Krauthammer: The Problem with Carson Isn’t Staff; ‘The Problem Is the Candidate’

‘The problem is that once we had the Paris attack and the attack here in the United States, it became an election dominated by terrorism ... And that’s not his strong suit’

BREAM: "I want to make sure we get in Ben Carson. There was an interesting A.P. Article, an interview with him as campaign manager wasn’t in or didn’t know about it, talking about there would be some personnel changes. There were a lot of questions about what’s going on with shaking up his campaign. We have statement after all the reaction saying I have 100% confidence in my campaign team. We’re refining some operational practices and streamlining some staff assignments.
KRAUTHAMMER: "You know how to read that. His problem is not staff, I’m not sure it’s organization. Yes, he’s collected a lot of money and gone through a ton of it with little result. The problem is the candidate. And the problem is that once we had the Paris attack and the attack here in the United States, it became an election dominated by terrorism. Essentially by foreign affairs. And that’s not his strong suit. To say the least. And as a result, he has fallen like a stone. 

"That’s nothing to do with organization, I don’t see how he recovers. I hope he’s got, he’s got a little bit of time. I don’t see how you’re able to make a forceful stand on that. If you can’t, you’re out of the race. I never thought he had much of a chance at any  point in the race, but when it turned as a result of external events, I think it dealt him out. The only question is he’s got about 10 percent, it looks as if Cruz has gotten a lot of the Carson support in Iowa. But Trump appears to have gotten a lot of it nationally. So where does the other 10 percent go? We’ll see."
