Ben Carson (“Eli”)

There was a time when Ben Carson was pegged to be the person who would head up the Republican party ahead of the 2016 presidential election. As he was a frontrunner next to eventual winner Donald Trump, he also received a code name from the secret service, even though he was the first GOP candidate to have it happen to them. “Eli” was picked because it referred to his graduate status at Yale University, a term that often describes an alumnus from there.
