There was at one time, 17 Republican candidates running for the office of president. The most respected, intelligent and highly regarded of them all was Ben Carson. If you don’t recall who he is, it’s probably because the self-described “inclusive,” left-leaning media disregarded and dismissed him. He was mocked on Saturday Night Live and many of the late-night talk shows; made out to be a caricature because he is conservative and does not hide his faith. These actions, endorsed by the progressive, liberal, Democratic party, are driven by feelings of anathema, indignation and wrath. All leading to the rampant division the Democratic Party embraces. Divide and conquer appears to be the hallmark of the current administration and a vote for a continuation of that objective would certainly qualify as “obtuse.” Ben Carson endorses Donald Trump. Ben Carson is heading Trump’s vice-presidential search committee. Ben Carson is a man of impeccable integrity who can be trusted. Do not fall for the mainstream media tricks used on conservative candidates. Don’t be spoon-fed the tricks used on conservative candidates. Don’t be spoon-fed the talking points of liberal media types used against honest, hardworking citizens like Alan West, Sarah Palin, Condoleezza Rice, Michele Bachmann and George Bush to name a few. It’s the same boorish routine year after year. Try to look beyond the slanted media hyperbole that only diminishes conservative ideas and Donald Trump’s credibility. Ben Carson was able to, and I think you will like what he sees.
