One thing he did learn from strump, is how to play the media...he knows there is nothing to it, but they too must protect the black boy.
Shame on Carson, shame, shame. Article is correct, Cruz apologized (even thought he did no wrong) which usually is the end of any misunderstanding, but no. Carson knows he can carry this on forever by insulting Cruz further and Cruz will never respond in like because Carson is the Black boy.
The bottom line of Carson's campaign now is I'm the black boy you can't touch me.
Armstrong connected to FartTheCon? You don’t say..... hmmmmm
Neither the Carson campaign nor CNN ever said Carson was quitting. That’s the central fact that you just can’t obfuscate away. If Ted gave a weaselly non-apology apology, so much the worse. Keep digging.
Read the timeline. It is so easy to follow even a caveman can understand it:

I think Cruz turns this to his advantage tonite.
I hope he’s got something ready. Because as sure as FR’s He Man Cruz Haters Club sounds like a broken record you know there’ll be at least a couple of questions devoted to this non-issue with the sole intention of inviting a pile on.
Read it. Doesn’t change the fact that there was no such announcement from Carson. All the chatter on CNN was clearly just commentators’ opinion, and the Cruzers turned that into “suspending his campaign”, something the Carson camp never said.
He will. Trump will pay a price for his hyperbole along with Carson.
What Cruz’s campaign did was wrong and someone should be fired. Carson is overplaying it and has lost credibility.
Obviously you just don’t want to give Cruz the benefit of the doubt, even with the mountain of evidence his campaign acted in good faith.
I am coming across conflicting reports as to who started the rumor about Carson quitting. Was it CNN and Rubio or was it Cruz?
Horowitz and Conservative Review are Mark Levin’s hacks. Of course they are going to bash Dr. Carson. He’s speaking out against their Sainted boy Cruz.
Not that many people like to admit to being duped.
And even fewer like to announce who they voted for.
There is no such evidence, and nothing Cruz has said or done leads me to have any good faith in him.
I watched the report and clearly, though not saying the words “Carson is quitting” they said it in every other way...”no person serious about running does this”, it is very curious, he is not going to New Hampshire, he is not going to South Carolina, he is giving an announcement regardless of the outcome...on and on like that. People, especially politicians “speak” with their ACTIONS while saying different things with their words. They are so wily that we have to extrapolate by what they do. The media were clearly indicating and interpreting these behaviors as “quitting behaviors.”
If you saw a sports team you were betting on send in their second tier players, knew they were already packing their gear up while the game was on, noticed their bus warming up outside the arena...would you change your bet if you still could? He signaled quitting, whether by accident or design and it was up to him to correct that impression that he gave. He or his staff goofed up.
He could have used Obama Admin lying about IRS, Obama admin lying about Fast and Furious or any of the other lies this Administration has perpetrated against America. He could have used Hillary lying about her server....but no, he had to try to use Benghazi.
Horowitz’s article lost me with the first sentence. I don’t don’t respect ad hominem attacks.
What gives? the answer is campaign advisors. Carson had 3 types of advisors:
1. The money raisers who told him what to say and do to raise money. They raised a lot of money and kept a big chunk for themselves.
2. Armstrong Williams, Carson’s close friend of many years and a reliable conservative; but also a unique personality.
3. Traditional campaign staff.
There was friction between the 3 groups. Many of group #1 and group #3 quit.
The result was that Carson now depends more than any canidate should on one advisor who is a good person, but not suited for the massive task Carson faces.
That Carson could not more effectively choose and manage his staff is a measure of his readiness to be President.
The single most important job of a President is in choosing the right staff and keeping them going in the same direction.
Pathetic
Let me put it plainly, and I wish that the Cruz campaign had. Carson's campaign for some idiotic reason put out language that to any reasonable political observer (Given the state of his campaign) would interpret as him quitting the race. His campaign took advantage of it.
People on this site are constantly complaining that the Republicans (see McCain, Romney) never want to take it to the Democrats. Every election we hear from FReepers why didn't our candidate go for the throat. I want a candidate who's smart enough to recognize an opening and has no qualms about going in to debowel their opponent.
