coffee that they serve at every Holiday Inn Express ...

What's in your wallet ?

While I agree that Cruz has always been the defacto number 2 man in the race, I think he should be number 1.

This nonsense about a trump-Cruz ticket just irritates me to no end...LOL

I’ve thought all along Trump and Cruz were a tag-team.

Eight years of Trump as President and Cruz as VP followed by eight years of Cruz as President works for me.

Trump is an ass. That he’s on top of many polls says something about the low-information level among conservative voters. All he does is send out
“tweets,” The man has no substance. Now we find out that Politico has LIED through its teeth. Trump should be on reality show. The sooner this Trumpoonery-Buffoonery ends the better for conservatives and the nation. This is an election for Ted Cruz to win. Other should leave the stage.

I’m sorry, I didn’t see any facts, just opinion. I will look again.

Trump would attack Mother Teresa if she was in second place. He’d say that she is a wonderful woman but has no experience and would be a yuge disaster as President.


Well, I admire her but I wouldn’t vote for her either. Though she is as true blue American as our current second term President.

Even if Trump only wants 4, he’d get his veep Cruz elected.

That sort of offer is utterly illegal. Trump is too smart to open himself up to that kind of exposure. Also, Politico is the rpeferred tool of the GOPe, and is hated by Trump. An unlikely alliance.

You're close, my friend... But the truth, when you find it, will be like a riddle, wrapped up inside an enigma, wrapped up inside a blanket with me and that brunette chick who is the only reason to watch CNBC.

I am not so sure. With this apparent attack on him he can pivot everytime and bring up all the more serious issues that Mrs Clinton is hoping die on the vine. If I were him, every breath I could muster would be a counter attack on that b*tch Clinton. Bring up Carson at 19 the bring up hillary watergate ethics firing. Bring up her entire life and her husbands foundation.

One can only hope, without necessarily
believing it.

That is a “low-information” opinion!

Cruz will not win over Hillary. No way on earth that will happen. Mark my words.

****************

Such is life. Quite often it is the low information voters that determine elections.
Trump damn sure isn't a dummy. Now he may not win or even be in the race but don't dismiss
his intellect.

Trump is an ass.

Yes, a very Smart, Capable and Rich Ass. Better than the last two Republican Candidates who didn’t go after their attackers lying about them, or attacking Obama’s still hidden past and his troublesome associations with Farrakhan, Wright, Sharpton, Khalidi, Ayers.

I don’t think Trump is that big an Ass to have let Obama off the hook. Trump would have Vetted Obama since the Media and McCain and Romney and the GOPe would not.
