Ben Carson’s former campaign manager Bob Dees defended his candidate backing Donald Trump Friday, saying “we must ask how God’s purposes might have been thwarted if Daniel had not served in Babylon.”
Dees also asked in the campaign email, “What if Joseph had not served Pharaoh?”
“For those of you who seek to analyze this decision through a spiritual lens, we must ask how God’s purposes might have been thwarted,” Dees writes, before saying, “Dr. Carson is an empirical thinker, assessing realities.”
For Dees, the Trump endorsement just made the most sense, asserting that Washington outsider Trump was the natural second choice of Carson supporters.
“A majority of Dr. Carson supporters have consistently identified Donald Trump as their fallback choice, another outsider who can truly break the political paradigm of corruption and cronyism in Washington,” Dees writes.
Dees appeared to assail the #NeverTrump movement.
“Instead of Republican Party operatives falling on their sword regarding ‘anyone but Trump,’ they should embrace the millions of newly interested Republicans, channeling their passion (and anger) into positive change and a likely victory,” Dees writes.
“[#NeverTrumpers] should let the democratic process work.”
“The reality is that Donald Trump, along with the talented team which he will no doubt assemble, is the Republican Party’s best opportunity to win back the White House,” Dees writes.
