Carson endorses the Trump he knows in private . . . but not the "public Trump."

Former candidate for the Republican nomination Ben Carson has endorsed Donald Trump.   Or rather, he says he is endorsing one of "two different Donald Trumps."   He explained that there is the public Trump and a private "very cerebral" version, and it's the latter that he is endorsing.

The problem with that, Dr. Carson, is that both Trumps would occupy the Oval Office and be the Commander-in-Chief.   How would we know which one is going to show up?

That's like saying that you endorse Dr. Jekyll and we can just forget about Mr. Hyde, now that he helped get Dr. Jekyll elected.   But character pathology is not like a brain tumor you can just cut out, Dr. Carson.  Mr. Hyde would still exist and live inside the would-be president of the United States . . . in the Oval Office.
