Donald Trump surrogate Dr. Ben Carson continues to not be very good at this whole surrogate thing.
Dr. Ben Carson, one of Donald Trump’s most prominent supporters, said that anyone worried about Hillary Clinton’s health should be just as concerned about Trump because both presidential candidates are “elderly,” and there are no guarantees as people get older. [...]
“I think somebody who is running for the President of the United States, particularly if they are elderly — and that would include both major candidates — should disclose their medical history,” Carson said. “And I’m not talking about from a year ago or two years ago. I’m talking about currently.”
No, no, no. You're not supposed to call Donald Trump "elderly." Sure, he's 70 years old, but he's still the proud owner of (somebody's) bright yellow hair. I think Donald Trump would probably have you tossed out of his building if you called him "elderly." (After all, Donald Trump's own let's-call-him-a-doctor says that the 70 year old would be the healthiest president America has ever known, though the rest of the details surrounding that claim were surprisingly vague.)
Choose your words more carefully, Dr. Ben Carson. It's true Donald has a prominent position lined up for you in a future Trump administration—I believe he has you penciled in as his Sturgeon General—but you can still blow this.
