Did the Cruz campaign network know that you were going to speak on his behalf at the caucus? Did they have your email address?

Yes and yes.

If so, and if this stuff was coordinated by Cruz, you would have been contacted.... Are you on the Cruz campaign's email list? If so, could you look at the screenshot in the article at http://www.vocativ.com/news/276724/ted-cruz-is-a-scam-artist/ and see if you received those emails, that Jennings Brown claims he received?

Yes, I am on their list and I do receive a lot of email from tedcruz.org. Part of that is because I checked the box for a number of interest groups (2nd Amendment, Pro-Life, etc.).

Anyway, after Steve King Tweeted the "news" at 5:20 PM CST, I received two email messages from the campaign (the headers prove they're authentic)...

Press Reporting Carson to Take Break After Iowa

Dear [newgeezer],

Breaking News. The press is reporting that Dr. Ben Carson is taking time off from the campaign trail after Iowa and making a big announcement next week.

Please inform any Carson caucus goers of this news and urge them to caucus for Ted Cruz.

CNN Reporting Ben Carson Will Stop Campaigning After Iowa

Dear [newgeezer],

CNN is reporting that Ben Carson will stop campaigning after Iowa. Make sure to tell all of your peers at the caucus supporting Carson that they should coalesce around the true conservative who will be in the race for the long haul: TED CRUZ!

Again, I am very thankful I didn't see any of this prior to speaking.

So the Cruz people reported to their network what CNN was reporting.

It would be nice to know exactly when CNN corrected their reports. Carson’s advisor tweeted at 7:03 that the report was not true, and then at 7:11 that Carson was going to FL for a change of clothes, leaving early to beat out the snowstorm.

We need a coordinated timeline of who said what and when.

I’ve never been to a caucus. When did the speakers for each candidate start speaking?
