Carson suggests campaign shake-up is coming

The Wall Street Journal reports that while Carson was bragging on Twitter about bringing in a $10 million haul in October – the month that Carson was also leading the Iowa polls – his campaign really raised just $8.8 million and had already tossed $9.5 million out the door.

The retired neurosurgeon, who for a time this fall appeared to be a viable candidate for the GOP presidential nomination, is preparing to reorganize his campaign amid tumbling poll numbers and underwhelming debate performances. CNN previously reported in that Carson’s marketing crusade was in crisis & in that the unorthodox structure of the neophyte politician’s marketing crusade was proving to be a legal responsibility. Everything is on the table, every job is on the table. Carson also participated in an interview Wednesday with the Washington Post. “We know who they are”.

Lemon repeatedly pressed Carson on specific changes he wants to make to his campaign.

Following an afternoon meeting with some of his paid advisers Wednesday – a group that did not include Williams – Carson said in a statement that while he has 100 percent confidence in his campaign team, “we are refining some operational practices and streamlining some staff assignments to more aptly match the tasks ahead”. “And we’re going to analyze it very carefully”, Carson told the Post.

“We have come a long way and accomplished great things together, and together we look forward to winning in Iowa and beyond”, Carson noted in the above-noted article by the Washington Post.

“I certainly don’t expect to get through a campaign without some scratches and bruises”, Carson said.

Carson has struggled to convey a grasp of foreign policy, an issue that rocketed to the top of GOP voters’ concerns after the terror attacks in Paris and San Bernardino.

A New Jersey grand jury is expected to say Wednesday whether it will indict the truck driver who crashed into a limo carrying Tracy Morgan, killing one man and severely injuring the comedian.

That notion is “not true, but now I’m talking about it”, he said.

“We had our standard 3:30 p.m. call and I asked him about the story”. Carson visited two Syrian refugee camps in November on a quick “fact-finding” journey after Thanksgiving, which he has since publicized in an attempt to gain credibility on the controversy over admitting Syrian refugees into the United States. Meanwhile, primary rival Cruz has seized the moment with bombastic national security rhetoric.

In Iowa last week, he reverted to the heart of his strategy which pegs him as a political outsider, pitching his poverty-to-fame autobiography, unabashed Christian faith and unceasing indictment of conventional politics, and he largely steered clear of national security and foreign policy. He has fallen to fourth in polls in Iowa and in national polls.
