Former Donald Trump adviser Roger Stone said that a “Trump/Carson ticket would be a very strong ticket.”
Stone, appearing on “MSNBC Live With Thomas Roberts” Thursday, articulated that, “It is interesting that the three candidates moving up are the three candidates who are not career politicians.” (RELATED: Rand Paul Doubles Down: Trump A ‘Fake Conservative’)
Thomas Roberts: Who do you think is the most likely to be a competitor? Is it Ben Carson, who we see coming up second in a lot of the polls behind Donald Trump? He still has a pretty formidable lead, especially in the new Monmouth University poll against anybody. But Ben Carson seems to be the closest. Would that be the biggest worry in the rear-view mirror for a Donald Trump campaign?
Roger Stone: Actually, I don’t think it’s a worry. It is interesting that the three candidates who are moving up are the three candidates who are not career politicians. Those would be Donald Trump, Dr. Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina. I think this is a manifestation of the fact that voters are tired of politics, they are tired of Washington, they don’t trust political institutions, they don’t trust elite media, who they think are in bed with the established order in government and in politics. And therefore, the fact that the outsiders are rising is a very good sign. Frankly, it occurs to me that a Trump/Carson ticket would be a very strong ticket.
