Remember how the media accused Newt of being in the 2012 race in order to sell his book?

Hmmm...

Yeah just ignore the facts “Journ-o-listers”

“It’s a question of co-mingling from the corporate standpoint to the Federal Election Commission standpoint so it’s just better to avoid any bad appearance,” said spokesman Doug Watts.

I know I know. Integrity in a Political Candidate! How shocking the poor little dears must find it!

OK, that’s weird.
Blend the fundraising & promotions into campaigning, yes, but ... dropping campaigning _just_ to sell books & raise money?

I like Ben in general (do not think he is presidential material) .... but really, this makes him look very “not serious” about his campaign, the stated reason of avoiding ‘co-mingling’ notwithstanding.

I did more searching last night and there is a noticeable dearth of Carson “buzz” in relation to his “polling”...

Some may say it is just common sense, but trust me there has to be some smoke for that big a fire....

Next are the deep tools that show just what the highest count search terms are on the Internet, wanna bet there is no trend to support his sudden rise in the polls...

Still wondering about him being a bit of a setup unless all of us embrace him as our “Black” president...

They may use his fall as organized racism within the party not finding Blacks as president and drive that narrative to attempt a “sympathy” vote to add him as VP...

And a House divided against itself cannot stand... and if he and The Prez do not agree it will delay or diminish the overall impact of his presidency

Handicapping him.

Just a thought: it’s only mid-October and campaigning costs money. If he did this next June, different thing.

Why not, remember Hillary had a book written before sworn in New York and it came out and earned her money as she took office.

Legal...

This strikes me as a very peculiar thing to do.

Besides, isn’t fundraising part of campaigning? Which leave selling his book. Huh? I don’t get this.

Why not? He’s already gotten what he came for. Trump probably offered him Secretary of Health and Human Services. He must be thinking, “ Why do all that traveling? I give Senior Amnesty a chance to get HIS ass kicked like Carly and Yeb.”

I simply can not take Ben seriously. Just withdraw. Let’s let those that are serious move forward.

I just remembered when the huckster went to the cayman islands for a “book signing” LOL. Was right in the middle of the campaign.

I don’t know where all his support is suppose to be coming from, I see very little of it on FR.
