Well, the law exists though I wonder why it should. I'm sure this kind of thing happens all the time and I don't see it as an issue. Does anyone in their right mind believe that Obummer didn't offer the anti-Christ SoS in order to bow out of the '08 race? Reagan/Bush I? In fact, how many times have two candidates, locked in a bid for nomination, "teamed up"? Isn't the top of the ticket offering the Vice Presidency to the bottom of the ticket in an effort to have the bottom of the ticket kiss their ass? More to the point: Since when is an endorsement NOT for sale, in this society? My goodness! We can kiss Madison Avenue good-bye! Anyway, the law exists so, let's look at it this way: Trump: "Ben, we've had our differences and I've always liked you. I don't know if you were thinking of supporting me, but I can guess you're not supporting Lyin' Ted. That aside, I've been thinking that you you would make a great Sec. of Education or, even a great Surgeon General. Would you be interested in a position in a Trump administration?" Dr. Carson: "Well, Donald, if I thought I could make a positive difference, I think I would take a position in your cabinet, if you win. As far as my lack of support for Cruz, you're right, of course, but not exactly for the right reason. I always thought that if I couldn't get the nomination, that we still need an outsider to fix the mess this country's in and I have always admired your abilities as deal maker. I think, other than myself, you're the obvious choice." Trump: "Would you be willing to say that, publicly?" As far as how the law reads, that could be flirting with the line, but the two don't have to be connected, necessarily. What if Donald was "interviewing" Dr. Carson for a cabinet position and Dr. Carson just matter-of-factly mentioned that he'd been thinking about supporting Donald for a while and offered his endorsement? What if, months ago, Dr. Carson had said to Donald: "If I don't get the nomination, I think I'll be supporting you"? Much ado about nothing, but the anti-Christ's supporters are starting to realize that if she ever takes the oath of office, she'll be wearing an orange prison jump suit, instead of a blue, Umpa Loompa pants suit.
