Is Ben Carson Running for President?

[ That's actually about average. Hillary Clinton is spending 86% of her fundraising on more fundraising: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc ... ng/410839/ ]

That's not remotely what that article says. And conjecture? Are you **** kidding me?

Next time you try to disprove something (never mind the ridiculous claim that it's actually about average that you pulled right out of your ass) don't use a source that actually affirms the original claim, the amount of money Carson spend on fundraising is unusual:

In Carson’s case, a majority of what he’s raising is being plowed right back into fundraising costs—$11.2 million of the nearly $20.8 million. That means 54 cents out of every dollar Carson raises is going to raise more money. Carson’s campaign only spent roughly $3 million on everything else—merchandise, office supplies, field staff, space, travel, and so on. Compare that to Clinton, whose biggest expenses included media buys, payroll, and online advertising, spending that’s designed to build a real campaign infrastructure and future strategy. She’s also spending significantly more on rent. (A headquarters in downtown Brooklyn doesn’t come cheap.)

We're left with a few possibilities: you couldn't comprehend the original claim, you couldn't comprehend that the article you linked actually agreed with the original claim, or you were so eager to prove him wrong you didn't bother to read the article in the first place.

But you are right about one thing, reading comprehension is a fantasy land for the occupants of planet wingnuttia.

Please stop being so stupid. He's tied or leading in the polls, so why would he spend even more when he's winning?. Of course he's using his money to raise even more money. You know, what he'll need in the general election. You idiots say he's only in the campaign for the money and then will exit stage to the left once he reaches maximum profit. Maybe you're just too dense to comprehend what hoofs idiotic article said and defend it out of being a mindless DNC lap dog?
