This is a very pleasing surprise, if it is real. In 2016, I was originally a supporter of Ben Carson, having read his biography. Then Trump showed up for the primary, stirred the pot---and became friends with Carson. During this time, there was a lot of press agitation about Trump's personality and "mean tweets," etc. But I knew about Carson, and I figured, "If Ben Carson approves of Trump, that's all I need to know." For me, it was like a Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval on Trump's personality. Carson is cool, collected, and effective. The perfect behind-the-scenes operative.

Trump seems to want a low-key, no-mistake VP, who won't take any spotlight from Trump. Carson fits that nicely. I'm intrigued.
