As veep candidate on a Trump ticket Uncle Ben would bring little to no professional organizational cadre, no heavy-hitting corporate or individual financial backing, no recognizable voting base.....and a too-small home-state electoral vote (Maryland-10 votes vs. Cruz's 38-Texas).
Plus, if Jeb is considered by Trump to be "low-energy", he (Bush) looks like a human dynamo compared to His Sweetness, Ben Carson.
In short, the ticket will be put together by Trump along with his staff of hardened, steely-eyed professionals who play all the angles to win.....and the ticket will not be fashioned by emotions nor by political romantics who are understandably taken by Ben's intellect, his understated style and his warm smile.

Nicely stated.
You’re hardly alone in that prediction, Cruz met with Trump “secretly” so obviously he must be getting ready to bend his knee and swear his allegiance.
Here is hoping the Presidential nomination will make solid appointments to cabinet. Bonus points for appointing anyone that makes the left’s, including the left leaning GOP’s,heads explode!
Of course,for VP you he would pick someone who could be a successor. Someone who could carry on for an additional 8 years!
Someone who actually wants to make America ...well, great!
This election should be Cruz'. I cannot believe so many conservatives trust Donald Trump.
I like Carson. If he believes in a free market health care system with a safety net, he might be a good one to create it with Trump. On the other hand, I love Cruz. He’s a successful constitutional lawyer and could keep Trump and his deal makers out of trouble under the law. He’s for the constitution and understands it...not so sure Trump does. I doubt Carson has been brain washed with the NWO nonsense. Not so sure about Cruz...but you can’t be for the NWO and for the US constitution at the same time. One needs to kill the other.
Cruz would be of the most use to Trump on a practical and political level, I think. He knows how the Congress operates; where sins are hidden... Carson knows nothing about operating in that insanity. He’s sane. Works on brains and has brains. Cruz has a birth cert. with his American mom’s name on it and is shown to be American, unlike Obama’s mess so maybe that will pass Trump’s worries about qualification.
This is a once or twice removed Trump mind f for the other candidates and their donors. It’s inevitable...donchaknow?! Already meeting about VP possibilities.
Trump is meeting with Cruz and the one who ran off the rails with Trump and got fired is talking to Carson... Like Carson would talk with him w/o Trump’s okay and association.
Sounds like a reality show.
Nope, West for SecDef!
