Carson suspends presidential campaign
Fox News ^ | March 4, 2016

Posted on 03/04/2016 2:48:35 PM PST by jazusamo

BREAKING: Former neurosurgeon Ben Carson dropped out the 2016 presidential race Friday, days after declaring there was “no political path forward” for his campaign.

In a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Carson said “I am leaving the campaign trail,” but promised he would remain heavily involved “in saving our nation.”

The announcement was widely expected. On Wednesday Carson sent a message to supporters saying, “I do not see a political path forward in light of last evening’s Super Tuesday primary results” and he did not attend Thursday’s Fox News debate in Detroit.

In Friday's wide-ranging speech, Carson warned against a growing debt, overreaching government social programs and a general breakdown of morals in the country.

I thought Carson dropped out weeks ago.

Must have been a dirty trick.

Best of luck to you dr. Carson, in all you do.

You are a great American and patriot, an unbelievable Neurosurgeon, and an honest, and good Christian person.

God will use you as you go forward to help many people, and to continue to help our nation.

Ted Cruz just tricked Carson into beliving he is dropping out of the race, by getting him to spread a rumor about it during CPAC !

Trump has won all 11 debates, even the one he missed because of Fox demeaning him.

Don’t waste your votes on Kasich in Ohio, a vote for John is a vote for a brokered convention.

By then Trump will have over 400 delegate to Kasich maybe 30 delegates. Kasich says even if he wins Ohio he needs to get almost 70% of the remaining delegates.

Ohio vote Trump and lets end this GOP Bloodletting before it results in Hillary winning.

If Trump wins Florida and Ohio we can bring this to a conclusion and destroy the Establishment GOP like they deserve to die.

"Our pillars of strength are faith and family," Carson said. "As those things are being eroded, you see what is happening to our nation."

And Donald Trump is the defender of both?

Carson will probably endorse Trump since he is the only outsider who didn’t rob his votes in Iowa.

Lyin Ted has zero chance of getting the Carson followers.

I just watched him on OAN at CPAC. Proud to have voted for him last Tuesday. I wish him the best. I truly believe it is the country’s loss. :(

Probably Cruz and Trump slit the bounty equally.

I believe Dr. Carson is a great man of the highest character and morality. I think he also has wonderful leadership abilities, but that he would have been eaten alive as president.

If he wants to be in government in a way that improves lives, I think he’d be a very good Surgeon General.

Best of luck, Dr C!

I’m pretty sure the only people that really think Cruz stole anything from Carson are already voting for trump and have been from the beginning.

I’m also pretty positive no one really believes it.

Hugs and best wishes to Dr. and Mrs. Carson.

I think you’re a great guy and I hope to see many wonderful positive things from you in the future. You are an amazing, positive role model for people all over.

Thank you, Dr. Carson. You will be missed in this race.

I really like him, as a person. It is a shame he didn’t do better, but he has done so much in his life as it is.
