Ben Carson on South Carolina, Super Tuesday, and fighting onward
https://www.yahoo.com/katiecouric/ben-carson-on-south-carolina-super-tuesday-and-151102392.htmlOn what has hurt his campaign in the early voting states, Carson said, “The emphasis on terrorism took a significant toll because a lot of people bought into the narrative that a nice person can’t be tough on terrorists, which is of course not true.” He continued, “We’ve also had to fight the attacks on character. People said all of the things I’ve written about in my life are not true and, of course, as each one was proven to be true, they never come back to say, ‘Oh, we were wrong about that.’”
On radio personality Rush Limbaugh comparing Sen. Ted Cruz to former President Ronald Reagan, Carson said, “I think everybody is entitled to their opinions, and I don’t get into the whole slime pit and start criticizing my opponents who are Republicans.”
Carson would not specifically say who he thinks is behind rumors about his campaign and record, he told Golodryga: “I would imagine that it could be anybody, and I don’t spend a lot of time concentrating on who is behind it because I don’t go after them and do a similar thing.”
On his plan going forward in South Carolina and beyond, Carson said, “Everybody wants to always call the game after the second or third inning. I say let the game play out. Things happen during campaigns, historically, so why call it after the third inning? If we’re going to do that, we should just end it right now.”
