Ben Carson Had A Hilarious Statement After Losing The South Carolina Primary

Ben Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, finished sixth in the South Carolina Republican presidential primary on Saturday, behind Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Ohio Gov. John Kasich, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (who dropped out), and Donald Trump (who won). But Carson offered some interesting spin to explain the result:Carson statement for the ages!he "received as many delegates in South Carolina as all other candidates but the winner" Jonathan Martin (@jmartNYT) February 21, 2016 Carson's likely right. Republican primary voters don't elect the GOP presidential nominee directly. Instead, they elect delegates, who choose the nominee at the party's July convention. The results aren't final, but Trump is likely to win all 50 of South Carolina's delegates. That means that despite their different vote totals, Rubio, Cruz, Kasich, Bush and Carson will probably all receive the same number of delegates from South Carolina: zero. -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.
