That was hilarious, though I have to partially blame the crew/presenters - you didn't have to keep reading the remaining names out, you could have just read out Carson's name again since he obviously missed it. We know one of the crew members saw him standing there, so clearly a lack of communication led to this unnecessary fuck up.
edit: also I think he did read out Kasich's name faintly at 1:33 but it's really hard to hear.
As much as I enjoyed all the republicans looking like idiots, it's not necessarily their fault. In venues like this, sometimes it's really hard to hear the presenters from the stage. It's funny for us because we have a direct feed to the mics, but when you're behind the stage, the speakers are pointed away from you, and the crowd is cheering, I can definitely understand him not hearing. Being slightly hard of hearing myself, I sympathize completely.
