Donald Trump to Ben Carson: You’re Fired… From My VP Teamhttp://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/05/21/donald-trump-to-ben-carson-you-re-fired-from-my-vp-team.html
Last week, Armstrong Williams (his business manager and close confidant), told The Daily Beast that Carson left the team of his own volition. Carson had bigger and more important things to do, according to Williams, like preparing Trump for his meeting with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan.But three sources close to the Trump campaign said Carson didn’t leave on his own. He was pushed.According to sources close to Trump’s campaign, Carson was demoted after Trump specifically wanted him to head up the VP selection team. He submitted names that he thought would be valuable picks and inevitably lost his top spot days later. Carson allegedly called Trump afterwards and was angry that the situation played out like this.
Perhaps Ben can now go about recovering his reputation.
He could start by making a trip to Texas to apologize to Cruz for being party to Trump's Iowa charade.
Carson went with the self promoter Trump because Carson is himself a self promoter. They were bound to clash, but I think they deserve each other.
