All this could have been seen from the absence of ANY campaign events on Carson’s schedule on his campaign site. When the Carson campaign “corrected” what people were concluding from the CNN report, the correction was that Carson would be on the campaign trail on Wednesday (which presumably took him to DC for the National Prayer Breakfast), but he is not campaigning, anywhere, so that claim by Carson’s spokesman was false, unless his Prayer Breakfast appearance was more about campaigning than about prayer, which would create its own problems...

Carson’s NH team quit on Sunday, the day before the IA caucus - so they could join Cruz’s campaign because they wanted their efforts to have a chance at making a difference. That was right before their big hour to fight, if Carson was intending to actually campaign. Presumably he told them that he wasn’t planning to campaign and that told them they would be wasting their time on his campaign.

In a vote where conservative voters COULD make a difference, IA voters who supported Carson deserve to know if their vote would be wasted because Carson wasn’t in it to win. The CNN report correctly made it clear that he wasn’t, and Carson’s website made it clear that he hadn’t been in it to win for some time.

I like Carson but I don’t like what his campaign has been doing this week. I don’t like Carson claiming that he shouldn’t be blamed for his staff telling CNN what he, his wife, and his staff later claimed was untrue (but which now appears to be true after all).... while at the same time claiming Cruz personally responsible for his staff’s actions, especially if he didn’t fire the ones who spread the claims from CNN.

I had to go back a LOT of pages of my comments to get back to posts not related to this Carson thing - posts about the danger we face because of the hole in our southern radar defense. I was ashamed that I had gotten so sidetracked. These political antics serve one person: Barack Obama, the figure-head for the communist-Islamist alliance that wants the USA to cease to exist.

People, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE join with me in resolving not to let the distraction work. Let’s fight the real enemy, not each other.
