Never considered your husband’s idea that Carson did it on purpose, but the idea intrigues me. Although I’ve been puzzling over what Carson’s up to for some time — that’s like the third announced hiatus. None of them actually came to much — the book tour supposedly wasn’t a complete hiatus, and he was only out a couple of days after his supporter’s car wreck — but at the same time I really get the feeling Carson’s eye is not on the ball.
Why would Carson do it on purpose, though? What’s he trying to accomplish? His hypocrisy in trying to hold Cruz accountable for a supporter’s acts while refusing to be responsible for the report put out by his own people was a major turn off.
My husband thought he knew it would be announced and speculated over prior to the caucus and he would use it to explain his numbers, as an excuse. We all hate the media anyhow. My mother says Carson hasn’t been serious since his book tour.
I haven’t paid attention to Carson since his Ferguson visit where he seemed to go along with the hands up narrative—that ticked me off. I did start paying attention to him recently, after he went on the Levin show recently. My son likes Carson a LOT. Carson was his choice.
