In addition to Guam getting delegates, so do these:
American Samoa, District of Columbia, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
RE: Cruz cheated, announced Carson’s suspension during caucus, only needed four votes per precinct to pull it off.

“On the Ben Carson allegation, it’s just false. We simply, as a campaign, repeated what Ben Carson had said,” Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler said in an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
And Rubio’s close 3rd!
I’m guessing the establishment knew what the polls really said. They lowered Rubios numbers and gave them to Trump, then they could pump up Rubio and claim how everyone likes him, and oh what a surprise. You could see how they talked so positive about Rubio and how they hated Cruz and trump.
I would like to know the number of votes that Cruz stole from Carson...??
Disgusting. Cruz will never get my vote.
RE: I would like to know the number of votes that Cruz stole from Carson...??
And why would Cruz steal votes from Carson?
The news of Carson’s flying to Florida was reported by CNN.

CNN Report On Carson Going Home To Florida
Both Cruz and Trump were within the margin of error for the polls, which was 4-5 percent. Cruz a little higher, Trump a little lower.
Rubio was the one who outperformed the poll prediction going beyond the margin of error.
Here's my source, for whatever the heck that's worth.

Undecided 3%
Someone who knows how, Please post Carson’s comments on NBC Sunday morning. As I recall it, Carson’s own words were very similar to the words in the Cruz flyer. Carson was hoping for a surprise, but did not expect it. Carson said he would step back and evaluate when to drop out.
Not that I like polls, but as I understand it, Cruz was 28% and Trump was 24%. So if the margin of error in the poll was 3%, that puts a Trump win in range (24+3=27, 28-3=25).
Anyone actually know the margin of error of the poll in question?
Carson did not formally suspend his campaign.
When they grasp the idea that there are still a few people, maybe enough to count as the deciding slice, that still prefer a bit of refinement in their most prominent leaders and in the communities they wish to revive.
And actually, I'm beginning to sense that quite a large proportion of our children coming of age are getting tired of a preceding generation of foul-mouthed, ill-mannered, uncouth, and inconsiderate "grownups" who think such behavior illustrates the desirability of shockingly radical individuality that must be accepted, or else . . .
I don't think that the abused spawn of such moral idiots will permit further indecencies as they themselves mature into power over an era of self-professed slobs.
Polls can’t account for dirty tactics.
RE: Polls can’t account for dirty tactics.
Are Iowan voters so dumb that they can’t check whether or not an email or even news being reported at CNN is true or not before voting?
I am unconvinced that Carson’s 9% votes was CAUSED by the news that he was dropping out.
“Are Iowan voters so dumb that they can’t check whether or not an email or even news being reported at CNN is true or not before voting?”
Not the last minute, like the caucus format has people discussing right before voting. It sets up the opportunity for fraud, which Cruz took advantage of.
