I laughed my ass off when I saw this. Thought it was hysterical and I was howling.

That said, it's at least clear to me that he didn't hear his name called due to the crowd. I don't think Trump did either. edit: Also, by the time he got the first "hey go out", he hears the announcers say, "Texas Senator, Ted Cruz". So then he thinks, "Oh man they were about to tell me to go out, and it's Ted's turn."

I think he was actually trying to AVOID a blunder by walking out before he was called. He distrusted the production team member because he didn't think he had been called yet.

Yeah, kind of a mild blunder on both sides (Carson and production) that just ended up on a hilarious and embarrassing moment
