Ben Carson has no chance at all to actually win the nomination, and that is painfully clear. He has had no top-3 finishes. His polling is on a downward trajectory. He is not moving ahead to any states that will be friendlier territory than South Carolina, where he just finished dead last.

The fact that he continues to stay in despite having literally zero chance of winning or even having a decent bargaining position in the farflung event of a brokered convention verifies what I have been saying about Carson’s campaign for months – that he is building a fundraising/email list to sell to the highest bidder, and also trying to help his own book sales.

Nothing more, nothing less. His borderline unethical fundraising practices have already been well documented and his willingness to continue to bilk his (largely elderly) fundraising base out of their meager savings for his failed Presidential campaign in order to advance his own personal profile is flatly despicable.
