Maybe not too surprising, I guess, but Carson was hanging in there as Mr. No.2 for a while:
Three of Ben Carson's top advisers, including campaign manager Barry Bennett, quit Thursday following an internal power struggle, a sharp decline in the polls and a week of confusion about who would remain on the former neurosurgeon's presidential campaign team.
"Barry Bennett and I have resigned from the Carson campaign effective immediately," said departed communications director Doug Watts in a statement to The Washington Post. "We respect the candidate and we have enjoyed helping him go from far back in the field to top tier status." Hours later, Carson’s deputy campaign manager Lisa Coen also submitted her resignation.

The man should be given credit 1) for even trying even though he had no credentials for running in a presidential campaign and 2) staying with it as long as he has. I never once felt Ben Carson ever had a chance to win any election let alone become president of the U. S.

Ben's campaign generated the most unique headline I have ever seen in politics.
"Carson denies allegation that he did NOT try to stab a child"
Awesome!

I pretty much thought he needed to get his head examined.
