Exactly. It was the Carson's campaign's idiotic statement that started the rumor and it was his campaign's incompetence that didn't clarify it to his supporters.
Carson is not a serious candidate anyway. He took the whole week off after leaving Iowa early Monday evening. Carly Fiorina deserves to be in tonights's debate before Carson.
Carson knew about the problem at 7:53pm and had time to send to his field captains the message that he is not dropping out.
Did Carson do that?
If he did, then there shouldn't be a problem.
If Carson didn't do that, then why not?
