Dude looks like he’s barely 60. If the rumors are true of him being Trump’s VP pick, I’d rather a younger candidate for VP. I think Youngkin or Vance would’ve been home runs but what do I know.

Vivek is young and much more polished than any of those individuals.

Black don't crack mane.

Seriously, I think Ben Carson has been sober and healthy his entire life. Helps tremendously on the backend.

And I’m here for it. That said, I voted for Carson in the primary back in ‘16 when I was still a registered Republican. I think he is a tremendous asset to the Trump administration. He’s smart, based and loyal to Trump. I am looking forward to seeing what Vivek does over the next 4 years. Even though DeSantis has been the best governor I’ve ever lived under, if Vivek can demonstrate his conservative bona fides, he’s my runaway favorite for ‘28. He says what clearly needs to be said right to people’s faces.

Why do we constantly have to pander to a population that makes.up only 12% in the US?

Is that what you think Carson’s qualifications are? He’s black? I just want to be clear about your post before responding further.

I’d love for him to be VP but I don’t think Trump is going to pick him for VP to make room for another position that I think Vivek actually wants (not sure what that is but there is a huge spot for Vivek in the admin)

Carson is an exemplary individual relating to the Black demographic in this Nation. His journey and wisdom is impeccably virtuous and his loyalty to the Constitutional Republic which enabled his extraordinary rise is unshakable. He will not be intimidated by the race baiting and demagogic Dems. His eloquent and humble demeanor is exactly what this Nation needs and will be a counter balance to Trump’s hard edge. I doubt that Ben desires to run as POTUS in ‘28 and has likely stated as much. Carson would pick an able and committed VP and hand it off to them for ‘28. But in the event that the Fascists take Trump out, Carson is smart and strong enough not to be conned or manhandled by the DC Cabal. I well remember when Justice Thomas was being assaulted in the Nomination Hearing and he turned it on the Dems with the “public lynching” statement. Boom, the Dems scattered and Thomas has been bedrock on the Court ever since.

Even at 72 he's pretty based and not crazy like his "ruining mate."

That would be great, but I hope Trump picks him to run the FDA for the next four years.

It’s easier to point out two white dudes hate brown people and women. That panders to way more than 12%.

That’s just the truth.

Carson helps make Trump look stable like Pence did. Usually you want your governor to appeal to the independents.
