Ben Carson to tell supporters he sees no ‘path forward’ for campaign
Source: Washington Post
Ben Carson, the retired neurosurgeon who briefly led the Republican presidential race before his campaign began an extended public implosion, will tell his supporters in a statement Wednesday afternoon that he does not see a “path forward” and will not attend Thursday’s debate in Detroit, according to two Republicans familiar with his plans.
Carson, however, will not formally suspend his campaign. Instead, the Republicans said, he has decided to make a speech about his political future on Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland, just outside of Washington.
But the announcement will serve as an acknowledgment that Carson’s candidacy is all but over following a disappointing showing in the 11 states that held contests on Tuesday.
The decision follows months of candidate stumbles, staff infighting and strategy shifts derailing what had once appeared to be an unstoppable journey to conservative super¬stardom. It also marks the coming departure of the only major the only major African American candidate in the 2016 presidential race.

You have been the only reservoir of peaceful, soothing repose
in the midst of the insanity of the GOP debates.
On edit: I had not seen the two posted pictures until I put up my post. Well done, fellow DUers.
Of course they like Santorum too. 
But...I dunno.... maybe I'll just....lay down here for a bit......
