The GOP doesn’t want a self-funded candidate. He would owe nobody anything, and certainly not them.
Ben Carson cannot self-fund and compete, not even if he took the ‘campaign’ dollars that are part of the national presidential election fund. It would be so much less than the democrats bring to the table that it would be unilateral disarmament.
Ben Carson MUST go to the big dollar donors eventually and beg for money. They WILL get assurances that he’ll live up to his word to push their agenda. They will want his soul.
I think they want Donald to take Ben out so they can paint him as a racist. Any attack on his record or what his “advisers” do will be painted as racist. Put him in second place, no longer center stage and let Donald be Donald. That is the strategy, I think.
This is what came out of Texas. This goes right to Bushes and the GOPe. The long knives are coming out.
