    Pat Buchanan, what's not to like.

    Edmund Burke reminded us, “Men of intemperate minds can never be free. Their passions forge their fetters.”

    Unsurprisingly, the details of the story don't corroborate the sensationalized headline.

    Sensationalized? Hardly. The headline specifically says "suggests". Carson is quoted as being said "I will be doing things … Certainly in an advisory capacity,” and that the details haven't been worked out. Sounds like something has been discussed. Now, this could mean anything from VP down to janitor. I'm betting it's secretary of education. Carson had mentioned how he'd love to reform education (and still have the .gov drive it).

    But a Cruz/Rubio "unity" ticket would be peachy keen?

    Cruz and Rubio's values align far closer to mine than the other candidates. Trump is the odd-man out... and I don't like seeing the other candidates concede their positions and align with the Democrat because they're getting something out of it. They're giving up what's best for the country for personal gain.

    I'd consider both Cruz/Rubio/Carson/Bush/Kasich to be GOP, Conservative, Republican... whatever you want to call it. Giving that up to get a cushy job in the administration of the guy currently winning is a sad, defeatist attitude.

    The point that I'm trying to make is that I've seen many people advocating for one candidate to give up his candidacy, endorse another candidate in exchange for being tapped as that candidate's VP - and then criticize Trump/Carson for quid pro quo for the mere implication that Trump discussed Carson having some place, even if as a mere adviser, in a Trump administration.

    Your reminder that you're being conned, the leftist media is (once again) choosing your candidate for you... and you think it's because he can win. Hah.

    Clinton still destroys Trump head-to-head:

    Where have I heard this all before?

    Reagan couldn't defeat Carter:

    Reagan had a 40% ceiling, and Ford debated a late entry:

    I'd say "I'd prefer not to risk it"... but that would imply I want him to win.

    I'd say "I'll enjoy watching you all eat crow"... but that would imply I want it to reach that point.

    But I seem to be talking to people that would be satisfied with a Trump presidency, so there isn't much of a response that matters. So, I would rather not have to be proven wrong. Just make it a real race between a socialist/commie and a conservative. No one benefits from the head-to-head we're discussing here.
