He tried.
He failed.
He got fired.
Not a bad reflection on Trump at all.

... or Ben Carson’s role was to intentionally throw names out there that would make the media’s heads explode.

Carson's people said Ben has more important things to do.
Yeh, right....like checking on "bud" at the grainary.

Ben Carson is not a plant as in a democrat plant. He’s a plant as in potted plant.

He is a good man, but that doesn’t mean he is competent in every capacity.
To: EveningStar
Dr. Carson is a nice man, but too weak and uniformed for a major post in Donald’s administration.
I’d like to see Col Allen West in the VP slot.
Now there’s a knowledgeable, fearless man- and a war hero to boot!
He ‘gets’ the muslim agenda. Hear what he tells a young marine about Islam:

He was off the committee a few days before those names came out to set up the Ryan meeting according to Newsmax. Whether there was a firing or not is debatable but it wasn’t due to the supposed leaks.

They’re still buddies.
Donald and Ben bonded in that epic debate moment when Ben got confused; Donald stood by his side and walked out w/ him to make it look less damaging to Ben.
I’m sure Ben was appreciative....and it made Donald look like a superhero.

You gotta kinda like Gentle Ben, if for nothing else than his sheer irreverence in the presence of men of power and influence. He is very much his own man, and floating interesting (if somewhat heretical) hypotheses in the council of his peers may just be his way of thinking out loud. The good doctor is being used not so much for his organization skills (of which he has plenty) but as a sort of sounding board. If the new strategy has the right resonance, it will be adopted, but perhaps a good many of the points raised by Gentle Ben have more to do with trial balloons than with actual moves.

Dr. Carson and Mr. Trump have a wonderful understanding, Williams said. Sometimes I along with Trumps top people are not always aware of what they are strategizing. [Carson] doesnt always share with me. Thats a good thing.
Williams has not always been an entirely reliable source of information about the goings-on inside the Trump campaign however. When he told The Daily Beast that Carson was off the VP team, a Trump campaign source told CNN that he had fucked it up.
And now we have the rest of the NON-STORY!

Carson seems like a good guy. I mean I’d take him to dinner and stuff. Seems fun and all.
But he is a total friggin’ goofball.
He might be swell at brain surgery, but I wouldn’t let the man paint my living room.

Trump has to choose someone with the proven ability to make things work in DC. It also has to be someone who is on the same page as Donald Trump. And a proven vote getter, appealing to independents and across the aisle.
Colonel West would bring more uncertainty to the candidacy. Besides that, he's not a proven political campaigner on the national level. Summary....it's a bad idea.
