Interesting. I thought it was odd that Corey was named to be in charge of the VP selection team when Ben Carson was supposedly heading that up.

[TribalPrincess2U]

As he should be.

Why did Trump hire this clown anyway? I’m sorry, but Carson was never fit to run for President in the first place.

[Sacajaweau]

One of my "told you so" moments. Sorry....when you're in that capacity, you are not free to dump stuff to the public.

To the grainary with you.

Carson always struck me as the kind of person who was wholly incompetent to do anything outside of his specialty. Not a generalist by any means. A bit of a savant type, but tightly focused.

I don’t know why somebody would want to make it appear that there is some rift,” Williams said. “On Dr. Carson’s part, there is no rift. He continues to talk to Mr. Trump.”

[Terry L Smith]

Naming unchosen ‘lightning rods’ do have consequences!!

[PJBankard]

Did Carson become a foot-in-mouth specialist?

[867V309]

In before the “ben carson’s a good man” parade.

[HarleyLady27]

I think Dr. Carson might have said some things that the media re arranged...I think probably Trump has Dr. Carson doing something away from the Media...they are very good friends, so is Chris Christie, Trump and Dr. Carson...

I wouldn’t make to much of it...

[MarvinStinson]

The daily beast is a Soros publication.

[Pravious]

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

[patriot08]

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:

Carson’s problem in two words...Armstrong Williams

[proust]

Back to the pyramids for Ben.

“Dr. Carson and Mr. Trump have a wonderful understanding,” Williams said. “Sometimes I along with Trump’s top people are not always aware of what they are strategizing. [Carson] doesn’t always share with me. That’s 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!

[wastedyears]

What’s wrong with Palin?

[Georgia Girl 2]

Look Trump is treating Carson like a mushroom. Keeping him in the dark and feeding him shite. He needs to give Carson some BS job to keep him happy so he continues to endorse Trump for President. I guess the VP search team was too much for him. Let’s face it Ben Carson is a DoDo bird. I wouldn’t let the guy near me with a scalpel. :-)

[trisham]

Allen West. Just sayin’.

[Sivad]

Personally, I would have picked a more politically savvy
person than Dr Carson to head the VP selection group.
Part of the job is to float a few names for public
consumption and Dr Carson has a propensity to talk more
than he needs to. The way Carson was dismissed seems a
little too crude, also. It could have been announced that
he was moving to another position within the campaign.
That would have saved some embarrassment and the appearance
of disorganization.
