Ben Carson, the retired neurosurgeon who briefly led the Republican presidential race before his campaign began an extended public implosion, will tell his supporters in a statement Wednesday afternoon that he does not see a "path forward" and will not attend Thursday's debate in Detroit, according to two Republicans familiar with his plans.
Carson, however, will not formally suspend his campaign. Instead, the Republicans said, he has decided to make a speech about his political future on Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland, just outside of Washington.
But the announcement will serve as an acknowledgment that Carson's candidacy is all but over following a disappointing showing in the 11 states that held contests on Tuesday.

Nope. Carson is one of the outsiders. His support will mostly go to the other outsider or go away. Much support for the outsiders are people who mostly gave up voting or never bothered to vote.
they are not interested in the career card-carrying politicians.
Trump’s #’s go up slightly if he drops out
Great . I think I saw somewhere that the Carson would go to Cruz as a #2.
Carson was getting 10% in some states last at various points.
Kaisch should drop out next.
I think Trump knew he was getting out last night. It was something he said about Carson. Trying to remember and it hit me when he said it.
FOR THOSE who still cant grasp the appeal for TRUMP
I submit my tagline - Watch and see.
HOWEVER, CARSON DID NOT ..... SUSPEND ..... HIS CAMPAIGN.
DON’T ANYBODY FALL FOR THIS PLOY.
Watch and see...perfect.
Just don’t think you’re going to get the result you think...IF Rubio leaves the race.
Can’t blame him..he would not get more than one or two easy questions...
This will be another ‘bash Trump’ by the Fox’s THREE MUSKETEERS...and I hope the last one by them...Fox has many others that could make better Moderators...
Fox is killing their ratings, day by day...
The following shows what kind of good, kind decent doctor he really is.
During a September 2006 meeting of the President’s Council on Bioethics, members debated whether it’s appropriate for a surgeon to remove organs for donation from a patient who isn’t dead, but is on the verge of it.
“You know the surgeon in me says, you know, if somebody is irreversibly injured, they are not going to come back to a functional state, and if [there is] somebody else who could use their organs, we should take the organ and give it to the one that can stop going through all this silliness,” Carson said in remarks that have not been widely reported. “But I recognize that I’m not speaking as a surgeon today. I’m speaking as a member of the Presidents Council on Bioethics.”
Never could understand his appeal. I have found him to be disingenuous at best...
You don’t have to believe the tagline for what it says to be true. I think you know its true, anyway. Bully for you.
But History will not allow you to deny it.
Watch TRUMP make American history, while the others all fade back into their own necessary roles
Besides, its clear to anyone that Cruz has reached the end of the road, dumping Beck won’t even help him now.
Please, attack him! Mention his name!
-PJ
ahhh, I see....you’re one of THOSE trump supporters....duly noted.
You are ONE of THOSE people who cant wean themselves off the DC insiders being the know-all, end all of politics.
TRUMP & his supporters say otherwise.
Anyway, hang around for the show (I know you will)
