Ben Carson: I'm Promised a Spot in Trump Administration
Newsmax ^ | 03/14/16 | Bill Hoffmann

Posted on 03/15/2016 12:13:40 AM PDT by kik5150

Dr. Ben Carson revealed on Newsmax TV Monday that he will work in Donald Trump's administration — at least in an "advisory capacity" — if the Republican presidential front-runner is elected to the White House.

But Carson, a retired pediatric neurosurgeon who recently endorsed Trump after dropping out of the race of the GOP nomination, declined to say exactly in what capacity he will serve or whether it's a cabinet position.

Spoken like a deluded Cruz Bot. Last week RedState was telling Anti-Trump mobs to carry guns to Trump Rallies. Is that your sort of people?

FR is a GREAT site.

Some hostilities and arguing between Cruz and Trump people.

Shows passion.

It’s FAR from a joke.

Contains some of the smartest people in multiple fields that I’ve ever seen assembled at on site.

If it ain’t from Conservative Tree House, Breitbart or Drudge, it’s a lie.

Ridiculous. Both Trump and Carson explicitly said this at Carson's endorsement news conference.

Guy endorses candidate, joins his team as an advocate, and they both agree they'll work together should candidate win.

Scandal.

wouldn’t it be funny if cruz flipped ever poll Tuesday and won the day.

OMG, the trumpies would go ballistic.

I’m sure if trump wins, a year from now all the trumpies will disappear when there is no wall built, there are 30 million new citizens and we have a liberal supreme court.

I think this wsa taken out of context. Trump said he was going to use Dr. Carson as an adviser in his campaign. Someone has words and intent mixed up. This was clearly stated at the press conference.

I figured out Erickson the fake southerner from New Orleans or Baton Rouge

Wherever it is he’s from ....long ago

He’s not one of my tribe in Dixie

He’s in the Haley Barbour tribe....

Carson: “Even if Donald Trump turns out not to be such a great president, which I don’t think is the case, I think he’s going to surround himself with really good people, but even if he didn’t, we’re only looking at four years as opposed to multiple generations and perhaps the loss of the American dream forever.”

Now that’s a ringing endorsement...not!

But don’t worry, we can get rid of Trump after four years if he is as bad as we think he will be. LOL!

That would be perfectly fine by me. We’re going to be going into this election battle with whichever of these guys (Cruz or Trump) gets the nomination and with whatever army is willing to stand with us and fight on our side. We’re getting real close to decision time for some people. It’ll soon be, you’re either with us or against us. There will be no middle ground, no third way and no slackers.

It’s not like we’ll have a lot of choice if he wins the nomination, right?

Of course he was promised a spot as was Palin.

The difference is Palin knows the law and is way smarter than Carson to go around bragging about his new found income. No more going around trying to hack books.

The other difference too, Cruz would not commit to a job for Palin so no endorsement.

Cruz knows the law and chooses not to break it for endorsements like Trump who has no ethical values.

Trump has grown up paying to play like other big time politicians with low moral and ethical values.
