[Dr. Ben Carson’s monumental achievements as a brain surgeon, and as a human being, have made him an obvious favorite, even among people who did not vote for him. But you have to get the votes.]
And not have a rival candidate’s surrogates falsely tweeting that you are dropping out of the race.
I like Dr Ben Carson, but I will not vote for him because I think he would be perfect as Secretary of Health and Human Services, or Surgeon General of the United States
The falsehood couldn’t have succeeded if Carson’s poll numbers weren’t so pathetic. The falsehood succeeded because it seemed plausible to his supporters. I dont approve of the tactic but the Democrats will pull much, much worse shenanigans in the general.
