Carson bring nothing to the party.

Seems like any VP candidate would need to bring some electorals with him.

That would be a good decision, and it would ROCK the GOPe world greatly!

The point is that Carson would be very qualified and good at any Health related position. Head of the CDC, etc.

If they want to do away with some of those positions and departments...who better to wind it down and hand it off to the states than Carson?

Talk about a lack of dignity.

Anyone ever compares me to a child molester we’re done permanently.

I wouldn’t sit around waiting for the offer. Even if Trump wins he can do much, much better for a running mate.

You really think Carson wants to work? Haven’t seen it in anyplace during his little farce.

"Would you be ever open to a VP spot?" asked Fox Business host Neil Cavuto. "I would have to have major philosophical alignment with whoever it was," Carson responded. "I would have to have guarantees that I could do some substantial things."
Surgeon General, or HHS, at best.

-—Surgeon General-—

under no circumstances.

Dr Ben must be placed in a special position outside the bureaucratic wars where he can gather a staff and assimilate all the various Republican Obamacare replacements that are kicking around.

To throw him into the bureaucrat jungle would be a serious error and waste of talent.

There are lots of Republican expert thoughts and ideas that need to be gathered and massaged.

More than that, it explains why he doesn’t want people to know he essentially quite campaigning before the Iowa caucus. He’ there to steal votes from Cruz. If Cruz wins the nomination, it will be nothing short of a miracle and a great win for Americans who care about the constitution. Cruz has everyone against him except the American people.

I like Ben, but it’s time to strike the tents and go home.

Nope. He will stay through South Carolina. He has 10 percent down there which is great.

He is already giving a signal that he is giving up the Presidential campaign.

If this isn’t true, then why is he giving this impression early on?

Or is this another head fake from the media?

Agree. Surgeon general.

Trump needs a VP for a swing state gender gap perhaps or minority pick. Pop

I’m not a fan of Carson in any role but that in which he has previous proven himself to be proficient. As a potential candidate for president, I could not support him.
