Yes, of course, KGeorge . . and would you want to include a copy of the actual tweets from CNN and the time stamp on the tweets which clearly shows Cruz should have known that Carson was not quitting and yet he went ahead with the note to his 1500 caucus sites?
Here it is, just in case:

Carson wonât go to NH/SC, but instead will head home to Florida for some R&R. Heâll be in DC Thursday for the National Prayer Breakfast.

Ben Carsonâs campaign tells me he plans to stay in the race beyond Iowa no matter what the results are tonight.

Folks, Ben Carson is just making a brief stop at home in FL tonight and campaign says heâll be back on the campaign trail by Wednesday.
5:30 PM - 1 Feb 2016
not how quickly did they correct their tweets. when did cnn air another report that said ‘ben is just going home for a change of clothes...really’. None of this ‘no one that wants to win does this’ in their report. My understanding is that the cnn report aired just before 7 - caucus time.
Now you are telling me that the original report was on twitter, 2:15 before caucus time. Then a clarification came out 1.5 hours before caucus time?
I guess I am not up to speed on this whole thing...but the whole thing was cleared up long before caucus time?
Cruz was actually at my caucus that night - I heard him speak. He said nothing about Carson, and I only heard about this when I got home and checked on FR. He missed a great chance to tell almost 2k people when he spoke to us...
Here are the tweets from CNN’s Chris Moody . . with a time stamp on each one.

so cnn ran with the misleading report long after they knew the truth?
and it was a screen-shot from that report that was included in the team-cruz tweets?
I would love to. I have no idea how to imbed tweets. I guess I can C&P this. Not fancy, but the info is there.
Thanks so much!
It will be on this thread
If Trump had sent out those shaming letters or tried the email thing on caucus night everyone would be calling for his head on a stick.
Go quietly? Trump? Never dreamed of it.
If you can’t handle having a harmful media report passed along, then this kitchen really is a bit too hot for you.
Re: your post 35. IN my opinion a candidate having this information and not using it to his advantage would amount to malpractice. Of course you are going to use every advantage there is. They are there to win. It irks me to no end that not one word has been said about Rubio using the exact information. If Cruz’s people hadn’t jumped on this I would have thought they were stupid!
That's just unhinged. Cruz winning Iowa really rocked your world didn't it.
Please, don’t give up.
There are many people who would entertain a real conversation without the invectives that I have read lately.
There really is some decency left here.
I wish you well whatever your decision.
HLB
Full-court press by O’Reilly and MSM trying desperately to make this stick to Cruz.
Rove in cahoots trying to cut the conservative off at the pass.
Trump was supposed to win and win big. He lost. I doubt your thinking goes much beyond that.
Smallest of small potatoe issue, but when it’s all you’ve got.
Have you got an excuse ready, should Trump lose NH?
