| Yeah you gotta go. |
Since the former neurosurgeon has taken up the role of working on Donald Trump’s vice presidential team, he has suggested that the candidate may pick a Democratic running mate, dropped she-who-must-not-be-named Sarah Palin as a potential pick and earlier generally questioned a number of the presumptive nominee’s habits from his Twitter use to lack of pragmatism.
So he was off the VP team in a hurry.
According to sources close to Trump’s campaign, Carson was demoted after Trump specifically wanted him to head up the VP selection team. He submitted names that he thought would be valuable picks and inevitably lost his top spot days later. Carson allegedly called Trump afterwards and was angry that the situation played out like this.
Yeah who could have predicted that the guy who made "You're fired" a slogan, would kick you off his team at the slightest hint of incompetence?
Certainly no way to see that coming.
Sarah Palin on the VP list? Even if it were true, why would anybody leak that before the final decision was made?
People may guffaw but it wouldn't surprise me at all if Palin was the choice. All blogs and Facebook pages have gone silent. I hope he's prepared for the backlash if he does; it will be YUUUUUGE.
ReplyDeleteshe's a free agent = you're fired
DeleteHe is struggling between David Duke and Sarah Palin.
DeleteKeep in mind Ben was the front runner for a very short time, and this could have been Trump being hired to vet VP's for Carson.
Delete9:11, I'm thinking the same thing. It'll be Trump's big middle finger to the GOP and a signal that he doesn't really want the job.
DeleteOh he wants it, all right, 1:10 PM.
DeleteJust waiting to hear that she's his "bride."
I think Donnie fired Ben because Ben dropped Palin from the VP list. I think Donnie wants Sarah on the list.
DeleteDonnie doesn't like to delegate. He wants to do everything himself. I've not doubt he'll be firing Christie for whatever he put him in charge of. Donnie is a control freak that wants to be in charge of everything.
I'm agreeing with 1:10. Trump is getting freaked out that he just might win this Presidential election thing. After all he said he could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and not lose supporters. He's a know nothing and if he really wants to lose, he picks Palin.
DeleteWell Ben...that's what happens when you sell your soul for the privilege of licking The Donald's boots.
ReplyDeleteSheesh
I think Bennie was licking something else of the Donald's and it wasn't his boots.
DeleteDonnie doesn't need a VP. He is so skilled and accomplished (did I mention rich?) that he can do this simple POTUS thing all by himself. Then wimpy Ryan is first in line when he quits.
ReplyDeleteJust you wait little Donnie. When Barack comes for ya, you are gonna pee your pants and run home to mommy!
ReplyDeleteDon’t look now, but Barack Obama is suddenly popular
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/05/21/dont-look-now-but-barack-obama-is-suddenly-popular/
President Obama has gained 10-15 approval points with people who view their ideology as Independent over the past year. Obama has also gained support among Hispanics, women, and people under 30.
DeleteThe economy has improved, gas prices are lower, the country has entered a period of stability after the Bush years. These are all good reasons for President Obama’s new popularity. However, the biggest change to the American political landscape over the past year has been the rise of Donald Trump, and no figure in American politics is more the anti-Trump than President Obama.
As potential voters have witnessed Donald Trump in action, they appreciate Obama more. President Obama is everything that Donald Trump will never be, and voters are noticing the difference. The demographics that are fueling Obama’s rising approval rating should be a cause for alarm in the Republican Party. Independents, women, people under 30, and Hispanics are all groups that Trump has turned off.
Democrats have a powerful political weapon in the office, and Obama’s popularity suggests that he is the trump card that could hand the Republicans a crushing defeat in November.

As dear ol' Dad (RIP) always said before a game of cribbage, "come out and get chewed!"
DeleteI think little Donnie is quickly going to realize that the religious wing of the party is a bunch of drooling idiots. In the general he'll pivot to the middle to try to woo Hillary voters, but his back room will be full of old school wall street suits. He's disgusting, but at least he's predictable.
