I feel sorry for him. I think he’s a good guy and he seemed really tired. It’s not like him to be grudging, and he held strong on the fact that sharia is opposed to the US Constitution. His campaign had experienced tragic loss and he was good to take time off to care for his IA team. I do think he deserved to be able to announce his resignation on his own terms, and that’s why I’m really sad that the message got out to CNN who made it fair game for both Rubio and Cruz to talk about. I think Cruz felt sorry about it too, and that may be why he apologized.

I don’t think Cruz did anything wrong, but I wish for Carson’s sake that it had not gone like this. And I fear that somebody is either agitating him or trying to milk this for all it’s worth - which, if so, is scummy. The man has run a good race and should be able to have his announcement and be able to rest.

I hate politics. I really, really hate politics, because it brings out the worst in people.

He was out of his league to start with......which is why once his staff began breaking off should have been a heads up to Carson right then. He simply doesn’t know the terrain. Instead he talked them back....and it went downhill from there.

Cruz apoligized NOT that the information got out, for it was already out there, but for Cruz staffs failure to tweet out Casons denial that he wasn’t leaving the race. Which in reality was up to Carson to do and should have been done in a news cycle rather than just a tweet.

Also.....Carson really wasn’t up to snuff to run for President in the first place.......would a politician step into his surgical suites and attempt brain surgery on one of his patients? This is exactly what Ben was doing in this race for President. For he was more than qualified to seek the Surgeon General position without running.
