RSSBen Carson Says I’m Promised a Spot in Trump Administration … The Art of the Deal
Should this come as a shock from the man who wrote “The Art of the Deal?”
Well who didn’t see this coming? Dr. Ben Carson revealed on Newsmax TV Monday that he will work in Donald Trump’s administration. Well what did anyone expect after Carson ended his presidential run and the suddenly endorsed Republican front-runner Donald J. Trump? Obviously he was promised something for his endorsement, especially considering some of the vile words that Trump said about the mild mannered Ben Carson. Who could blame Trump for wanting a good man like Carson in his cabinet, I would want him. More importantly, who is surprised, this is what the Trumpster does, he makes deals. If it turns out this is what pushes Trump over the top in Ohio, it just makes the deal simply brilliant.
Dr. Ben Carson revealed on Newsmax TV Monday that he will work in Donald Trump’s administration — at least in an “advisory capacity” — if the Republican presidential front-runner is elected to the White House.
But Carson, a retired pediatric neurosurgeon who recently endorsed Trump after dropping out of the race of the GOP nomination, declined to say exactly in what capacity he will serve or whether it’s a cabinet position.
“I do believe, and certainly in my discussions with Donald Trump, he does love America and he does want to be successful. He will surround himself with very good people,” Carson told “The Steve Malzberg Show.”Asked whether he will be one of those people, Carson responded:
“I will be doing things as well … Certainly in an advisory capacity [in Trump's administration].”
Carson said Trump’s decision to bring him into the presidential fold came after he sat down with the billionaire developer to talk about the future.
As to whether his expertise in medicine or education will be tapped, Carson was mum.
Honestly, my only fear with Trump is that he will make deals with Pelosi and Schumer. I want him to enforce his will upon them, not make deals. If Trump is elected president that will most likely mean he would also have a Republican Senate and House. If that is the case, you don’t make deals, you look to reverse the disastrous 8 yeas of Obama and that does not include make deals with far left Dems.
Ben Carson Plans to Endorse Donald Trump (VIDEO)
Former Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson plans on endorsing Donald Trump. Carson, who just last week suspended his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, plans to endorse Trump on Friday. Hmm … wonder what position Ben Carson would get in a Trump Administration? Last night during the 107th Republican debate on CNN, Trump referenced that Carson would be endorsing him. Talk about your Odd Couples. Could there be two candidates farther apart in style? I have to say that Ben Carson must have the thickest skin ever of anyone running for president or The Donald made him an offer he could not refuse. Remember when Trump likens Carson’s ‘pathology’ to that of a child molester during previous debates? Really Ben, this is who you would endorse?
This is obviously a key endorsement and coming right ahead of the Ohio and Florida primaries. A key endorsement indeed.
Conservative favorite Ben Carson, who last week suspended his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, plans to endorse Donald Trump on Friday morning, according to two people familiar with his thinking.
The endorsement, perhaps the most high-profile nod for Trump since New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie backed him, was finalized Thursday morning when Carson met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, the luxury club owned by the Republican front-runner, the people said. The sources requested anonymity to discuss private conversations.
Friday’s announcement will also take place at the club in Palm Beach, Fla., where the onetime rivals will appear alongside one another at a news conference.
Ben Carson Announces His Presidential Campaign Is Over
Ben Carson, the most honorable man in the GOP race is officially calling it quits …
Ben Carson is suspending his bid for the presidency, the retired neurosurgeon announced Friday, speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference in National Harbor, Maryland.
“Even though I might be leaving the campaign trail, you know there’s a lot of people who love me, they just won’t vote for me. But I will still continue to be heavily involved in trying to save our nation,” he said.
Later in the speech, Carson appealed to the audience to get active and informed.
“We cannot continue to allow ourselves to be influenced and molded by the political class and by the media. That is going to destroy us,” he said, remarking that it’s “kind of sad” that the press is the only business protected by the Constitution “because they were supposed to be the allies of the people.”
Carson signaled his exit from the race on Wednesday following a string of dismal performances in primaries and caucuses, writing in a statement that he saw no path to claim the Republican nomination.
