Hiding in plain site is the singular person who could do more for the Trump candidacy, for the Republican ticket, for the party as such, and for the country, than any other.

His name is Dr. Ben Carson. The obvious question is: Why is everyone missing this?

Carson, without question, is a world-renowned surgeon and first-class mind. He is a gentle soul who served loyally as a cabinet secretary in the first Trump term—one of the few persons to do so for the full duration. Less we forget, he was also the dedicated vice chairman of Trump’s transition team.

As a person who always seems to calm the storm, Carson knows and acknowledges Jesus Christ as his personal savior. He is a devout man in every fiber of his being. I have no formal or informal association with Carson, but I recognize that he not only is an exemplary role model for all men, but he embodies the way of the Lord expressed in the Sermon on the Mount or the Beatitudes.

Hawley would be awesome as a VP.

No to any females. We already had one (Pence) who was a disaster.

I have no doubt that Carson is a decent, trustworthy man. And he’s also clearly intelligent. On the negative side, I’m not sure if he has the temperament to be a truly effective president. But two out of three ain’t bad. Maybe he wouldn’t be the greatest insurance policy for Trump, but at least he wouldn’t undermine his presidency.

In one of his books benny talks about how much he supports affirmative action and wants it expanded! He’s a white-hating racist.

The media would turn Carson into a black Sarah Palin overnight. The VP is going to have to be a razor-sharp thinker and speaker who can defend Trump against liars and advocate for his agenda with great verbal fluency.
