“so really he did just as well as Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.”

True. Cruz says he’s tied for second, so is Carson. LOL!!

I really like Ben Carson. Whoever talked him into running for president did him absolutely no favors.

He is staying in to hurt Cruz. Oddly, he is helping Trump who called him a kid touched. This should make FReepers happy

Red State wants Carson votes for Ted. Carson’s motives have little to do with Red State’s attacks.

btw, Red State wants Cruz because they’re obsessed with their hatred for Trump.

Donald Trump would get all the delegates from South Carolina, so really he [Carson] did just as well as Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.

Me too. I didn't get any delegates either.

Wow - a busy day for Leon and Ted State.

One wonders why Red State is so upset.

Are they funding Carson?

If not, Carson’s campaign decisions are between him and his supporters.

They’re all adults doing what they want.

Poor Red State, searching for relevancy in all the wrong places.

Who knows? But I will say this, one of the assertions made in the article is that Carson's fundraising is "borderline unethical" and there is a link. I decided to follow that to see what was shady about it. It turns out that he does most of his fundraising through direct mail. That is costly and so he spends half of what he takes in covering his fundraising. Bad management and inefficient but borderline unethical? No. The rest of what is stated is thus suspect of being subject to the same penchant for hyperbole.

Yeah, he’s obviously a phony. I always suspected he was an Also-Ran for profit, but what sealed the deal 100% for me was sometime around Christmas (before, I think), he suspended his campaign. Not the time he suspended because of that car accident, but a while before that. He suspended for a week so that he could tour and pimp his book, and he had to suspend the campaign because you can’t collect personal wealth while officially campaigning.

How he ever managed more than 1% in any contests after that is a testament to the fact that people simply don’t pay enough attention.

Every day that Red State publishes is proof of a scam!

Could he be staying in to draw votes from Rubio and Cruz so that Trump’s percentage is larger? Maybe wants to be VP?

At least he’s eligible for the presidency. If the rule of law prevails and the Canuck and the anchor baby are disqualified by the courts, then Carson will pick up most of those votes I recon.

This is democracy. It should be Carson’s decision.

Carson can’t win but I’m not sure how much he’s skewing the results at this point. He’s a small percentage and he’s so mad at Cruz that I doubt there are many Carson supporters who would support Cruz. I think more of them would go to Trump. Not many would go to Rubio. I think in the end the percentages would be pretty much the same for the other candidates.
