Ben Carson is so dumb. He can't even do his one political job.

He said Trump would nominate Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz, John Kasich, Marco Rubio or Chris Christie as his VP. He's just utterly lacking in imagination. I don't pretend to understand everything about how Trump's alleged brain works, but one thing I can assure is not one of those people will be named by Trump as his running mate. I don't have much nice to say about Trump, but at least he's more imaginative than Ben Carson.

Is Ben Carson the worst or the best surrogate of all time? Yes.

“Who else was on the list?” he asked quietly, maintaining his usual inscrutable calm. The most favorably regarded contenders after himself, he was told, were John Kasich, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Sarah Palin and Chris Christie.

“Those are all people on our list,” he said.

I think the Cruz bridge has been officially burned lol. I predict he'll nominate Cheney and after a month decide he "doesn't like the job" or some lame excuse, and we get 4 years of Cheney.

Fact finders always need more info to make a decision, and when forced to make a decision will take the least possible path that will permit them to say don't blame me I didn't vote for him/her.
