What’s out of kilter is the inability of Cruz supporters to get past Ben Carson. Rather, they cling to feelings toward him ranging from raw hatred to soulless disdain.
Why?
Because Carson is to blame for the inception of the ‘dirty Teddy’ meme. If only Carson would have dropped out when Jeff Roe said he did, all would be well. By stubbornly and selfishly refusing to drop out at the Cruz-camp command, Carson tarnished Ted’s ‘principled conservative’ veneer.
It’s unbelievable. Carson has become, in Cruz supporters eyes, a villain. Yet his crime is nothing more than failing to validate a Cruz camp dirty trick. Mentally unhinged falls short of describing the pathology.
All would not have been well. Cruz is just very desperate because you must win early. They had spent $$$$$ on internal polling and knew he could only win in limited places. Iowa was the place. Carson is not to blame for anything. Remember the ‘shaming letters?’
There’s lots of stuff that could have unravelled his campaign. Someone should have followed up with the fraud in Maine. There is no way that he won that election without fraudulent assistance.
I’m really shocked his campaign went so far. The length is only attributed to the millions of dollars vested into him by the handful of donors. He exited on May 3 with close to 10 million dollars, btw. He did not quit due to a lack of money to continue the campaign. BOOM from DJT.
