Carson: Cruz^s attitude towards what he did in Iowa reminds me of Hillary attitude towards Benghazi

Cruz should have held his campaign staff accountable for spreading bad information just like Hillary should have held State Department staff accountable for not stopping jihadi savages from murdering Americans.

Asked by Todd Starnes if he was satisfied with the way Sen. Cruz has handled himself as Christian over the incident in Iowa, Carson said, Well, let me put it this way, it is not the way that I would have handled it.

I would make sure that it did not happen again, Carson continued. And I would take corrective action. Not to take corrective action is tacitly saying it is okay, or it is sort of like, as Hillary Clinton said after Benghazi, what difference does it make.

Carson lost my wife’s vote last night. Not due to the issues at the caucus but to his continuous whining about it.

Man up,Ben.

And Carson reminds me of Al Gore in Florida.

I want my Mr. Congeniality ribbon back. LOL.

Team Carson is to blame. Team Cruz did the smart thing with it. It is not their job to babysit team Carson.

I hope the Donald harps on this in the debate.

Watch his support completely evaporate!!!!

Why do you think he is trying to change the subject? Voters are catching on he is a whiny sore loser, that’s why.

I wanted to like candidate Carson. As I learned of his positions I could not support him. His only asset to me was his kind demeanor. So much for that!

Rubio says he is the only one electable so votes for anyone else are wasted.
Trump says that he is in the lead so votes for anyone else are wasted.

Welcome to politics. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve heard campaigns say “Cruz is unelectable” or whoever else is unelecable. Ignore it or believe it. That is the way it works.

Okay. So now misinterpreting Carson's inane campaign trail behavior is on par with murdering Americans.

Got it.

Go home Ben. You're an honorable man, but your desperate rage is making you look and sound like a lunatic.

Wrong analogy. Think a bit deeper. Bush-43 did not play any dirty tricks on Gore.

On the other hand, Dr Carson is claiming Teddy’s spreading false rumors was a dirty trick. No heads have rolled in Teddy’s campaign staff over this. What does that tell you? Reminds everybody what Hillary said...What Difference does it make?

Regardless of what your personal opinion is, MSM is not letting this thing go. This will fester through the whole primary campaign.

I do not think this false rumor spreading was even necessary. Cruz was going to win in Iowa regardless.

Do you consider Trump’s record sized crowds a sign of evaporating support ?

What can you expect? After all they are both lawyers and we know what the most important thing to them is and the rest be damned.

Actually what Teddy’s campaign did reminds me of Watergate. Nixon was going to win easily in 1972 anyway. Yet he had to send burglars to Watergate Hotel to spy on McGovern’s weak campaign. Cruz is looking more and more like Nixon.

Carson will speak three times at the debate tomorrow:
1. Whine that he was robbed of an Iowa victory
2. Moment of silence
3. Recite the Gettysburg Address

The circus and Miley Cyrus draw big crowds.

He had large crowds in Iowa, but lost.

If Cruz wasn’t at fault , why did he apologize after the damage was done ?