Pundits Say Super Tuesday Predictions Point to Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton Rout
DON’T BELIEVE WHAT THE PUNDITS TELL YOU ABOUT A TRUMP & CLINTON SUPER TUESDAY ROUT …
Its Super Tuesday, if you are in the following states, get out and vote!!!
Alabama · 50 delegates
Alaska · 28 delegates
Arkansas · 40 delegates
Georgia · 76 delegates
Massachusetts · 42 delegates
Minnesota · 38 delegates
Oklahoma · 43 delegates
Tennessee · 58 delegates
Texas · 155 delegates
Vermont · 16 delegates
Virginia · 49 delegates
Do the Pundits know that none of the Super Tuesday primary/caucus states are winner take all? I guess not as they predict that Super Tuesday will be a Trump and Clinton rout. Sorry folks, it has nothing to do with winning and losing. It has to do with delegates and whether you can get to the 15% or 20% threshold in the proportional states. Unless a candidate wins the state by the winner take all threshold like 67% in Tennessee, which is never going to happen with so many candidates still in the GOP race, its all about meeting the requirements to get delegates. It is a much easier proposition for Hillary Clinton and she just has one opponent and hardly one at that.
Remember, the real number to look for is 20%. In some states its 15%. That is what qualifies a candidate to get any delegates. Thus, Carson and Kasich are an afterthought and should really start thinking about packing up and heading home.
On Tuesday, more delegates will be awarded than on any other day of the presidential race. About half of the delegates needed for a Republican candidate to win the nomination are at stake, plus about a third for Democrats. In roughly a dozen state races, Republican front-runner Donald Trump and Democratic leader Hillary Clinton seem poised to win in landslides that could render them nearly inevitable.
The Politico is playing the spin game too .. Trump, Clinton to run riot on Super Tuesday. Sorry, but the wins really don’t matter, especially in close races. You will hear all kinds of hoopla that the GOP race is over because Trump won so many states, but we all need to check out the number of delegates at evenings end. That will be the real story. Trump will most likely garner the most, if the polls are correct, but just how wide will the margin be?
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are already beating their rivals. On Super Tuesday, insiders predict, they’ll all but bury them.
Members of The POLITICO Caucus — a panel of strategists, party leaders, activists and elected officials in four key March-voting states — expect both Clinton and Trump to romp through the majority of Tuesday’s primaries and caucuses. And a number even suggested that running the table on Super Tuesday, or something close to it, could make both front-runners nearly impossible to catch in the race for their parties’ nomination.
Donald Trump Wins Big in GOP Nevada Caucuses … Trump Wins the Latino Vote
RUBIO AND CRUZ, HOPE WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS NEVADA, STAYS IN VEGAS NEVADA …
Last night Donald Trump easily won the Nevada caucus by more than doubling his second and third place opponents. This is the third straight victory for Trump as he previously won the New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries. A record turn out showed up for the Nevada caucuses. And it would seem that all demographics voted for Trump. With 96% of the vote in Trump was dominating the race with 45.9%. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz were in a narrow battle for second with Rubio at 23.9% and Cruz at 21.4%.
Donald Trump trounced his rivals in the Nevada caucuses on Tuesday, notching his third consecutive victory and giving the Manhattan mogul even more momentum heading into Super Tuesday next week, when voters in a dozen states will cast their ballots.
Trump’s decisive win, which the Associated Press announced immediately after polls closed, was propelled by an electorate even more enraged than the ones that had swept him to wins in New Hampshire and South Carolina, and a second-place showing in Iowa.
“We love Nevada. We love Nevada,” Trump declared in his victory speech. “You’re going to be proud of your president and you’re going to be even prouder of your country.”
In his post caucus victory speech Trump said, “We weren’t expected to win too much and now we’re winning, winning, winning the country. And soon the country is going to start winning, winning, winning.” Trump continued to say, “We won the evangelicals. We won with young. With won with old. We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated.” What might be even more astounding is that he won 44% of the Lationos that voted in Nevada. Unbelievable. More than both Cruz and Rubio who are of Latino origin.
Donald Trump holds a commanding lead in the delegate count; however, the focus turns to Super Tuesday, March 1 where 13 states will hold their primaries. But it appears that Trump holds the lead in 9 of the 13 states.
