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.

He’s my pick, too. A brilliant man who isn’t an “intellectual” and actually knows things.

I’m seeing a lot of people think he’s too old.

A lot of wisdom in this man.

He’d be loyal for sure.

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

I have no problem with her.

How about Candace Owen?

I like the idea of Ben Carson being VEEP.
He’s not likely to have Prez ambitions. So he won’t spend his time undermining Trump. (Yes, he could develop them!)

All good ideas have associated problems!

1. He’s 74!

2. He’s a 7th Day Adventist. The press will have a field day with that. Some on this site will have a problem with it.

As far as a human being, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better one!

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

He won’t? He spent his entire first term doing just that.

Kash would definitely be loyal.

I wonder if Mike Flynn would meet your criteria?

Trump would not have won in 2016 without someone like Mike Pence on the ticket with him.

GAG- Nikki? She would be a back stabber like Pence. Hillary 2.

Even though I don’t support her, Nikki is the logical choice.

She would be . . . IF you were trying to keep the long-term coalition together, which is why we got Nixon/Agnew, Reagan/Bush, Bush/Quayle, Dole/Kemp, McCain/Palin.

If you have no use for Establishment Republicans, and think they take more than they give, and will always be looking for an opportunity for treachery, sabotage and stabbing in both front and back, you look for someone who is MAGA (which already brings in Independents and old-school Democrats) but younger, and with a milder temperament and maybe more book-learning (as opposed to Trump's running on instinct and experience), but still MAGA.

We are re-making the Republican Party into a MAGA Party. Bringing on Nikki Haley would be like Abraham Lincoln bringing on an establishment Whig for ticket balance.

You can concession your way into a bottomless hole. We don’t need to give up everything to succeed.

If he must pick a woman, it should be Kari Lake.

Trump is his own attack dog sometimes to his detriment.
Why would he subcontract out the position. I think he enjoys it!

ONE AND ONLY: Lt. Col. Allen West

Great choice to be on the short list!

Trump's history in the office has set a high bar for the slot, and we can be confident he is getting a lot of good suggestions from solid sources.

IMO, the threshold requirements for the VP, who in a matter of a few short hours could well the president, ought to include being smart and strong, a MAGA individual who has demonstrated capability.

The current Leftist's and RINO's shriek about the danger of "retribution", when in fact they fear a strong president that will undertake to undue as much of their Obama-Biden gains as possible.

The Left would likely be just as fearful of West as they are of Trump.

Trump’s running mate has to be someone with three qualities: (1) he/she appeals to a demographic group of voters where Trump is weak, (2) he/she offsets Trump’s image as a big-city East Coast jackass with a big mouth, and (3) he/she is a long-time political figure who can be managed by the GOP establishment.

Kristi Noem, please answer the white courtesy phone.