ReplyDeleteThat Trump is predictable is laughable. He is predictably unpredictable.
DeleteYea, but don't forget that Sarah Palin was publically for Ted Cruz before she was The Donald!
ReplyDeleteShe's a swisher and a changer....whichever is most beneficial to her....nothing more and nothing less.
The Donald will meet his match should he name her! She's not a team player and McCain knows that better than anyone else!
Donald, Sarah is all about Sarah!!!! Just like you!!!!
$arah's always been the biggest dog butt sniffer because she's too weak to do it on her own merits and (giggling) intelligence.
Delete"I don't need a title." Not when she got others to do the two she had, of course not, yet took credit for it.
Dakota Meyer gets Sarah.
DeleteAnd don't forget the oil and gas commission that she up and quit, also too.
DeleteI can hardly wait for President Obama to begin campaigning for Hillary Clinton, his Secretary of State!! They worked well together and it's obvious they respect each other.
ReplyDeleteGo Hillary! You have my vote!
If he is elected, he will protect us from ISIS, the PoPe, and the Muslims by creating a national church for which he will head a la Henry 8th.
ReplyDeleteEveryone will buy into it.
You know what's a bitch? Canada. Try to move there!! Very onerous. They want to come here but mais non Americans there.
Of course he did. Perhaps the good doctor voiced an opinion using critical thinking.
ReplyDeleteIt had to happen sooner or later. Besides, trump was using him as a token Black.
I have to believe that Dr. Carson dummied himself down for Trump. Just sad.
Critical thinking? From Dr. Ben? That's good.
Deleteuncle ben is genuinely a dip
DeleteTrump loves to feel important and to have people at his mercy. I'm sure he's having a grand old time.
ReplyDeleteSo Dr Dementia is off the team?
ReplyDeleteHis mannerisms, speech, and pyramids full of Cheerios should have clued even Trump into the fact that Carson is ready for nothing more than a porch rocker and Nurse Ratchet.
ReplyDeleteoff topic
Were Bristol and Sarah getting ready for commercial fishing season? Maybe this is why they haven't been blogging lately?
Todd might still be all stove up after the "snowmachine accident" or whatever it was that put him in the hospital.
Track might be busy getting ready for his trial, and his GF is knocked up also too I hear. So he may be less than good help too.
Then there is Bristol's new baby daddy. Not sure how much help he could be commercial fishing. Is noodling for salmon allowed for commercial fishing? How about chootin' 'em?
So between no tv show, no speeches,and most importantly- SarahPAC shriveling on the vine; maybe both Sarah and Bristol have to be rill fishpickers this year.
Maybe they can make a tv show about it?
Maybe Josh Duggar could make an appearance and sell the Palins a used truck to pull their boat and trailer?
Every damned thread.
DeleteAgain, this is not the subject of Gryph's post.
Todd and Track have massive amounts of time to put into getting off and staying off drugs. It involves the complete family and the mates and families that are enablers and addicts.
DeleteSarah and Bristol have all that taking up their time. Bristol is bringing back the MOH that sells and drinks Kentucky Whiskey.
I am sure it is no small feat. They will be busy for over a year if they start sobriety today.
Oh right. Those two doing real work? Surely you jest.

No, I actually appreciate keeping on topic. Gryph always puts a thread up for the likes of you to bitch and moan. Some of us enjoy other subjects, 11:40 AM, but thank you for sharing.
DeleteAgain, you are annoying
DeleteDon't much care! Truth is truth.
DeleteIf Trump picked Jesus as his VP and Jesus hired Ted Cruz as his assistant, would the next eight words from Trump's mouth be,
ReplyDelete"I DONT CARE IF YOU'RE JESUS, YOU'RE FIRED!"
"Jesus who? Was he in Two Corinthians?"
DeleteJesus who?
DeleteThe undocumented laborer. I knew his cousin in Florida.
