Ben Carson on Friday will become the latest Republican presidential candidate to begin airing television advertising in New Hampshire.īen Carson (R) is a candidate for president in 2016. The MaddowBlog, Ben Carson, Election 2016, Elections and Republicans He’s a longshot anyway, but the fact that so many top officials in his campaign have already resigned suggests the Michigan Republican is not long for this race.Īccording to the Post’s piece, Carson’s only real strategist who’s still part of the team is Armstrong Williams, perhaps best known for his role in a Bush-era scandal in which the conservative commentator was paid to toe the administration’s line in the media. Carson not only has none of these things, he’s actually moving in the opposite direction. Successful presidential candidates need an effective organizational structure to reach voters, disseminate a coherent message, raise resources, and organize a field operation. If his polls remain solid, maybe organizational chaos is irrelevant? In the short term, maybe, but in the long term, no. Carson has never held or sought elected office at any level at any time, and he’s never led any kind of political operation.Ĭarson has nevertheless made clear that his complete lack of relevant experience shouldn’t interfere with the success of his national campaign. In fact, the right-wing neurosurgeon’s troubles are a reminder that presidential politics isn’t nearly as easy as it might look from a distance.

The Post piece added that Team Carson “has been marked by signs of dysfunction and amateurism.” They have not been replaced, campaign aides said. In interviews Friday, Carson’s associates described a political network in tumult, saying the retired neurosurgeon’s campaign chairman, national finance chairman, deputy campaign manager and general counsel have resigned since Carson formally launched his bid last month in Detroit. The presidential candidacy of Ben Carson, a tea party star who has catapulted into the top tier of Republican contenders, has been rocked by turmoil with the departures of four senior campaign officials and widespread disarray among his allied super PACs. But the staffing shake-up at Ben Carson’s headquarters is anything but routine.
