Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson announced Wednesday that he sees no “political path forward” after his Super Tuesday losses -- and will not attend the upcoming Fox News debate.
“I have decided not to attend the Fox News GOP Presidential Debate tomorrow night in Detroit,” he said in a statement Thursday. “Even though I will not be in my hometown of Detroit on Thursday, I remain deeply committed to my home nation, America. I do not see a political path forward in light of last evening’s Super Tuesday primary results.
“However, this grassroots movement on behalf of “We the People” will continue. Along with millions of patriots who have supported my campaign for President, I remain committed to Saving America for Future Generations.”

Sigh.
I’m going to miss him on the SNL debate skits.
The guy who does Carson is magic.
A decent man who was in WAY over his head.

He didn’t have one for a long time, wonder why he decided to bail now.
What he really means to say....Thanks for the ride. I have enough book deals and speeches for life.
Wouldn't it be nice if he volunteered at a Veteran's hospital. Never happen.
Trump should not attend the fox debate either. That would leave bubbles rubio vs liar cruz vs my dad was a mailman kasick.
God’s speed Dr. Carson. May all your books sell out!
By not suspending his campaign, he keeps his delegates rather than having them reassigned to other candidates.
Ok, are you really leaving or just play acting to bump your books some more?
This is like a sorta drop out without using the words. He also said that he would tell us more at CPAC.
Gope payoff.
Stay in Ben.
Love ya man.
a useful place can be found for him in the next admin
Now Rubio, Kacinich, and Trump should get out.
Sounds like he is not dropping out of the race. Maybe he likes flying around the country,staying in nice hotels, and being in the limelight.
What debate? Carson was just going to be on stage with a ring side seat for the Trump vs. Cruz/Rubio tag team bout.
I agree. It’s like getting into a boxing ring with 5 opponents. Not a bit of fairness in sight.
