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.
Carson's percentage of the vote total was close to what he had been polling for weeks, and was exactly what the entrance poll projected. Trump just can't handle being a loser, so he has to be a SORE loser.
