“Carly Fiorina’s Powerful New Friend”

I could be happy supporting a Carly Fiorina–Ben Carson ticket.

I like her executive experience, and her willingness to speak her mind.  I would love to see her debate Hillary Clinton.

I worry about Ben Carson’s lack of executive experience.  But I like him a lot, and he’s a obviously extremely bright.  He would grow rapidly into the vice presidential role.

This is far down my list of priorities, but I would also like the way in which such a ticket would defang many Democratic attacks in advance.  Republican racism?  It would be hard to make that look even remotely plausible with Ben Carson as the Republican vice presidential nominee.  A Republican “war on women”?  Try telling that to Ms. Fiorina.

It could be a transformative and historically pivotal campaign.

And it would be fun to see them come up against the excitingly youthful, refreshingly vibrant, new-ideas candidacies of, say, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, or Joe Biden.

I don’t know whether it will happen — probably not — but there are worse possibilities on the horizon.
