There was a tweet by one of Cruz’s guys saying that somebody from Carson’s NH team had confirmed it.
Carson’s NH team all quit the Carson team the day before, saying they loved Carson but needed to help a conservative who has a chance to win: Ted Cruz. That sounds a LOT like people who had just been told there wasn’t going to be a NH canpaign because Carson was about to quit.
My guess is that the Cruz guy spoke to one of the Carson NH people and was told that they had quit because Carson had told them he was going to announce his resignation. And that’s why Cruz’s 2nd memo to his precinct people said that there was going to be a big announcement by Carson.
But Carson changed his mind about letting people know what he had told CNN about not campaigning in NH and SC, so he said he was not quitting, just going home for a while before leaving Florida in Wed. CNN had reported that he was going to DC on Thursday for the prayer breakfast. So Carson’s people never did say he would campaign; they just said that he hadn’t quit yet. He’s still not campaigning though, which was what Cruz’s people were talking about.
Because, as CNN said in the report in question, “Look. If you want to be President of the United States, you don’t go to Florida. I mean, that’s just bottom line. That’s the end of the story.”
When Carson changed his mind about letting people know he was quitting, the Cruz guy deleted his tweet, probably to not get the NH source in trouble. And Cruz apologized rather than expose that Carson had changed his mind.
That’s what I suspect happened.