Who gave Donald Trump the bright idea that Ben Carson was familiar with politics that he would be able to pick a good vice presidential candidate for Trump? Carson didn't know diddly squat and that didn't stop him from running for president. His goofy answers, such as the pyramids were build to store grain, should have been a tip off that Carson didn't operate at full horsepower.
ReplyDeleteTrump knows about as much, and look where his millions have gotten him. I'm sure Donny thought having a real live black "SURGEON" in his camp would make it look like he 'loves blacks, and Hillary has treated them horribly," right? And remember, Trump's standard for liking someone is 1: if they are male, will they bow to my wishes, and 2: if they are female, are they slim enough and busty enough and young enough to enter one of his T&A shows. Brains matter in neither instance. After all, when you have an IQ around 100, you sure don't want to be around MENSA intellects. I think that why he tolerates the Tundra Twit...she is passably attractive, and even dumber than he is, plus she has 'hot' daughters.
DeleteThe word is out that Trump dumped $arahchump because her looks have faded to such a high degree.
DeleteAnd her daughters are toads.
DeleteTrump recently bragged that the guy who vetted Palin would be vetting Trump's VP picks. Are you kidding? Did that guy even Google the name Sarah Palin? At that time, she was involved up to her eyeballs in Troopergate. But I do have to hand it to Sarah. Taking charge of Trig, and using his DS as a sign of her strong right to life stand was a brilliant move on Sarah's part. The problem was dragging Trig around the campaign for two months. Even McCain doubted that Sarah gave birth to Trig after they were together for a few days, but he stuck with her.
ReplyDeleteTaking charge of Trig?! She only pulled him out as a prop when it behooved her to do so because she cannot EVER stand on her own.
Delete>>Even McCain doubted that Sarah gave birth to Trig
DeleteMcCain knew about the birth hoax. And it wasn't Sarah's idea to pull the fake birth as the right to life card. It was Paxton and her lawyer Van what's his name who cooked up that stuff. Sarah just went along for the ride. So no credit is due to Sarah for anything but being a pathological liar, a grifting political whore and a piece of shit mother.
11:30 AM
DeleteThe entire investigation and story is a must. Long over due. When is it coming out?
11:30 AM - Yep, and named for everyone that went along with it. Too bad the "big advocate" didn't get Trig the help he needed early on. Beeyotch.
Delete"Pass me a baby....not the retarded one."
That was all part of the plan what with McAsshole getting caught cheating on the wife. Dirty hands all around. Paxton? Tri-g? $$$$$ Granny is one cold hearted woman to do this to a little one then not even get him any therapy. Cant eat,talk. Shits his pants. The woman is a selfish pig.

ReplyDeleteDonald Trump Never Raised Six Million For Our Veterans
ReplyDeletehttp://crooksandliars.com/2016/05/donald-trump-never-raised-six-million-our
He got so mad at Fox News that he skipped one of their debates in January and replaced his appearance there with a fundraiser for our wounded warriors in Iowa.
Does anyone recall Trump's televised fundraiser for veterans? He did want to skip debates. Also, didn't his greatness fundraising for Vets have to do with Sarah Palin and her son Track Palin?
What happened to the money?
He could come out now and write them a personal check of double the amount as an apology jesture.
Sarah, won't you pitch in? You know Track Mark and all.
He took it for himself. I knew he would when he put it out there. People are stupid.
DeleteHe found a way to get vet $ to the campaign he is funding. He'll say he was just borrowing it.
DeleteMethinks that the only brain surgery Ben Carson ever did was on himself...Brain damage...
ReplyDeleteI truly wonder if he knows a dinner fork from a knife or spoon...
Gee that Donald Trump. He bought down all his rivals in the GOP. They are licking his ass crack now. How did he do it? Why would they do it? What gives? Now he's just panting after Hilary. He wants to bring her down bad. Crooked Hilary he calls her. Funny thing though, is that Hilary has been called so many things it's not really novel at this point. I feel that Hilary and Donald have been on this road since they were born. To meet one another. Listen Donald, Hilary ain't no Megyn. Beware.
