Carson is the sore loser, the Iowa Governor and Secretary of State are cogs in the Ethanol Machine, and of course there’s Trump, another sore loser. All have axes to grind.

I will research what Steyn had to say about this issue to get a more dispassionate third-party take.

I must admit, I’m flabbergasted that is it now considered sleazy for a politician to ask people to vote for him on election day.

Let’s be honest here, Carson is dropping out. Apparently he was not smart enough to the see the hand writing on the wall that was so plain to so many even on Iowa caucus day. And seriously, leaving on the day of the caucus to fly home and get clean clothes??? How can someone running at the national level be so clueless regarding the optics of that! What person who has not been following politics for any length of time would not read his actions any other way than to conclude he was dropping out? BTW, he did the same thing in NH! He left on election day and didn’t stick around to thank his supporters.

Ben Carson is an impressive man, but he is not ready for political prime-time and his troubles are of his own making. Let’s not blame Cruz for them.

Carson is polling 4th and is AHEAD of Bush AND he is flush with cash. He pulled in 24 million at the end of the year...more than ANY other candidate. He has cut staff to be able to fund himself all the way to Cleveland.

He has a decent shot at winning/placing in Michigan and/or Maryland, his 2 home states.

“I must admit, I’m flabbergasted that is it now considered sleazy for a politician to ask people to vote for him on election day.”

A man murdered his daughter and fed her to the pigs. In prison, he complained that the nation was so corrupt that it would put a man in prison because he took care of his livestock.
