Carson: I’m open to being Trump’s VP

Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson says he's willing to consider being Donald Trump's vice president if the businessman wins the GOP nomination.

"I certainly would sit down and discuss it with him," he told Fox Business host Neil Cavuto on Tuesday, the day of the New Hampshire primary.

But Carson emphasized that he'd only consider running if he and the nominee had "philosophical alignment."

"I would have to have major philosophical alignment with whoever it was," he said. "I would have to have guarantees that I could do some substantial things."

Carson wouldn't say which candidates he would not consider running on a ticket with.

"Rather than get into that, let's say as long as there is significant philosophical alignment, I wouldn't have any problem," the former neurosurgeon said.

Ultimately, Carson said his focus is on his presidential campaign.

"I'm aiming to really change this country in the same way that I came up with new ways to do very complex things that people have been trying to do for a long long period of time, that's what I want to do with this country," he said.

I like Ben. I believe he is honest, which is so unusual today.
Trump would be blessed by such a man as a counselor.

Rather Have him for President.

Carson however would make a GREAT Health and human Services Sec.

He seems like a decent humble guy, some of his politics aside.

Not H&H...not with his "mandatory vaccines" platform. But he is honest so I could go with him as VP!

Yeah I hear ya on the vaccine thing, not my favorite thing about him but he is a Dr. and knows Healthcare. Just keep him away from Guns and the Vaccine thing and he is ok.

I would not mind it at all if Trump Picked Carson. It would be a grist twosome in the WH completely outsiders that the establishment hates. Makes me smile a lot.

I think Trump should look for an outside insider -- someone who knows how to work the political system behind the scenes but who isn't currently in office.

Bill Clinton would fit that description LOL. But seriously, he needs someone who can hold a Congressman's and Senator's hand and tell them why they should support Trump's legislation. And someone who can stick in the knife and twist it a little if they don't play the game.

The reality is that Trump is going to have to work with Congress and the Senate to get things done all while keeping the public happy.
