President Donald Trump and Vice President Ben Carson
Dan Miller's Blog ^ | February 21, 2016 | Dan Miller

President Trump and Vice President Carson will be an excellent team. Each has qualities the other lacks: Carson is modest and soft spoken, Trump is not. Trump knows how business works and how to negotiate deals. Carson does not. Both love America and want to help us to make her great again.

Trunp ground game

Donald Trump interview, February 18th:

All too often, our perceptions of candidates are based, not on what they actually say and do, but on what opposing candidates and their supporters claim.

Oh well.

Here are Newt Gingrich's remarks on Trump's future after his South Carolina Republican primary win.

Don't want Trump/Carson? Then let's just keep things the way they are because the country's in the very best of hands. Isn't it?

Excuse me. I need some medicine.

I’ve posted it would be a winning ticket because many of the elderly and timid are very comfortable with Ben Carson.

By choosing Carson, Trump would assure that demographic that the image of his ‘bulliness’ would be softened.

The duties of VP are largely ceremonial. Throughout American history, it is very very rare that a VP ascends to the presidency by election.

Carson as VP would be a very good Ambassador of Goodwill.

I would have preferred Cruz as VP but his error in picking scumbags to run his campaign reveal his lack of experience for running large organizations that must respond to situations with speed and alacrity. Instead, he lets others dictate policy. He would be better at replacing Scalia, but I doubt now that Trump will consider it.

I like Newt, but Palin needs to stay close to her kids. They are young and it would appear they need a little more tending attention....even the older ones.

I lived in MA until 2006, didn’t make OH my full time home until 2012. Isn’t it something? Anything above local selectman (councilman here), and the puppet masters invent these personas that have NOTHING to do with reality.

I seriously doubt it. I don’t think Mr. Trump can stand Mr. Cruz.

Carson may be a great pediatric neurosurgeon....but he has a screw loose somewhere.

ABC....(anybody but Carson for those in Rio Linda)

Susana Martinez, Governor of New Mexico, would be a great choice as VP.

Susana Martinez was born in Texas to U.S. Citizen parents. She is a natural born Citizen. Her father was a U.S. Marine, Golden Gloves boxer and Deputy Sherif in El Paso. I could support her as President Trump's V.P. pick.

I’m not seein that combo coming together. It will be a political move to align with the party or win a swing state. Kasich is a better bet for VP. He can help with Ohio and he’s a faithful party foot soldier like Biden.

I’m not pushing Kasich I just think he’s a strong possibility. Also maybe Huck as a longshot.

Carson was encouraged to stay in with the possibility of being VP. He won’t. He was there to split the Christian vote. He has been played. It worked. He should have dropped out a while ago. Might be a great surgeon general though.

Ben Carson was a democrat until he decided to run for president and declared himself a republican. He still is a democrat.

He was my choice last time. Since then, he has pretty much faded into obscurity.

“thing” should be “thinking,” which I obviously was not.

A TRUMP/CARSON ticket would cause me to skip the election.

A TRUMP/CARSON ticket

Would Trump even consider a VP with a "pathological disease".

“It’s going to be Trump/Cruz.”

I don’t think so....too many hard feelings from the campaign trail. How about Allen West? He’s another straight shooter. Plus he’s a retired Lt. Colonel.

He’s more credible then Cruz. Smarter too. Stay in Carson and do the honorable thing by taking down Cruz. You may have given Cruz 3rd place yesterday. Thank you and God bless dr. Carson!

I like Carson, but he is too low energy. I wish he could pick Cruz but that won’t happen. He’s got to have someone high energy and smart or he won’t respect him/her. He’s liable to pick a woman. He picks female executives in his business. I wish he could run with his daughter! She’s so sharp.
