I agree that Ben isn't exciting and doesn't really speak leader. I am torn about this guy because I am a Christian man.
The country needs a somewhat Christian leader to bring back Christian values. Ben fills that need for me.
I am torn on this.
Thoughts?
I love Ben Carson and originally wanted to see him as president in 2016. I definitely want him in Trump's circle, somehow. I don't know about VP. Though I would love to see him as VP and then, someday, president, I just think we need someone more outspoken and frankly, a bit nastier and more alphamale-ish. Like Trump. The VP needs to be able to assume the office of president, if necessary. I don't know if he is mean enough for that job. Maybe we would benefit from a gentle soul like his. I don't know. I fear the left would tear him apart.
Maybe the Surgeon General? Definitely something in Trump's cabinet or circle. I really love and respect Doc Carson.
That's actually my biggest worry.
Two Alphas will naturally compete to be the front of the group.
I remember my first time trying to get a start up off the ground. The reason why it didn't work. Too many people wanted to lead and take ownership of the company.
To build a team.
You need people who don't have a problem being a follower. Their main goal is to help execute the plan.
That's how I see Ben.
Ben would not want to outshine Trump. He would understand the goals and be in place to help execute those goals.
I have no doubt of that. But he would need to be able to be president if Trump died. Not totally inconceivable at his age. I don't think he will, he seems very healthy and energetic. But the VP should be someone who could lead the country. Anybody who is also an alpha should realize that Trump is the ultimate alpha and be willing to learn from him.
I see your points.
I just don't know too many Alphas who like taking a back seat. Especially on a large stage.
You've got a point there.
