Has Carson campaigned in New Hampshire, South Carolina or anywhere else since? No. He shot himself in the foot with his initial statement and actions. Any competent campaign would would immediately jump on Carson’s unforced error.

The Rubio and Cruz campaigns, being competent, jumped on Carson’s ineptitude. Nothing compelled Carson supporters to caucus for Cruz, Rubio or anyone else. There is no proof that any did. Perhaps Carson owes his supporters an apology for not actually trying to win the race and wasting their votes? If he doesn’t feel up to the task of campaigning, he should go back home and stay there.

Carsons schedule he made prior to Iowa caucus was to go home caucus night, honor his commitment to be at some annual meeting in DC Thursday and FRIDAY be in NH. That was in a story some where on FR days before Iowa caucus. So he stuck with his schedule evidently - that’s why he hasn’t be visible in NH after being blindsided by what happened thru his campaigns honest words to CNN about Ben’s plans, which got twisted up after CNN got and shared Ben’s info.

As far as your “there is no proof”, maybe there are people who are upset and have spoken to investigators, just as the 2 voicemails from Cruz campaign that were left 7:07 and 7:29pm on some one’s home phone were recently reported about not to vote for Ben but to caucus with Cruz.

If you want better info faster maybe go to Iowa and investigate for yourself, otherwise we have to follow on line or TV and make our determinations from info supplied.

Carson seems a good man, he got in to be a voice for honesty and has had to deal with not only Trump bashing on him, but the death of a campaign worker and now the Iowa caucus fiasco. No doubt funding dried up quickly recently especially in light of his coming in 4th.

I wonder why only Cruz is being looked at for possible punishment of some sort, since there were tweets of Rubio’s camp doing the same too, and commentors on fr said Trump was doing it too, but I have not seen evidence of that so far or any mention of other candidates doing it.
