“That was good news for them, and they’d found it.”

Has anyone ever found a communication by CNN that actually states that Carson was dropping out?

Why don’t they present it.

Saying that Carson is going home to get a change of clothes would imply that Carson is going home to get a change of clothes so he can reengage. You don’t say you are going to go home to get a change of clothes if you expect to stay home.

"Saying that Carson is going home to get a change of clothes would imply that Carson is going home to get a change of clothes so he can reengage."

Or it could imply that "to get a change of clothes" was just a lame excuse for some other reason. That change of clothes could be sent to him so quickly and easily..... probably over-nighted for less than the trip home cost him.

I believe that has been posted here on FR on some of the earlier threads. CNN announced that Carson would not be going to NH or SC (usually an indication someone is dropping out). Then, later they clarified that previous announcement.

It isn't like they said he was going home for fresh clothes in the initial newscast.

The unfortunate part of all this is that a media announcement ends up boosting the GOPe candidate (Rubio).
