Carson Decides He’s Toast – Stops Wasting Dough On Campaign

(CNN)

CarsonToastBen Carson doesn’t “see a political path forward” in the Republican presidential nomination process, and will not attend Thursday’s GOP presidential debate in his hometown of Detroit, he said in a statement.

But Carson stopped short of saying he was officially leaving the race. [However] in an email to supporters, campaign chairman Bob Dees said the “political efforts must come to a close.”

Carson said he will go into more detail during an appearance at the Conservative Political Action Committee Conference near Washington on Friday.

Sour Grapes? Carson adviser, Armstrong Williams, suggested that Trump had the race wrapped up, and that none of the others had a pathway forward, either.

The signs of trouble have been plain to see for a few months, as we noted here, and here.

Dr Ben’s still a great guy, still a renowned surgeon, and has a wonderful wife. It is time to retire to Florida with his reputation intact, and to promote the conservative cause as an influential citizen. Who knows – Florida may be tired of its young senator about now…..
