I don’t think so beause they are both outsiders, and Carson doesn’t bring much that Trump doesn’t already have.
Now I’ll really get people upset, but: Kasich.
Kasich has a long resume INside goverment at the state and national level as well as in business. He understand Trumps language and would bring administrative experience that would be helpful in restructuring and streamlining government. He has done a great job as Governor of Ohio.
Sure he’s a little wimpy and on the kum-bay-ya side, but he’d have a great strong Boss who’d call the shots. And he could bring a purple state that Trump will need in the general election. He’s got a similar demeanor to Carson’s, which would balance out the boldness of Trump for those who feel that’s a problem.
The VP does not set the policy direction - tell me one thing Joe Biden or Al Gore did other than show up?
Selecting a VP is not personal, it’s business.
And he knows how the DC apparatus works since he was there as a congressman, and of course being governor of a battleground state makes him a logical choice.
