Neither Carson nor Trump has an organization that can bring folks to the polls or caucus. When is this nonsense season going to end? If either gets to be POTUS, then who do you think they’ll be picking for cabinet positions? Judges? Based upon what? Politics is a skill needed by leaders of large corporations or government. The nonsense claim Trump and Carson are non-politicians is patently ridiculous.
I think this is what Cruz is waiting for.
I read somewhere that Carson and wife are staying in the most expensive hotels when he travels. If you want your campaign money to go as far as it can, you don’t pick the most expensive hotel there is.
Now, this article says:
“An astronomical 69 percent of his fund-raising totals are spent on more fund-raising. In addition to direct mail, Carson seems to have undertaken a massive phone-spamming operation. Armstrong Williams, the figure running the Carson’s campaign, is “business managerâ€, as opposed to “campaign managerâ€. It does suggests that Carson is engaged in a for-profit venture.”
He also took weeks off to travel selling his book. With no ground organization, no workers in states/counties, he’s not running for president - he’s running for money and one can’t spend 69% of the money for making more money as that doesn’t leave enough as you go along to buy/pay for actual campaign expenses to get votes, unless that 69% is immediately bring in more than that.
If he is spending that huge amount of money to make more money, I’d have to know how much money he has in his war chest to see if this is working to give him enough to actually put a ground game together - and he would have to do it fast as time is going away.

there was an artcle posted here that stated that jeb and trump were the only two candidates with the ground game organizations.
maybe you could read or at least think before you speak..
Trump Building Big Ground Game in Iowa
Philip Rucker and Robert Costa, Washington Post: For many Americans, the Trump presidential campaign amounts to a billionaire talking endlessly, and entertainingly, on television. But here in Iowa, it's another story. Trump is trying to beat the politicians on their turf, building one of the most extensive organizations in the Republican field. The groundwork laid by Trump's sizable Iowa staff, with 10 paid operatives and growing, is the clearest sign yet that the unconventional candidate is looking beyond his summer media surge and attempting to win February's first-in-the-nation caucuses. This is becoming a cause of concern for rival campaigns.
