Trump hints at making Ben Carson his running mate
Daily Mail ^ | 10/21/2015 | NIKKI SCHWAB

Posted on 10/21/2015 6:20:34 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Could the two leading GOP candidates pull together to become the ultimate outsider ticket? Top Republican Donald Trump didn't say no to joining forces with the man polling at No. 2, Dr. Ben Carson. 'Well, I like him, he likes me,' Trump said. 'I mean stranger things have happened.'

I’m betting it’s #2. Nick has been off his meds over Trump for months. It must suck to live with him, that is if anyone does.

Sen. Ted Cruz is NEEDED on the Supreme Court.

Dr. Carson would be an excellent VEEP for President Trump. They kinda have a ying/yang about their personalities. I could see it happening.

And (don’t laugh) after Justice Trump is seated, next in line should be Rick Santorum.

And since I’m on a roll...let’s call the Jim Webb to lead/fix the VA, with former Governor Palin in charge of the Energy Dept as it oversees the XL (and other needed pipelines) being built.

NO. Anyone who says anything good about the vile Sharpton doesn’t belong was his running mate.

President Trump’s Cabinet

Jefferson Sessions as Vice President

Department of State, (return INS.) – John Bolton
Department of Justice – Rep. Steve King
Department of Treasury, (includes former Homeland Security - Customs) – Carl Icahn (Offered and Accepted)
Department of War, (change the name back.) – Gen. James Mattis
Department of Interior, (includes the legitimate functions only of former Dept. of Transportation, Dept. of Homeland Security - Border Patrol, and Energy Departments) – Gov. Palin
Department of Health and Human Services (include the VA function.) – Dr. Ben Carson
Department of Labor and Commerce – Herman Cain

This proposed model has the President directly managing eight subordinates which is slightly higher than optimal.

Department of Homeland Security – ELIMINATE
Department of Education – ELIMINATE as proposed by The Donald, 9/23/25 at a Columbia, SC Town Hall with Sen. Tim Scott.
Department of Energy – ELIMINATE
Department of Housing and Urban Development – ELIMINATE
Department of Veterans Affairs - ELIMINATE
Department of Agriculture – ELIMINATE
Department of Transportation - ELIMINATE

On Fox news Sunday, 10/18/15 Trump said he’d cut funding for EPA and Dept. of Ed.

In non-cabinet level jobs

Sheriff Clarke should be FBI Director
Michelle Bachman as IRS Commissioner under Secretary Carl Icahn in Treasury
Admiral James A. “Ace” Lyons as Undersecretary of War - Navy Branch.
LTC Allen West as Undersecretary of War – Army Branch.
Lynnette “Diamond” Hardaway and Rochelle “Silk” Richardson would be great as President Trumps Co-Press Secretaries.

Marsha Blackburn, Speaker of the House
Ted Cruz as Senate Majority Leader.

I really wish it could be Allen West.

I met him and saw him give a powerful speech in Temecula, Ca.

If you know his history, he is most politically incorrect person Trump could pick. And, that’s a good thing...

I would guess that is Trump's way of testing the waters and clearing up any issues down the road when he doesn't go the race-based route.

Now for a short public service announcement:

GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!

Donate to Cruz

Donate to FR

(feel free to modify with a link to trump's site for donations if you wish - only if you leave the FR link intact and don't take Cruz out of the mix.....

"Keep shouting blindly “Heil Trump” and telling others how “sick” they are. History will laugh at you, and many good people will suffer because of the gullibility of you and others."

Yeah, because the current political course in this country has been so incredibly freedom loving, right? History is ALREADY laughing at Americans for being so breathtakingly naive/stupid/commie as to vote for the single most destructive wrecking-ball of a scumbag marxist to ever occupy the white hut. What do you propose as an alternative solution, Herr "Veritas"? Do you have a better candidate (who actually has a CHANCE at winning) lined up in the wings that the average person is not privy to perchance?

I don’t want Trump to make a politically correct choice.

“Do you have a better candidate (who actually has a CHANCE at winning) lined up in the wings that the average person is not privy to perchance?”

Irrelevant. Trump IS NOT CONSERVATIVE and he will damage the country every bit as much as Clinton. Conservatives do NOT win with Trump being elected POTUS anymore than Hillary. So, there is NO winning with Trump. A Trump victory is a loss.

Besides there are other candidates that could rise (not Carson) IF Trump wasn’t sucking all the air out of the room. They might not be great choices, but they are preferable to Trump.

Show me one national poll with Cruz ahead of Hillary.

One.

You won’t be able to.

Thus should end your spitefulness against Trump.

Ben Carson IS NOT the right man for VP either...
....................................................
Agreed! Carson showed his colors when he snuggled up to Al Sharpton. He is pro amnesty, pro gun control, and lacking in any real world experience. We need someone who can manage this country like a business and get us out of debt and only one man has that talent, Trump.

You have to remember that VP is one breath away from Prez. I would NOT like to see this country in the hands of Carson.

There is no way Trump is serious. He’s just BSing.
