Valin Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Power Line: Paul Mirengoff March 11, 2016 Dr. Ben Carson has endorsed Donald Trump for president. Many conservatives will be disappointed by the doctor’s decision, but it makes sense to me. In effect, one candidate whose quest for the presidency was founded on a cult of personality, not on any demonstrated ability in the realm of public policy or even demonstrated ability to discuss policy in any depth, is endorsing another such candidate. Carson fits the profile of a Trump endorser. Like Sarah Palin, Scott Brown, and Chris Christie, he is unlikely to face an electorate in the future. His main chance at relevance lies in being elevated by Trump. (Snip) Major office holders who plan on facing voters have shied away from endorsing Trump (Jeff Sessions who won his last election with 97 percent of the vote, is an exception, assuming he plans to run in 2020). Candidates who, in effect, are in (or soon to be in) exile have much less to lose by backing Trump. (Snip) ______________________________________________________________________ That Was Then...
