The point was, people make mistakes. I don't think Trump made the sign. Some intern or whatever did, and nobody checked it. Sure it makes Trump look like he is running a rag tag ship, but the head guy can't control everything. There is a chain of command. Someone was supposed to check it, and failed.

I thought trumplestiltskin only hired the best, and knows the best, because he is the best at being the best on everything, or maybe he is just full of shit.

This is minor and a non story but if this was a Democrat there would be multiple websites running with this, kind of how when Obama said 57 states, multiple right wing websites took up the faux rage and kind of how dumbass righties still bring it up like they did in this thread.

No scandal but its funny that a Presidential contender doesn't have anyone verify this stuff or the guy verifying didn't notice.
Thank you for bringing this irrelevancy to my attention. I now know for certain that I couldn't care less. Thanks again.

Funny but even the "best" make mistakes.

How do you even make this mistake though? I mean, was someone just free-drawing the USA by hand and got confused when they hit the Northeast? You would assume they would start with a blank map already prepared and color it according to their (mistaken) message. When, in the process of coloring, did somebody start yanking New England (save Vermont) way off to the moon? How does that accidentally happen?

I remember coloring in maps of the USA when I was in first grade. Maybe Carson should hire me. I only sent Maine floating off into the Atlantic like two, three times, tops.

How do you make the mistake of saying there are 57 States? Nothing to see here except irrational validation of existing opinion.

I'd guess when one is traveling to 57 cities... but I understand how that might engender empathy.
Listen to the video. He mentions not going to Alaska and Hawaii so I doubt it. He kind of looks tired in the video too.

This is TOTALLY not a big deal, Obama just made a mistake.

Yeah he meant to say 47. He had been to 47. Was in his 48th at the time. Had those other 2 to go. Why it's lasted this long is beyond me.

If you listen to it you hear the pause between fifty... and seven.

But isn't it amusing that Obama apologists just can't help themselves? It would be funny, if it wasn't so pathetic.

I'd say they're both honest mistakes. However, all the other crazy shit Ben Carson says is a different story.

To clarify the difference here again, Obama CLEARLY simply misspoke and said 57 when meant to say 47. The statement would have been completely accurate with the 47 statement with the time and specific context he made it.

The issue here is not simply some graphic artist drew this, but after doing so the individual failed to look at it and notice something was wrong before they posted it. (For that matter they should have googled for a US map image and compared it as a form of double checking before considering the image completely done.)

Now the key related issue is the Carson campaign should have had at least one other person check the map before it actually got posted. They either failed to do this or neither person noticed that something seemed wrong with the map and took a more careful look.

This means that on top of simply being a funny mistake, the incident brings up legitimate questions about the competence of Carson's campaign staff and procedures. This could in fact raise legitimate questions if similar issues would apply to a Carson Presidency with the people he would have work for him, especially given Carson doesn't have a prior record of being in charge of a significant organization we could examine to get more information on this issue.

You forgot the part where Carson shot JFK.
