Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson’s presidential campaign plans to cut more than 50 paid staffers, according to a Thursday report from The Washington Post.
Carson’s campaign, which was once considered a real challenge to Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, plans to cut loose employees in field operations and at its Virginia headquarters, according to the report. Senior aides, such as retired Army general Robert F. Dees, are expected to remain.
Carson adviser Armstrong Williams told the Post that the decision was on the table for weeks, but the campaign wanted to wait until after the Iowa caucuses.
“One issue for a while has been too much infrastructure and he has decided to fully address it so that he can sustain his campaign until the convention,” Williams told the Post.

Well, that explains a lot. Obviously they were firing the gopher, so nobody was around to see that Carson’s clothes were laundered. So clearly,he had to jump on a jet and fly home to Florida for a few days before flying on to NH. Its all about saving the money.
Are these JOKERS for real!
For the most part, running for POTUS is a huge grift, with all manner of jobless con artists available to jump on the fast and loose gravy train every four years!
If I could get paid $200,000-$250,000 every few years, I could stretch it out and not really work much either. It sounds fun, as I’m not one for a daily grind!
When you fly half way across the country just to change clothes it really cuts into the budget.
more proof that the government CAN make jobs…
