Anyone following the Ben Carson "Fresh Clothes Gate" kerfuffle?

[yellowcanine]

This is funny as shit. First of all, who flies from Iowa to Florida in the middle of a campaign to get "fresh clothes?"
That just doesn't pass the smell test. What, Iowa is so backward they do not have laundromats and dry cleaner establishments? Or Target stores to pick up a couple of shirts? Or does Ben Carson's need to have his Mommy do his laundry because she is the only one who gets it right?

Now Trump is accusing Cruz of stealing Iowa over this because the Cruz campaign put out the word that Carson was withdrawing from the campaign. The is on me folks.

Can't help laughing, can't make up this kind of weirdness for 2016; he doesn't need to fold his underwear, he needs to fold his campaign.

1. His mother is deceased. I want this to backfire on Cruz

Carson will not get the nomination so why make it about him? Cruz is a snake. If he does this to win Iowa, what will he do to win the general?

2. In this case his "Mommy" would be his wife. Going home to get "fresh clothes" is the act of a man

who treats his wife as his Mommy and only she can do his laundry.

Yeah Ted Cruz is a snake but this is weird shit also.

3. Lol. Ok. So true.

4. Maybe 'fresh clothes' means he needs to stare at his portrait over the mantlepiece some more.

6. Iowa didn't have strong chronic like Florida does...so he rushed back home for a bag of good weed.

There is a reason he barely can crack open his eyes...too much good smoke imo.


Piece of cake here I come!

7. It's certainly incredible someone has used the 'Gate' suffix for this

That's the sign of someone with no sense of proportion whatsoever.

9. It was done tongue in cheek. Sense of proportion is fine.
