Carson to play key role in Trump VP search: report

By Jessie Hellmann

Ben Carson will serve on a selection committee to find Donald Trump’s running mate, Trump told the New York Times on Wednesday.
 
The presumptive GOP presidential nominee said he plans to announce his vice presidential pick in July before the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
 
Trump will soon announce a committee to handle the selection process, he said.
 
“I think on the committee I’ll have Dr. Ben Carson and some other folks,” Trump said.
 
Carson, who ended his own presidential bid in March, is one of Trump’s most outspoken campaign surrogates, frequently appearing on news shows to defend the candidate.
 
While Trump hasn’t publicly discussed possible running mates, he told The New York Times in an article published Saturday that Ohio Gov. John Kasich, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Florida Gov. Rick Scott were possible contenders.

Putting this foreign policy genius on a VP selection committee ought to make the Trumpkins feel warm and fuzzy.

Now Dr. Ben Carson is being denigrated.

He denigrates himself every time he sucks up to the man who likened him to a pedophile

[Frank Cannon]

The reason he is using Carson is because no one respectable wants to be a party to Donny's campaign. Report after report of decent people who want nothing to do with the VP slot. Usually people are standing in line to get involved with a General campaign. Must say something about something.

Remember, Dick Cheney was George W. Bush's headman in the VP search at first as well. If he's in that position, don't be surprised if he gets the nod.

"Argument addicts" have changed this place into an "insultathon" in just a few days.

All negative, all destruction, all the time. No wonder many got kicked off another site.

Since it followed the Trumpsters, maybe you need to check the bottom of your shoes.

Just sayin'.

Your just sad that we are not going to suck up all the lying and insults your candidate hurled at us over the last half year and rally around him now. There is a point of no return. Trump easily reached that when he smeared Cruz's dad for being involved in the JFK assassination even though he had a lead in IN. Expect many of us to continue insulting your candidate until he either disappears or assumes room temperature, whichever comes first.

Sniping, cliques and gangbanging just like FR. Sad, isn't it?

Worth repeating.

Nah, that's not it.  Nice try, though.

I bet you said that with a straight face too!

publana wrote (regarding Dr. Carson):
"He will make a great Surgeon General."

That would be wasting him.

How about head of Health and Human Services?

He could be more effective there.
By dismantling much of it!

Yep, and why pray tell would I seek a brain surgeon to advice me on a political decision? .... Anymore than I would want a politician to advise what surgeon I use for brain surgery.

And THIS is what Scam Wow says he will do ..."Great again"..."Best people".....LOL..what a trump.

I don't support and I will never vote for Trump, however I think his VP pick is extreamly important as I think its very likely he/she will fill out his term in the unlucky event Trump is elected.

Serving as president will put a severe crimp on his lifestyle, for most life in the Whitehouse is imprisonment in a gilded cage, for Trump it is likely to feel like imprisonment in a flop house in a third world country. Trump is used to telling people where he wants to go and when, the SS will tell him when or if he can go.
Trump is a hands on guy in his day to day businesses, he will have to give that control up and put everything in a blind trust.

If the make up of the next congress opposes him at every turn and makes it their number one priority to prevent his reelection, and conservative talk radio turns against him due to his inability to make good on any of his promises, then I think he will take his ball and go back to his very nice home.

IMHO who he picks as his VP has tremendous significance.

I prefer Room Temperature

Exactly.  So far, Susana Martinez, Rick Scott, and Nikki Haley have all told Trump, thanks, but no thanks.

   It still baffles me as to how people don't see 'Carnack the Magnificent' for what he is.
