Fox’s Neil Cavuto Suggests Donald Trump As A Running Mate For Dr. Ben Carson

Dr. Ben Carson didn’t exactly sound enthusiastic when Fox host Neil Cavuto suggested Donald Trump as a running mate, but he didn’t rule it out, either. “All things are possible,” Carson said.

In a softball interview that was mostly about immigration and Trump, Carson praised Trump. “I like people who are willing to say what they believe,” he said.

Carson claimed that he had learned to tone down his own rhetoric and that it’s “a skill that people learn with the course of time.” But Carson’s next words indicated he may need a little more time to get a little more skilled.

CARSON: There’s no question that we are in the process in this country of giving away all of our values and principles for the sake of political correctness and as a result of that, we’re in a tailspin.

As the last question, Cavuto asked, “Let’s say you become the Republican nominee. Would you look at Donald Trump as a potential running mate?”

There was quite a pause before Carson answered. Finally, he said, “I know Donald Trump. I’ve had a chance to associate with him… He’s a fun guy, he’s a very smart guy. So I will leave it at that.”

Cavuto pressed. “So you might,” he said.

“All things are possible. Absolutely,” Carson replied.

I’m so tired of how FOX is covering Trump’s run for president. Good grief! It is Herman Cain all over again, but with more money to burn. Then, Van Susteren gets a few words in the other day about how the other media outlet pundits are treating him unfairly! I wish I could have put a sock in her mouth! The most entertaining Trump updates has been on TRMS! Go Rachel!

When we awake tomorrow, it’s possible that Kneel will have a brain, Carson will be white and Birther Boy won’t have tangerine sunset color hair.

“I like people who are willing to say what they believe,” he said.

Uhhh, no, fuckstick. You like people who say what YOU believe.

Trump will never share the spotlight with a running mate.

Cuz what more do you need than a Donald?

I think even crazy Ben Carson knows that Trump is nuts, and wouldn’t want to be on a ticket with him.

Actually, I was thinking of the reverse — a Trump/Carson ticket. Carlson has gotten no traction at all as a presidential candidate and could be the first one out but he does serve a purpose and could do a lot to help the right get minorities into the fold.

Wow, Cavuto knows nothing of the Donald, does he?

From this, you’d think that Cavuto just woke up from under a rock after being asleep for the last 100 years.

The Donald would NEVER consent to being a mere “running mate” to anyone. If he can’t be the GOP’s ~~führer~~ presidential nominee, he won’t run as a GOPer.

I’d almost love it if Trump—after losing the GOP nomination (but still running a hard second or very, very close third place—as in just behind the second-place candidate) decided to mount an independent campaign and peeled off enough GOPTP votes to ensure a Dem in the White House until the end of the decade. But, Trump’s ego would never let him do that. He knows he could never win as an independent (and I can’t imagine any third party being so desperate as to take him on as their nominee—especially since most third parties have their candidates named before the D or R conventions) and he’s not about to let anything crush his ego that much. Coming in second or even third in the GOP contest would be bad enough but coming in no better than third place (and, more likely, even lower) would never sit well. (He couldn’t fire enough employees to soothe his ego after such a thumping in the political arena.)

Oh, you want to get the appeal of a Donald-Carson ticket? Picking a black running mate deflects The Donald’s glaring bigotry and top choice Bill Cosby has too many legal problems.

As I just pointed out “Fox And Friends” has run countless segments today wallpapering The Donald with a wallpaper pattern of unicorns and rainbows. Why would they support a loud-mouth bigot? Well, coincidentally (I’m sure) they’ve run 2 segments defending ‘whiteness.’

Far be it for me to accuse ‘fair and balanced’ Fox News of so much as a smidgen of bias, particularly towards The Donald who was a regular “Fox And Friends” weekly feature for years. However, I suspect “Fox And Friends” running either 5 or 6 segments (one running as I type) – I’m losing count – pimping Trump and drowning the poor man in whitewash might ever so slightly tarnish their unblemished reputation of being clearly unbiased straight shooters devoid of so much as a hint of spin. ;^)

Why on earth would anyone promote a Carson-Trump ticket?
