I liked Cruz pretty well until he or his group indicated that Carson would be out and they shouldn’t waste their vote. That’s lying and cheating and I have no respect for him if he was involved in that. He was supposed to be a principled Christian choice.

If it is true (and I doubt that it is because I don’t trust the media), I doubt very seriously that Ted Cruz was aware of anything like this happening and certainly would have not directed it.

The Carson campaign said he was going back to Florida. Today they said he was just going home to pick up some fresh clothes. REALLY?

My understanding is that CNN put out the story that Carson was taking a break after Iowa and the Cruz camp forwarded it. Smart action. Blame CNN.

I pictured the statement, don't waste your vote on somebody who just ain't gonna make it, as part of the normal give and take of a caucus environment and Carson's campaign's complaint about it kind of silly. It's far less "dirty" than a lot that goes on in politics every day. Think back on what was being slung at Carson when his polling numbers were in double digits. Insults about his wife's appearance?

The same statement could have been made during the caucuses about all but three or four of the candidates and probably was by supporters of other campaigns than Cruz's. And saying it about someone who left the State during the count to go home and grab some clean clothes seems almost prescient.

The word was already out on MSM that CARSON is almost out of money and that it wouldn’t be long until he was out of the race.

How sure are you that Cruz was behind that?

Below is the action of a principled Christian man. I hope you will give him another look:

First on CNN: Ted Cruz apologizes to Ben Carson

He has apologized and explained.
