Ronbots on this board told me Haley would be his VP choice. Aggressor said he had sources that this would happen.
I never said I had sources for anything. I just read tea leaves. I also said she could be Sec of State or VP. It's way too early for her to drop out and be VP.
Also, wake me up when Trump actually picks Carson. Dude is 72 years old and doesn't help him, he brings no voters and doesn't bring any other GOP factions to his side. This sounds like a pretty weak trial balloon. Trump isn't picking a VP for quite a while if he is smart.
Trump is pretty fricking nuts though so anything can happen.

POTUS Trump appears to be leaning towards Ben Carson as his VP. Can you even imagine the response from the MSM (Lying Media)? This pick forces more agressive actions against POTUS Trump's candidacy than what we have already witnessed. Stay tuned!! Ben Carson For VP with POTUS Trump
I floated Carson's name a few months ago. I think Carson could be a good VP choice. Carson is an intelligent man with a good demeanor and a calm voice.

Keyes would rip every Dim on his show a new azz and have the most pleasant smile while doing so.

VP is a do nothing role. Foolish to waste him there considering his selection as VP won’t have the sort of impact some in this thread think it will.

I met Ben Carson at a pro-life fundraiser a year or so ago. He was a gracious speaker whose life story was truly inspiring. Our country would be lucky to be led by such a kind & intelligent person. Honestly, I think he’s too good for politics but this is the path he’s chosen. He would be quite the improvement from Heels up Harris.

Not sure I'd go that far, but he's clearly too smart to be a Democrat.

They can't deal with the truth because in their minds it would validate Trump being the front runner in 2024.

As long as Carson's not tied with Trump in the polls, Trump will agree.
quote:
Donald Trump on Thursday told Iowa’s voters that those who support Ben Carson are “stupid” to believe the “crap” that is his life story, part of a stunning 95-minute tirade that included his most aggressive attack yet on his closest competitor...
Toward the end of his wide-ranging complaints about the country and competition, Trump mocked Carson’s narrative about his violent temper as a youth that was calmed only when he prayed to God and asked for deliverance, an event that Carson describes as a miracle. That story of redemption has underpinned much of Carson’s support in the Hawkeye State.
At one point, Trump walked away from the podium and flipped his belt buckle up and down to ridicule what Carson has described as a key event in his life: that Carson, as a boy, once tried but failed to stab someone only to have the knife broken by a belt buckle.
“So I have a belt: Somebody hits me with a belt, it’s going in because the belt moves this way. It moves this way, it moves that way,” Trump told the crowd, which laughed in response. “He hit the belt buckle. Anybody have a knife? Want to try it on me? Believe me, it ain’t gonna work. You’re going to be successful, but he took the knife and went like this and he plunged it into the belt and, amazing, the belt stayed totally flat and the knife broke.”
Moments later, Trump told the crowd in Fort Dodge that he could not possibly understand why anyone supports Carson, who is essentially tied with Trump for support in the first-voting state.
“How stupid are the people of Iowa? How stupid are the people of the country to believe this crap?” he asked.

It’s gonna come to blows between you and me, ninja. It you don’t cut it out with this nonsense. I’m talking about catching a ride into town and throwing hands with you up at the Sonic Burger.
The current VP and one before that were given momentous opportunities to show their stuff with the appointed tasks of heading up the corona response and task force, as well as leading the charge to whip the whole border crisis into shape. A relatively successful, “publicly facing” result in either situation could have likely resulted in making the short list for an upcoming Presidential campaign, and as a front running candidate most likely. As it turned out, neither had the arse necessary to take on anything of the magnitude of those things, in fact pretty much not even give it a genuine, earnest effort. And I’m not implying that in either situation there would have to be irrefutable, “no further action needed” levels of success…..just a notably measurable level of “success.”
So there’s no reason whatsoever to assume otherwise that the next VP won’t be tasked with a similar issue of immense gravity. This is where I initially believed Desantis was going to punch his ticket to the WH for 2028 thru 2036.

A lot of words to just say you agree with me. Both of those candidates had presidential aspirations and neither Pence nor Madame Kamala is going to risk alienating potential voters by doing the bidding of a president in an area that may be an upopular one with their respective base.
A better argument would be to say that Carson doesn’t have those sort of aspirations so he has no issue with ramming though a Trump agenda.
Do better!

So you’re saying that both persons intentionally avoided jumping head first into those highest of profile crises, in doing so allowed themselves to incur on each of their records those humiliating failures? No positive results whatsoever? Well, if that was their game plan, then yeah they were and are precisely as feckless as I thought.
And I come to the table humbly with the following admonition: we should ALL do better. But more so on your end.

Kamala has performed admirably in the eyes of her base I would say, but Pence absolutely rode the fence knowing Trump was catching major heat over his COVID response and he thought he could avoid that by essentially punting everything that came his way.

Dr.Ben Carson for VP?

I love Ben Carson. Like I really love the man. His interviews, etc are so f refreshing and calm and he has an ASMR voice which is very soothing to hear

Trump also knows what happened to Reagan when he chose Bush. Trump can not pick anyone with any kind of official military or intelligence background.

If you missed the Keys vs Dershowitz Debate on Religion in Politics back in the late 90s go and search it out and watch. That is what real debate looks like. Both were brilliant, Keyes especially so. Almost like the flamboyant and unscholarly version of Sowell. Straight up common sense.
Carson will be a great choice.
