“going home to change clothes’ is just an excuse for “going home to reevaluate whether I should drop out”.
Everyone knows it. IMHO, Carson may have good intentions in running for President, but I wonder how many of his BOOK SIGNING/SALES Events happened to be in or near places he was ‘campaigning’ ?
Was that the reason he first indicated/stated/let someone on his staff slip out that he wasn’t going to New Hampshire or South Carolina ? No book sales scheduled ?
Now, he has to go, or his donors will withdraw their funds.
Many of the candidates are in this for the money. Let’s not try to lie to ourselves. Ben Carson may be a completely upright person with totally honest intentions. but he looks like another one of those who were allowed to run so as to dilute the field/votes for the top candidates while raking in the donor cash, then deciding where the key point to drop out is.
I certainly saw Ben Carson as an upright person when he started running, but no longer. The hypocrisy of his “Cruz is responsible for whatever his staffers do but I have no responsibility for mine” interview shocked me. Hopefully someone makes him watch it someday and brings him to his senses, because I still think he’s probably a good guy, just currently overwhelmed by a situation he can’t cope with.
