Let’s say that there was a rumor floating around that Carson was going to quit the race ( regardless of where it came from (CNN was reporting it as well ) ).
I can’t believe that Iowa voters ( and Carson supporters ) are so DUMB that they would not double check to see if this story is true or not before casting their vote. I mean this isn’t the 19th century where there is no internet or cable news.
As a Cruz supporter, I know I’d double check first if I heard news floating around saying that Cruz had quit before casting my vote.
So, to say that Carson’s 4th place showing was CAUSED by the rumor is just that — BALONEY.
Carson just did not have enough supporters in Iowa, rumor or not. PERIOD.
