Two of Ben Carson’s top campaign aides resign
Sources told The Des Moines Register on Thursday that Carson’s campaign manager Barry Bennett and communications director Doug Watts gave Carson their notice. “We are proud of our efforts for Dr Carson and we wish him and his campaign the best of luck”. “I am not going to judge them for what I’ve seen over the long haul”.

Armstrong Williams, Carson’s business manager, echoed that prediction in an interview with CNN Thursday. Carson, in interviews before Christmas, was hinting in that he’d desired to alter his marketing crusade operation for a similar reason candidates frequently alter employees: he was falling within the polls. 23 sit-down discussion with WaPo and the AP, Carson had said that he wanted to enact a major campaign shakeup then appeared pretty hush hush about the whole thing, effectively acting like a sad dad who can’t handle his own divorce.
Williams said he spoke with Dees, the new campaign chairman, on Thursday and described their relationship as “wonderful”.
Williams is reportedly blamed for a handful of political missteps and is accused of railroading the retired neurosurgeon’s White House bid by setting up media interviews without the campaign’s knowledge. I will be nowhere near the Oval Office when Dr. Carson is elected president.

In November, Mr Carson’s top adviser on terrorism and national security said no one had been able to get “one iota of intelligent information” from the candidate about the Middle East. “They’re giving me a lot more credit than I deserve”, he said.
On Williams urging Carson to talk to reporters about campaign unrest, Bennett called it a “stupid move”.

“Everything is on the table”, he said of potential changes. I must tell you, I’ve never known him to be more at peace. Once you have their names, addresses, and other data, you can use the info to target them later with more advertising (like, say, for a lucrative Super PAC) or sell the list to others for their own ad purposes. “And when he’s at peace, I’m ecstatic”.
