Brietbart's Big Government ^ | January 1, 2016 | Matthew Boyle

Armstrong Williams, a close confidant and business manager for Dr. Ben Carson, told Breitbart News exclusively on Friday that Carson is confident he will re-emerge as a formidable candidate, place top three in Iowa, and win South Carolina--and eventually win the GOP nomination in 2016.

"He remains in control," Williams said in a phone interview. "He made the changes that were necessary to give him the best chance to surge again to place first, second or third in Iowa, to win South Carolina, and establish the necessary momentum to win the GOP nomination."

Both Carson campaign manager Barry Bennett and communications director Doug Watts resigned on New Year's Eve, a major campaign shake-up just a month before voting begins in the Iowa caucuses on February 1. Their resignation came even as Carson's team says they raked in $23 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, more than Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 's impressive nearly $20 million.

I don’t understand why Carson is so dedicated to this Armstrong Williams weirdo. It’s been reported this guy has ties with Farrahkan or something similarly shady.

Carson better bring more than his Mother Hammer and blade if he plans
to take down Trump or Cruz.

I predict every candidate will make a “comeback” until the day he/she withdraws from the race.

Williams is likely a paid double agent of the leftist Congressional Black Caucus, that is seeking to politically scuttle their Uncle Tom Carson for straying off the leftist reservation.

If Carson had any smartz at all, he would give Williams his walking papers.

Williams is a self-serving wackjob. Carson’s campaign is all about the cash

So, within a week we can start expecting “soaring” poll numbers and “Carson surging” articles and stories?

The problem with Dr. Carson’s campaign is not the campaign.

Armstrong Williams was originally a reliable conservative: started out on the staff of ol’ Storm Thunder, R-SC. Something must have happened.

He must of dumped the doggy downers and gotten some puppy uppers! His campaign is going to need a whole lot of energy on his part to revitalize. It doesn’t matter how good your ideas may be if you put your audience to sleep.
