TRUMP'S VP SELECTION: Please, Let It Be Ben!
1/14/2024 | Nikos1121

Posted on 01/15/2024 8:07:11 AM PST by nikos1121

AT a recent Town Hall, hosted by Fox, President Trump was asked who would be his Vice President.

He replied, that he already had someone in mind, but would not say at this time.

We've all seen the list, that includes inexplicably people like Nikki Haley, Desantis and Ramaswamy.

Another list has people with some credibility like Tulsi Gabbard, Bryan Donalds and a few others like Rand Paul and even Robert Kennedy Jr.

In my mind, there is only one choice.

PLEASE LET IT BE BEN CARSON.

I can't think anyone better.

Any other name that comes to mind will part of the swamp, not loyal to Trump, incompetent, narcissistic etc.

Ben Carson, along with a hundred other reasons, can change this white supremacy nonsense moniker that they've put on Trump immediately.

He can be a great ambassador for minorities. No one can doubt that.

He can deliver, like he did when President Trump put him in charge of vitalizing the inner cities, as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.

Globally, he'd be great. Can you just imagine?!

Everywhere he'd go people, esp in this hemisphere and Africa will flock to him.

Ben Carson would be the kind of person, every young man and woman regardless of color would aspire to become.

I can think of a thousand other things, but you get my message.

Even the media would embrace him.

In short, Ben Carson would be Trump's Yang.

There is no way Trump would pick her. No way.

Bingo. Too low energy. And too damned old to serve two terms as President. Honestly, we don’t need to keep electing people in their 70s and 80s to lead our country. We need somebody young and energetic.

As far as the poster who said Nikki is the logical choice… why is that? I’m at a loss. I’ll take Don Jr at his word that he won’t allow it, and that s a good thing. Elise Stefanik is at the top of my list right now

Nikki Haley? Did you see on the side bar who is endorsing her?

_______________________________________________

No I didn’t. Was it swamp rats? Different swamp rats that are endorsing Trump?

Look. Trump is not going to get elected without the Swamp Rats cooperation. He needs to, and will, concede the veep position to a swamper.

Life will go on.

I don’t see this happening in a million years.

Ben Carson’s problem is that he’s too dignified for modern politics.

Besides … Kristi Noem is the best VP candidate on the horizon.

Ben is a good cabinet officer but not for next president.

Dr. Carson is not prepared to be President.

I have worked with superstar academic physicians and surgeons my whole life.

It's not the right background for that job.

Your analysis is complete garbage. I wish you luck in life.

ONE AND ONLY: Lt. Col. Allen West

The same Col. West that abandoned Florida for a foolish chance to run for governor in Texas? A disastrous career ending move.

I’d rather it were Kari Lake for VP. I want someone with an axe to grind so the dems are afraid to do something stupid to President Trump.

Name one thing about Senator Scott that makes him qualified to assume the Presidency.

My pick is Sarah Huckabee. Young, articulate, female, loyal to Trump . . .

Ben is a great man, but not the attack dog that is needed and expected to continue the dismantling of the deep state.

Rep Stefanik will help bring NY into the electoral college numbers and have an attack dog ready to continue in 2028

jmho of course.

So you want him because he’s black?

He’s good, just as good, and he’ll do all the black stuff too. That’s about as silly a reason to pick a VP as any I’ve seen.

If you want someone because he’s black, go all in for Byron. At least he’s got real Street/Hood Cred.

How about picking someone that can:
1. Successfully serve as POTUS if the need arises.
2. Help to implement MAGA across this great land.
3. Help to FIGHT the Deep State.
4. Bring in voters currently on the fence for Our PDJT, The GOAT.
5. Run and win POTUS in 2028.

regardless of their sex or color?

Yeah, like Mike Pense?

VP doesn’t need to be an attack dog.

He’s a great balance to Trump.

Stefanik is great, and there are many many like her in the party now.

Ben Carson has never disappointed me. I wouldn’t mind him on the ticket at all. Very Sowell-ian.

Thanks for posting, nikos! I love Ben Carson as well. My only concern is how tough he can be - how much fight does he have in him...that kind of thing.

I first saw him years ago on Christian television - very impressive man.

Nope, not this time. He will not pick the loser’s that were recommended to him.
