Milwaukee sheriff David Clarke would also be an awesome African-American Veep choice.

The GOP is not going to win the Black vote, Carson or no Carson.

Ben Carson has been demonized as the worst enemy of blacks since Clarence Thomas. There is no way he will draw a significant number of black votes.

Right. Except when Carson was seriously running, they tore him to shreds. Yeah, they REALLY want him on the ticket.

The GOP has never had the black vote in any meaningful numbers, Carson or no Carson, so they won’t be losing much. What we’d have to do to get meaningful numbers of the black vote would make us leftists, we already have too much of a Uniparty now.

Trump doesn’t need to ‘win’ the black vote. If he takes 20-25%, he will wipe the Dems off the map.

Seems like Trump would make a big dent and maybe take a yuuuge chunk of the black and hispanic votes— just not the majority of them.

Trump may pick him as VP and even if he didn’t, you can be damn sure Trump is going to wake up a lot of blacks as to who they are REALLY voting for when they support Hitlery.

I live in Atlanta and work with hundreds of black folks and socialize with black folks day in and day. Not a single one of them would know Ben Carson from Ben Affleck in a line up.

You know who they do know? Donald Trump. You know who they like? Donald Trump!

Why? Because he is a white man that they have known from TV for years and they truly get mad when the media tries to call him a racist. I will the be first to say that I am NO ambassador to how and what black folks think, but I do know for a FACT that they will defend Donald Trump as NOT A RACIST all day long. I have seen it myself.

I don't want another candidate just because he/she is black. We've been there, done that. Dr. Carson would best be used as Trump's chief advisor on health care issues, and then as Surgeon General or in charge of HHS.

I'm not being patronizing here. Whenever a medical question comes up in a debate, they defer to Dr. Carson for an answer. Everyone seems to respect his medical knowledge, even when he expresses it in odd ways.

The idea that most Blacks in the US will automatically vote for another Black is true, as long as the candidate is a Democrat. But if we are talking about a Republican, most Blacks will vote for the Democrat. The belief that “Democrat is good and Republican is bad” is so deeply entrenched in African American thought that it is very difficult to change their minds. So the political “expert” giving his analysis is ignoring reality and history to reach his conclusion. I think Ben Carson would make a great cabinet appointee, and if Trump does win I hope he will appoint Carson.

“Trump, Rubio and Cruz are all destined to lose in 2016 because without Ben Carson on the ticket, they will lose the African-American vote,”

This moron must be under the impression that Blacks vote for ANYTHING other than freebies?

The vast majority of Blacks would vote for George Wallace if they were given enough goodies.

Blacks always voted for the party of Lincoln, until the racists in Johnson’s party promised them welfare and food-stamps for life.
