Carson Says He’ll Continue to Defy Expectations

Ben Carson told The Hill that he’s “embracing the role of underdog and dismissing those who say he doesn’t have staying power to be the Republican presidential nominee.”

Said Carson: “Everything they’ve predicted from the very beginning has turned out to be false, and that will continue to be the case. They have no concept whatsoever about me or my campaign. They want to fit us in a neat little box, and we just won’t fit there.”

“With almost no institutional support among Republicans or billionaires giving to his supporting super-PACs, Carson’s campaign is being kept afloat almost exclusively by small-dollar donations that have been pouring in since the first Republican debate on Aug 6.”
