Ben Carson Will not accept a position in Trump's administration


Posted: Nov 15, 2016

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson will not be taking a position in President-elect Donald Trump's administration.

Carson business manager Armstrong Williams tells The Associated Press that Carson has opted out of being considered for any cabinet or other administration positions, including leading the Department of Health & Human Services and the Department of education.

Carson had never been formerly offered a position in the Trump administration, but Williams says the president-elect had made clear he wanted his former rival-turned-adviser in some role.

Williams says Carson "always knew that he could be more effective with the president-elect outside the administration."

Correcting the misinformation - Hillary wins the vote

Votes are still being counted, but the Associated Press' election results show the Democratic candidate, 69, leading the Republican nominee, 70, by 797,724 votes (0.62 percent of voters). According to the AP's tally, she earned 61,324,576 votes (47.85 percent) and he garnered 60,526,852 votes (47.23 percent). CNN reported that Trump is likely to lose the popular vote "by anywhere from 500,000 to over a million votes." Numbers tallied by the Cook Political Report suggest Clinton's lead may already be over 990,000.

Many major news outlets, including CNN and Politico, have varying tallies as the final numbers come in, but Clinton leads Trump in the popular vote in all of them, despite losing the overall election.

Lots of things he can do outside the government, though.

The truly smart ones are distancing themselves from Trump - Carson is obviously smart - nm

Carson hasn't distanced himself 1 inch from Trump. - Read the article again.

I understand the tea party group is pretty unpopular these days, but is this really a fair assessment?  IMO, the majority of the tea party members do not want to return to a day of slavery or lynching and it's completely unfair to group all the tea party members in with a few that might be racist.  I don't always agree with the tea party, especially the freshman members in congress, but I'd be willing to bet none of them want to hang anyone from a tree.

If you can catch the speech on YouTube or a transcript, and catch an interview when he was on Hannity you will see what a real leader looks like. He made nothing but sense and said the things Mitt Romney should have said or for that matter, any Republican Conservative, have t ...

Question: Why Do You Think Americans Are (generally) Willing To Accept A Two-party System?Jul 29, 2013

In a country where you can have a choice of about 35 different types of salad dressing but only two viable choices for the highest office in the land, I just find it is stunning that Americans are willing to stand for this. Answer how you will, but I am hoping the discussion goes past slamming any one president or party and more towards how we as a nation have largely been manipulated in ...
