Well it is there money.  I am sure he is not playing with his money thinking this way.

"I'm not getting any pressure from our millions of supporters (to leave the race). I'm getting a lot of pressure to make sure I stay in the race," Carson told CNN's Jake Tapper on "The Lead." "You know, they're reminding me that I'm here because I responded to their imploring me to get involved. And I respect that and I'm not just going to walk away from the millions of people who are supporting me."

That's a surprise after he was slumming trying to pick up VP.  And he didn't even care which candidate.

Moved post out side of quote.
walks

His people are making a killing on their mail operation.

Well.... alot can happen in a week, maybe... like a stray comet hits & kills the other candidates in South Carolina, while Carson's in Florida, changing his underwear... yeah, I guess you could say he has a chance, right?

This is very good. He needs the exposure so he can be the vice President for the next President Trump.

Here's my post to RD.
No, that Trump is maxed out, that polls are not weighing properly, that he under performs compared to what polling claims.
going into the caucuses, Trump stood at 28.6 percent in the Real Clear Politics Average. He finished with only 24 percent 24.3, actually on Caucus night.

Trump is at 60% negative, meaning there is no way for him to improve that score, that when a candidate drops out, he WILL NOT pick up their support because Cruz has the highest percentage of 2nd choice across the board.
In other words? Trump is a side show to the real battle against the Establishment.
Rubio is in Cruz sites, not Trump, he's more like a zit on the ass, you know it's there but since you don't have to look at it, you can ignore it till it disappears.

That is the built-in ceiling for Trump.   A couple of weeks ago, some talk show said Trump's negatives were 77%, heck, I don't know if that dropped, or some huge rounding error, polling error - I don't claim to know how they do that stuff.  60% negative - not 60% "don't know the guy", it's 60% can't stand the guy!   He is hurting himself.

I used the 60% because that's the conservative number, I too have heard even higher, especially when you consider he's only pulling 25% of the vote

yeah, you're right, 77% is a little unbelievable.   75% negative sounds about right.

He has as much chance of winning the SC primary as I do, slim and none.

He may not win big or st all but he will make a good show for the outcome of being the vice president

If he pulls a handful of delegates he could become "The King Maker" In a close convention by putting his support behind one candidate or another.
