Despite not having a clear path to victory, Ben Carson’s campaign stated Tuesday that they have no intention of dropping out of the 2016 election.
“Well, we clearly don’t know,” Carson’s campaign chairman Bob Dees told former Daily Caller reporter Al Weaver in an article possibly edited by former Daily Caller editor Jim Antle. “We don’t have a well defined path to victory, but we think the opportunity still exists for people to wake up and that’s what we’re hoping.” (RELATED: Ben Carson — ‘I’m Not Dropping Out’)
“Thomas Jefferson talked about that. He said that democracy depends on well-informed voters,” he continued. “He also said that he thought America would go down this path and the people would be manipulated just before it was too late, people would wake up and regain their senses and start doing the right thing. We are hopeful that that occurs, and that along the way, people start doing the right thing.”
Dees further “stated two groups of billionaire types of folks that have pressured” Dr. Carson to give up his quest for the White House.
“Requests like that to subvert the system really galvanize him further and really substantiate the premise of which he’s in this race to start with.”
