carson, good morning, harold ford, mr.ive him? >> we have not discussed that issue. >> do you have a choice? >> and the advice i would generally give is choose somebody who can be for extraordinarily helpful to you. in many cases the vice president has been sort of a figure head or has been somebody who may be able to bring this state or group of people. but i think the job has gotten so complex that you do yourself a great favor by picking someone who can take on some major issues and really make a difference. >> dr. ben carson, thank you for being on the show this morning. >> thank you so much, we appreciate it. >>> still ahead this morning, we'll go live to wisconsin where nbc's alhallie jackson is following the campaign. >>> plus, leicester city one step closer to a remarkable ending. roger bennett says it's like sea biscuit in cleats and the voice of the premier league ar lolo whitement we'll be right back. ♪ only those who dare drive the world forward. introducing the first-ever cadillac ct6. whewhat does it look lik
