“Every news commentator that saw the Carson press release thought he was dropping out.”
Equivocation.
Quote one who said the words Team Ted used on caucus night; “Carson is dropping out”.
They didn’t broadcast it on the air until later but Bret Baier and Brit Hume said that they both thought Carson’s actions signaled he was leaving the race. They also said that the fact that half of Carson’s New Hampshire team left him to go to Cruz was also an indication that his campaign is essentially over.
