Whiny Ben Carson wouldn’t be at the Fox News debate on Thursday to whine about lack of questions. Unless this is another attempt to gain sympathy like what he pulled in Iowa, it looks like Ben Carson is REALLY about to drop out of the race, FINALLY. According to the Washington Post, Carson will skip the Fox News debate in Detroit and will make a speech about his political future on Friday at CPAC in Maryland. While it sounds like Carson may finally be toast, he still has not indicted if he will suspend his campaign yet.
Ben Carson skipping Fox debate, no ‘path forward’ |
---|
Ben Carson, the retired neurosurgeon who briefly led the Republican presidential race before his campaign began an extended public implosion, will tell his supporters in a statement Wednesday afternoon that he does not see a “path forward” and will not attend Thursday’s debate in Detroit, according to two Republicans familiar with his plans.
Carson, however, will not formally suspend his campaign. Instead, the Republicans said, he has decided to make a speech about his political future on Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland, just outside of Washington.
But the announcement will serve as an acknowledgement that Carson’s candidacy is all but over following a disappointing showing in the 11 states that held contests on Tuesday.
Now if only Kasich would do the same. If we could have just Cruz, Trump and Rubio in the debate, it would be perfect. We don’t need to hear from slap-chop Kasich about how his daddy was a mailman or something.
