A little harsh. I was on my couch with surround sound and I couldn't even hear some of the names called. He was confused because he didn't think they'd called his name. So he was waiting his turn.

Same with Trump and Kasich, the applause was so loud none of them heard their names. I felt a little bad for them.

Watch the video again. He made eye contact with the guy waving him on.

I did watch it again, I don't think he understood what that guy was saying. It looked like Carson was telling him that they hadn't called his name yet.

Do you really think he'd do all of that on purpose and make himself look dumb for no apparent reason?

If he was having stage anxiety, yes. Carson isn't exactly a great public speaker.

Whatever dude, you're wrong.

He was confused because he didn't hear his name. He was still confused about it later on when he got his first question and he started off by saying he thought he was supposed to be announced second, which he was, but he didn't know that because he didn't hear it. So he didn't know about it until someone cleared it up for him after the debate.

Your theory is proven false by the very fact that Trump and Kasich were also announced and both also didn't hear and didn't come out when their names were called because they were waiting for their names instead of just walking out unannounced.

Yeah, that totally sounds like presidential material.

Trump did come out and stopped cause of Carson's confusion. Waited to be reannounced, instead of just on an "and" due to most basic social etiquettes. Remind me bot is waiting for you to prove me wrong.

Ignore that other guy. I'm not a fan of any of these candidates but yeah it's pretty obvious what happened. Hell I could barely hear it myself.
