Ben Carson plans staff shake up in coming days
Washington Post ^

Posted on 12/23/2015 1:09:42 PM PST by springwater13

Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson is seeking to take control of his struggling presidential campaign, saying in an interview that his drop in the polls is the fault of his advisers and that he plans to shake up his staff in the coming days.

Carson, sitting alone Wednesday in the basement of his Maryland house, said that no one's job is safe. He complained about budgetary management in a campaign that has spent millions and called some of his top staffers overpaid and ineffective in broadcasting his message.

"I'm looking at every aspect of the campaign right now. Everything is on the table, every job is on the table. And we're going to analyze it very carefully," Carson said. "It's not perfect and we're going to work on it."

"I want to see more efficiency in terms of the way money is utilized," he added, saying he is frustrated with his campaign being seen as a "rat hole" for small-dollar donors.

Maybe Carson could be appointed ambassador to Egypt so he can study those funny grain silos.

Can't wait for this unqualified racial token weirdo to drop out.

Will be nice to see a debate without this time-waster.

Carson is a lovely person but he’s not up to being president.

Mark Levin has warning for you all!

If Mark hears any one of you trash decent man Ben Carson’s character, he’s going to have to have a little talk with you! It’s one thing to debate the issues, but to try and destroy his character? Mark will not stand for that!

Ha!

Levin endorsed Cruz today.

That was a tad paternalistic and patronizing of Levin, btw.

In coming days he’ll simply let them go.

Bye Dr. Carson...
