Breitbart ^ | 5-15-2016 | Michelle Moons

Posted on 05/15/2016 2:38:59 PM PDT by Sir Napsalot

Dr. Ben Carson confirmed five people on presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s list of potential vice presidential running mates in a recent interview.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the 2008 VP running mate to John McCain, was one of the five Carson said was on the list. The rest are all former 2016 GOP presidential candidates: Trump’s closest competitor Sen. Ted Cruz, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Sen. Marco Rubio, and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. (Read more at source)

He revealed five names, but there are more than five names and none of these are on the short list. That’s my opinion anyway.

“””” He will pick a winner, not a former loser.

That is not logical. All the folks who ran ARE winners, one way or another. The only one who never lost never tried. “””

The only thing those people on the list won is a participation trophy.

My take is that none of these people will be VP. This is a list of people that represent different factions of the GOP big tent - it is a play for party unity by bringing the factions together in a discussion on who would be the best VP candidate.

Carson is not talking out of school, he is helping Trump out.

What makes you think Trump hasn’t told him to release these five name? More than likely Carson is doing exactly what trump has instructed him to do, along with the five names he wanted him to release. These five are most likely not on his short list if he has even gotten to that point yet..

I’d rather see someone of neutral emotional value as his running mate. Trump is quite a guy, and needs the campaign focused on himself, and his vision for America. His running mate should be someone not involved in the recent brouhaha for the nomination.

Someone well qualified for the job should God forbid something terrible happen that Donald Trump cannot finish his term of course, but someone NOT involved with a stigma as a loser, or extremist due some campaign policy.

Now who would that be? NOT Sarah, (Cabinet).NOT Newt (COS), WHO?

You must be dreaming. Do you think he can win against the C machine? No way man. Keep dreaming.
You must be another one of those whom would lose elections purposefully. :)

I'd say Carson has just directly joined Trump in laying cover for his act.

Who Trump will REALLY choose will be revealed at the proper time.

This kind of news is NOT true but it's what keeps Trump in the headlines until he's ready to announce his VP.

"The only one that makes sense is Kasich, who fits the bill as someone who knows how Congress works and he might be able to deliver a state."

Cankles would have to spend a truly miserable amount of time and money in Ohio to overcome MailManJr's absurdly weird home-son voter affinity. And she can't win without Ohio.

Added to his former budget skillz he could be billed as an ersatz 'expanded' role as president of the Senate. And the dude probably is clean right down to his drug test.

That said, not sure MailmanJr would clear the interview process, ie, "Would you be willing to stfu per your own inane considerations, and instead have this chip implanted to speak for you. For 8 years."
