PALM BEACH, Florida >> Former Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson says he and Donald Trump have “buried the hatchet” after months of political wrangling, and he is endorsing the GOP front-runner’s White House bid.

At a press conference in Palm Beach, Florida on Friday, Carson, who left the race earlier this month, described “two Donald Trumps” — the persona reflected on stage, and a private, “very cerebral” person who “considers things carefully.”

In his introduction to Carson Friday, Trump described the retired neurosurgeon as a “special, special person — special man,” and a “friend” who is respected by everyone.

Carson warned that it is “extremely dangerous” when political parties attempt to “thwart the will of the people,” and urged politicians to “strengthen the nation,” rather than create divisions.

      Agree. Bottom line.. GOP ticket vs a LIAR/SOCIALIST ticket…any intelligent, informed person would select the GOP ticket…GOP all the way!

      Nothing racist about “a true African American derived from actual Slave descendants.” Why don’t you go all the way and say, “a true African American derived from actual guest worker descendants”

        I keep wondering exactly how low the Republicans on this comment board can go. Just when I think they’re reached rock bottom, they surprise me! The idea of Ben Carson as a V.P. is almost as shocking as Trump as President. Dr. Carson is absolutely ignorant in foreign policy.

    trump needs the check and balance that carson brings with his endorsement.

    meanwhile, hiliar’s quest to be the first female felon elected president is in jeopardy with pagliano slicing through hiliar’s conspiracy of lies and denials with testimony given under immunity. it’s only a matter of time before another hiliar coconspirator decides to abandon hiliar’s nixonian cabal and seek immunity for protection.

    pagliano should avail himself of protective custody to avoid the “clinton suicide syndrome” that has plagued so many other whistleblowers of clinton scandals.

    Conclusive proof that Trump is a genius! He reinvented mathematics last night by declaring that “majority” is really an arbitrary number. It seems that simple math is one of the Common Core standards that he wants to eliminate.

        HILLARY CLINTON: Well, I have to tell you, I have tried in every way I know how, literally from my years as a young lawyer, all the way through my time as Secretary of State to level with the American people.

        PELLEY: You talk about leveling with the American people. Have you always told the truth?

        HILLARY CLINTON: I have always tried to, always, always.

    Vice-President Carson will promote building pyramids for America’s farmers to store their wheat, corn, and other agricultural products.

    Carson for VP is hilarious! While a Trump/Carson win would ensure the U.S. burning to the ground, comedians will be having their pockets lined with gold over the idiocy coming from THAT White House duo!

    I thought that in the world of Trump and his followers being called “cerebral” was an insult.
