It was Bens strange behavior for clothes and the actions of his staff that caused all of this. He was the source of all this. Without those stupid actions none of this would have happened.

And it's the rape victim's fault for wearing shorts in the summer, the European sexual assault victim's fault for walking by migrants.

Do you hear yourself?

Do you hear yourself? You’re comparing a (at worst) dirty trick in the middle of a political campaign to a sexual assault.

That’s some Hillary level “war on women” conflation right there.

People lose their jobs over lesser indiscretions. Carson bailing in the middle of crunch time while his team is collapsing sends a fair signal he’s making the smart decision to get out of a race he cannot win. If he is so out of tune with the expectations put on any candidate, so ill-prepared to manage an adverse rumor precipitated by his own actions, I fail to see how this person is really ready to be President.

And another thought. Supposedly he denied the rumor partway through this mess. Fine, Ben, what are we to think? You’re bailing on the campaign for “cloths” (riiight) whilst your campaign machinery is disappearing from under your feet. Do we believe your denial? Has a politician ever denied something that was in fact true? Will those Carson votes really be wasted? Yes they will. They were better spent on Cruz, though others here question if any votes actually changed at all, and that’s a fair question. But if they had, better they go to Cruz than Trump. No value going to Carson.

Peace,

DB has a valid point- you don’t. Why exactly would the Carson people say anything like that to CNN?
