“Carson has no campaign events listed on his official campaign website. Why?”
How do you think I know? I was never a Carson supporter, but as a human being I can empathize with someone who has been screwed around in something that is huge in that person’s life. I know how I would feel if it were me.
It is ABSURD to claim that someone is dropping out of a race after he has invested enormous amounts of time, money, and effort in trying to achieve a victory, just PRIOR to the vote. Even if it were in his plans, candidates just do no do that. Carson truly was robbed of his votes. I think he should play the race card.
And, it would not occur to his opponents as a likely thing, unless their plan was to blatantly deceive, knowing the voters had no reason to even question the the lie.
Jake Tapper said that CNN’s report that Carson would not go to NH and SC came directly from Carson. If he didn’t want that reported he should not have spoken to CNN about it. If anybody stole from Carson it was CNN, but I don’t think they can be blamed for reporting what Carson had told them directly.
As one of the IA caucus-goers here said, it seems like Carson’s supporters knew his campaign was suspended to deal with the car accident that took the life of one of their workers, and the campaign had never really started up again. His NH workers had all quit to join the Cruz campaign. His campaign website has no campaign events listed. He had told Hannity that if he didn’t win the first couple primaries he would drop out, and he wasn’t doing anything necessary to win either one. The writing was pretty much on the wall even without CNN’s report, but Carson talking to CNN so they could make this 11th-hour suggested that he didn’t mind his supporters knowing that he wouldn’t be campaigning for the primaries he said he needed to win in order to stay in the race.
