Either one would work for me, but I think Carson might have more appeal in the general election so that might make more sense.

There go the Trump-haters’ brains.

They never considered the two collaborating... can’t throw spears if that happens.

He’s also said he’d like to have Oprah at his side.

Why'd they have to ruin it?

He would need Cruz. And I think Cruz would take it.

I want Cruz to be Majority Leader in the Senate, I’m good with Carson as VP

Carson for designated funeral-goer. Cruz for Supreme Court.

Dr. Carson would be great as the Health and Human Services head. Putting a doctor in charge of Obamacare, saying it should be in the hands of experts, not bureaucrats.

You are assuming black and white dems would vote for a black man who is conservative. There is no bonus to being black if you are conservative. Black conservatives are seen as sell outs.

Cruz would work better if you are going after a voting block for Hispanics are not quite as monolithic.

I think Trump needs Cruz to keep him on the Constitutional straight and narrow. Carson just does not have the creds.

If Hillary rides out the storm and becomes the Democratic nominee; then Fiorina would make sense as Trump’s Vice President. If Hillary withdraws then Cruz would be the best candidate for “VEEP” with consideration given to Carson as a minority “draw.”

Still a year away from Trump having to choose a running mate as this usually happens the week of the convention.

Though it would not surprise me to see Trump break from this tradition. I would also throw in the names Allen West and Susana Martinez. Either of those would make liberal heads explode even more.

Not just two three. Trump and Carso. Have known each other for years.

And since VP’s tend to disappear after election, I would rather Cruz get AG, or stay in the senate to push agenda.

I also think this is an insulting article to write this early.
Both Carson and Cruz have to come out and say that they are running for the same job as Trump, and why aren’t they asking them who THEY want for VP.
Were still 6 months away from the first contest, people should take a breath, support their candidate, and lets watch how this plays out for a few more months before we start calling for VP candidates from the current field.

Cruz or Carson is fine. Don’t think he is serious about Oprah.

Cruz needs to take Valerie’s role, and undo everything evil she’s done. He longs to do this.

Need a clarification on this (Oprah). Does he mean he would like her support? Surely he did not mean as his VP.

Stone, who noted that he’s had a hand in eight presidential elections, has taken it upon himself to begin vetting a No. 2 for Trump.

‘I don’t think that Donald has thought about a running mate yet, and frankly it would be presumptuous for him to do so,’ Stone said. ‘He’s focused on winning the nomination, and then winning the election.’

A non story here, Trump isn't considering anything yet.

RealClearPolitics hasn’t had a new poll on Iowa New Hampshire or South Carolina in more than 10 days.

Probably because the results are too unbelieveable.....80 percent for Trump.
