Carson’s campaign confirmed the West Point scholarship lie.
This is serious, and IMO, borders on Stolen Valor.
I’d agree, but maybe Carson’s supporters don’t care?
I don’t think either Carson or Trump would make good nominees and believe they both frequently say things that are absurd, ridiculous, etc, but so far supporters of those candidates don’t seem to care what they say.
For all we know Carson could just say it was a mistake, he will ask God for forgiveness, and move along with his book tour. His supporters may accept that. Heck it is even possible that any candidate that attacks him too hard over this gets damaged along the way.
The regular rules don’t apply to this campaign yet. They most likely will, eventually, but right now people like who they like and not much sways them.
