Exactly.

If he were an experienced politician, he would never have tweeted the “leaving for Florida” message that started all the confusion on caucus evening. Of course other campaigns and news organizations ran with it.

It’s amazing how many have completely lost it on this site.

Is this how it felt to be a BO supporter in 2008?

Carson lost control of things and just figured everybody would wait for his explanation......they didn’t....they put two and two together for obvious reasons.....all adding up to what we see as him leaving the race...but he couldn’t do so on his own terms.

And why was he saying after Florida he was going to the Washington prayer breakfast? This is not someone who is running a race.

Just political naivete. Dr. Carson is in over his head, but is a very good man.

Trump is annoyed that he didn’t hear of Dr. Carson’s plans in time to use it to get votes for himself like Cruz did.

What a circus. All of them.

I liked Carson as an individual......and I think he accomplished what his intentions were. But I didn't see him as ready by any means for the Presidency. Particularly in the state the World and this nation is in. It was interesting to see the stark contrasts between Carson and Trump as individual men...which all could clearly discern. Abundantly clear one was a peacemaker the other a fighter.

That’s why the rumors of him getting out of the race spread so fast. They were just a few days ahead of the fact.

Oh I think Trump knew.....what he says and how things really are often collide in this magical world he creates for consumption.

Cruz is playing the hands he’s dealt while navigating the terrain he’s on.....selective about his responses if or not they need his attention since the media is always up for another story to spin. He expects all this “chatter” and political swings.......while Carson and Trump whine about what’s fair or not.

Rubio looks to be headstrong at taking on what’s thrown his way.....right or wrong he’s going to fight I think. It’ll take some smart doing to take Rubio down....Trump will spew any dirt he can find, unless he’s now Rubio’s new “friend”.

Sure does, now watch who Carson supports........Rubio. Me thinks there is more to this story than meets the eye at this point, kind of like insider trading...I don’t think Carson is innocent in all this mess.

RE:”It's amazing how many have completely lost it on this site.”

They obviously have a unrealistically elevated view of who Trump is and what he can and will do.

Levin calls them cultists, something I used to call the more delusional Palinistas here in 2011,

I knew he was not meant to be a national politician, when Ben Carson spent about three news cycles appearing on TV to convince people that it was true, he really, really did try to stab somebody. And yes he did threaten to hit Mama with a claw hammer, she would confirm it herself if she could.
What a creative way to spend one’s energy and attract new campaign funds. He is a man of science, not of Wall St, K. St, or Wash.D.C.

Carson blew through $50 million and is barely half awake during debates. He is the black Santorum.

"Latest Tweet: Donald Trump is going to sue over this."

Trump will sue everyone who does not vote for him, because obviously, that makes them child molesters and Canadians.

Yep, sounds like they have a Washateria shortage in Iowa.
