I wonder what kind of job Trump offered him.. Hmm..
Former GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson said while he wished there was a “path” for him to endorse another candidate, he’s anticipating a role in Republican Donald Trump’s possible administration.
Carson said in a Monday interview with Newsmax that after weighing his options, endorsing Trump made the most “practical” sense.
“I have to look at what is practical,” Carson told host Steve Malzberg. “I didn’t see a path for Kasich, who I liked, or for Rubio, who I liked. As far as Cruz is concerned, I don’t think that he’s going to be able to draw independents and Democrats unless he has some kind of miraculous change.”
He continued: “Is there another scenario that I would have preferred? Yes. But that scenario isn’t available.”
Malzberg asked if he was referring to a scenario that involved another candidate, to which Carson answered, “Yeah.”
Later in the interview, Carson implied Trump had promised him a role in his administration.
“[Trump] will surround himself with very good people,” the retired neurosurgeon said.
“And will one of them be Dr. Ben Carson?” Malzberg asked.
“I will be doing things as well, yeah,” Carson responded.
When pressed whether the role would be “in the administration,” Carson said it would be “certainly in an advisory capacity.”
“That’s been determined? When you sat down with him that was discussed?” Malzberg asked.
“Yes,” Carson said. When the host asked whether he was offered a Cabinet role, Carson said the details are still “very liquid” and declined to offer specifics.

2. Why would he announce this? at this point he needs Trump more than Trump needs him, to endorse someone, u need a support base that u have influence over. He doesn't have a large enough base that would tip the scale. In other words, Trump is just doing him a favor. -

Watch Trump renig on his offer, and play him. Threw his beliefs to the side for a position, smh. He'd have been better off keeping this quiet.

These fake politicians were saying how unqualified he was for the job two months ago and what america needs...now they ready to kiss the ring cause he promised them things.
You can't claim to do what's best for people and only side with people because of what they can give you...that's almost the exact definition of corruption. -

He urged blacks to accept discrimination for the time being and concentrate on elevating themselves through hard work and material prosperity. He believed in education in the crafts, industrial and farming skills and the cultivation of the virtues of patience, enterprise and thrift. This, he said, would win the respect of whites and lead to African Americans being fully accepted as citizens and integrated into all strata of society.stringer bell wrote: »Later in the interview, Carson implied Trump had promised him a role in his administration.

Not that it wasn't already known, but it's official, this clown is an Uncle Tom or his case.
And in the event of a Trump presidency, the same can be said of any black person who continue to work or accept a position in the Trump administration.stringer bell wrote: »I wonder what kind of job Trump offered him.. Hmm..
