Ben Carson supposedly atop Trump's VP list. Perfect bland replacement of Pence.

[underpants]

I can’t find anything else on this but this makes sense. Carson is as much of a houseplant as Pence.

1. "Carson is as much of a houseplant as Pence."

More. He's dumber.

[ificandream]

5. A houseplant. Great description.

Trump's version of Dr. Vinny Boom Batz.

[Polybius]

13. Not sure about dumb

Honestly, I think he is starting to go though cognitive decline at a very young age. He was a brilliant doctor at one point. Then something just happened. I'm sure he's worse now, as I haven't heard him speak in a few years.

[jcgoldie]

15. So I have read about the brilliant doctor thing

Have to believe my own eyes having seen him speak plenty... and pyramidal grain silos

[ProudMNDemocrat]

2. Just another complacent ASS-KISSER...

Ben Carson was a lousy HUD Secretary. He will not rock the boat lest he be tossed overboard.

[ShazzieB]

16. The fact that he lasted the whole term as HUD Secretary says a lot, imo.

It says that he managed to go a whole 4 years without getting on Trump's wrong side. To do that, a person has to be either doggedly loyal, extremely inoffensive, or both. We know these are both qualities Trump highly values in his minions.

I can easily see Carson as being exactly what Slobby would want in a v.p.

[KS Toronado]

40. Yep, a loyal YES man with no critical thinking skills.

A Pence lite.

[Diamond_Dog]

3. Perfect pair for a kakistocracy.

[Turbineguy]

4. Surely, there must be somebody less qualified?

George Sanders sounds like he's becoming available.

[Traildogbob]

6. So

A black man as the side kick of a man that calls for the side kick’s hanging when he loses, cause it is not Trump’s fault.Carson really thinks that red neck white supremacy cult would not hang him? I think they were allowed to keep the gallows.
At least the Flys will not be seen on black hair.
All the GQP draws flies being the shit is packed thick in their epidermis sack.
PS: it would be funny though to see MTG and Lake’s heads explode that they lost their dream job to a black man, (affirmative action?)

[Ocelot II]

7. George Santos might be available soon.

[IowaGuy]

8. Well, nobody will ever accuse Ben of being woke (nt)

[rsdsharp]

9. Ben is the kind of guy you sit in the corner and feed with a slingshot.

As a child he used to like to ride around in the clothes dryer; the best part of him went out through the lint filter.

[underpants]

31. Your subject line cracked me up

[PSPS]

10. Makes sense since Carson and Jesus are "good buddies." Here's a actual pic from Carson's home

It makes me shudder to ponder what they were doing before this, given their grins and jesus' bathrobe. What does he want placed in that outstretched palm?

[elleng]

32. Thanks for this, thought I'd remembered it.

Carson is/was a brilliant pediactric neurosurgeon, I've heard many times, fwiw.

[JI7]

11. He is probably the one that most fits the position

First you need someone that will accept the role.

Trump doesn't want anyone that could get more attention than him. So that's why he won't pick someone like Haley who might appeal to more people. But it also means people like Marjorie Taylor Greene are less likely to be picked.

Mike Pence fit the 2 things I mention above.

[underpants]

19. Exactly

Pence was the blandest whitest white guy you can find.
I can’t wait for Trump use Carson as what they think is an outreach program only Trump will repulse everyone who isn’t a racist.

[JI7]

12. Can you imagine VP debating Ben Carson ?

[underpants]

20. Like this?

[Walleye]

28. Oh she is good. Was it two or three statewide elections she won in California. Highly qualified

[PJMcK]

14. And the idiocracy continues

Trump says President Biden is too old despite being just 3 years less old.

MAGA-world says Vice President Harris is unqualified to assume the presidency but they’re thrilled about Carson?!

What hypocrisy.

[HAB911]

17. Herman Cain would be a much better choice

[Sky Jewels]

26. Even as a corpse,

Herman Cain is more lively than Ben Carson.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

27. I see what you did there.

[Sugarcoated]

18. LOL

[Prairie_Seagull]

21. If this winds up being true?

I wonder what the litmus test for the job would be? Hmmmm.

[underpants]

22. I'd say it's twofold

He’s bland and doesn’t take any attention away from Trump.
They’ll think it’s a great outreach program

[Attilatheblond]

23. Did Trump's other 'my negro' resign?

Might have become bored with same ol same ol and stopped showing up at the 'rallies'.

[Cyrano]

24. Oh, spare me. Trump would eat a shitburger before making a black man his VP.

Even if he believed this would bring him some/much of the black vote, he just wouldn't be able to overcome his own bigotry and hatreds.

And as far as Carson himself, I have no idea why this man would want to be near someone who would bring back plantation life if he could.

[Sky Jewels]

25. Just reading the name "Ben Carson" makes me feel sleepy.

[Walleye]

29. So the guy who has been indicted for felonies in 4 Different Court rooms, is now picking his vice president?

[NowISeetheLight]

30. Hit Up Macys

TFG should just call up Macy's and get a mannequin to prop up behind him. They could get an animated one whose head nods up and down every time the Mango speaks.

[DFW]

33. If there is any truth and/or substance to this

It is the biggest indication yet to me that either.....

1.) Trump is not serious about wanting to run again, or
2.) No serious money is backing Trump for the nomination, or

Both.

He may as well be running with Daffy Duck.
On second thought, if he could get someone as entertaining as Daffy Duck to run with him, maybe that WOULD be serious.

[Owens]

34. Not surprising

Trump does not like others (Lake, MTG, or Noen) taking his spotlight, so of course he is going to go with the dullest person.

[brooklynite]

35. Maybe you can't find anything because the source is some guy on Twitter (with a Rumble account)?

[brush]

36. Awww...and MTG has been campaigning so hard for it.

[keithbvadu2]

37. Ben Carson is a pretty understanding guy.

Ben Carson is a pretty understanding guy.

"Carson: You Have To Admit Trump Calling Me A Child Molester 'Did Work'"

39. Jesus. No self respect

Trump advised Herschel Walker to call Warnock a child molester.

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/nov/14/just-call-him-a-child-abuser-trump-walker-warnock-book-jonathan-karl

As Herschel Walker faced defeat by his Democratic opponent Raphael Warnock in a high-stakes US Senate election in Georgia last year, Donald Trump advised the Republican candidate: “Just call him a child abuser.”

At first, Walker did not take the former president’s advice, letting go his sole debate with Warnock – a church pastor – without raising the slur.
But according to Jonathan Karl, ABC News’s chief Washington correspondent and the author of a new book on Trump’s Republican party, “all bets were off once the race went to a run-off”.
