Carson’s campaign stragety is not subject to your approval. He was screwed by Cruz no matter how you try to spin it and everyone knows it.

"Carson's a good man" if I read it here once I read it a thousand times. Until he crossed Cruise.

“Cruz campaign knowingly falsified info to voters for personal gain. Not disputed anywhere, especially with the recordings.”

Please post his ‘falsified info’ and back up your claim. Thank you.

He hasn’t attended a single event in New Hampshire or South Carolina. Other than whining to the press he has been MIA with 2 elections within a month.

Salaries....One of Carson's BBF was being paid $20,000.00 a month. I think he resigned when the discovery came about.

There is also a scandal about pay amounts connected to his "charity".

I hope both of them try. It will open them up for a sharp attack from Cruz on their hypocrisy.

Note that Carson’s “continuation” of his “campaign” means he’s happy to take money from his donors while flying on chartered jets, selling books while NOT campaigning and while paying for empty buses to tool around to make it look like he has a presence.... yeah, real honest of him.

"The CNN story was true. The Cruz campaign passed it on."

Untrue for the gazillionth time. They embellished to mislead and confuse.

Example: I go on vacation
You tell my clients I'm out and you don't know if I'm coming back.
Your helpful "passing it on" leads to you pocketing my commissions.

Fraud? Maybe.
Dirty pool? Probably
Christian like behavior? You decide.

Hopefully any serious candidate has staff monitoring Tweater to counter-act those kind of attacks.

BS.

You keep repeating that lie. And it is a lie; it’s not “not disputed” at all.

By the way, Carson received the same percentage of votes in the actual Iowa caucus as the polls indicated he would. Therefore, Cruz “stole” no votes — Ben received 100% of the votes he was expected to receive.

Like everyone else, I respect Dr. Carson. One thing he did not do was surround himself with competent counsel and campaign staff. He made some unwise choices. Does anyone have a fork we can use to see if his campaign is done?

Cruz is on top in New Hampshire if you eliminate the liberal establishment candidates.

He’s a fraud. I think the refrain about Carson being a good man needs to end.

Shapiro is stating what everyone already knows, even if they pretend otherwise.

Every commentator that heard the CNN report thought Carson was leaving the campaign trail. So far, he has.

Your example is apples to oranges.

Carson said he was taking a break from campaigning (not that he was “taking a vacation” from running for president). CNN reported that fact. The other campaigns passed that info along to their people.

Ben received the same number of votes as the polling indicated he would. No votes lost = no votes stolen = you are wrong.

How did it work? Is there evidence one voter switched votes because of it? No committed voter would switched based on the word of another campaign. On the other hand, in a caucus situation, supporters of candidates with low totals often migrate to top tier candidates. Like what happened with O’Malley voters.

Cruz is a cheat and he will be called on it. Despite his debating abilities which would put Joan of Arc to shame, he’ll do nothing more than blame subordinates as he always does. He’s already apologized for his cheating but has none absolutely nothing about it.

You’re right. Ben’s lost my respect.

"So who was the real fibber here? The Cruz campaign, which correctly forecast Carson's drop out, or Carson's campaign, which insisted that he wasn't going anywhere, then proceeded to slash half its workforce and remove its candidate from the campaign trail?"

Ouch.

I'm bookmarking that pithy rhetorical question. Might come in handy here.
