Wow, that’s gotta sting. I did like the campaign manager’s post-resignation speech:
“We respect the candidate and we have enjoyed helping him go from far back in the field to top tier status," he continued. "Having just announced raising $23 million for the fourth quarter, more than any other Republican candidate, and passing 1 million contributions and over 600,000 unique donors since March, we are proud of our efforts for Dr. Carson and we wish him and his campaign the best of luck.”
Translation: “Attention healthier campaigns: We are discreet enough not to speak ill of our former employer, and we are excellent at bringing in money; please hire us.”

Assuming that this spells the end of Carson, it would free up some of the evangelical vote. It will be interesting to see whether Santorum or Huckabee can make anything out of this in Iowa.
Carson’s share of the votes keeps dropping, but I imagine whatever is left will be mostly split between Cruz and Trump.

Yeah zero chance for Huckabee and Santorum. They are non-factors.

Carson’s votes have been going to Cruz and will likely continue to.
After all God literally talks to him, accord to Cruz.
Jeb!'s campaign has to be the sad-trombonest trainwreck in the history of politics:
Lexington, South Carolina (CNN)Jeb Bush, in what was meant to be a light-hearted moment Wednesday, nicknamed a South Carolina elected official “Hurricane Katrina,” a reference to a tragedy that killed nearly 2,000 people and is regarded as a low point in his brother’s presidency.
State Sen. Katrina Shealy introduced Bush before his town hall at the iconic Hudson’s Smokehouse here, just outside of Columbia. When Bush took the stage, he attempted to praise Shealy, the only woman in the state senate for the previous three years.
“I don’t know why your great state senator reminds me of a hurricane. But she does. She’s strong and she’s fierce, and she’s solving problems for you at the state capitol,” he continued. “You should be honored to have her as your elected official. I hope you agree with that. That should be your nickname. In the Bush family, we always give out nicknames. Yours is now Hurricane Katrina.”
Jeb:(
Did anyone post the Darth Trump video yet? It’s a bit long, but the editing is great.
Most of the trump quotes don’t make sense for the scene they are in.
That was great. Its exactly how I imagined Trump would react in those situations. Just blathering about how great he is doing.
Talking about the deal on steaks or getting a smart and mean general? Very good.
Yeah, I think the joke is that he just goes on self-promoting and everyone else looks at him incredulously and then just ignores him.
Yeah, this exactly.
But enough about his campaign speeches and debate appearances, what do you think of the video?
I notice the current Republican establishment never ever plays the soundbite where Reagan says that if the bus driver pays a higher percentage of his income as tax than the multi-millionaire, “that’s crazy.” Because currently they’re all about that and to change the laws so it weren’t so would be “punishing success.”
There are not enough facepalm pictures on the WWW to react to this.

I used to think Jeb was pretty smart. Now, I’m honestly not sure. He’s certainly not quick on his feet.

To think when this first started I thought that Jeb was the one to beat. Well, live and learn.

Now now, let’s be fair. “Jeb”. The curtains match the drapes, to be crude.
Damn it people. It’s “Jeb!”, not “Jeb”. You’re missing the excitement he brings.
