And why, pray tell, do you assume that any of the idiots who believed it voted for Cruz? It’s just as likely that their votes would go to another outsider, i.e., Trump.

Not into beating dead horses.

I’m guessing the Cruz people had some inside skinny from the Carson staffers who had already come on board to know the trajectory of Ben’s campaign.

And they are proving to be right as current events confirm.

“Carson needs to get over it. He was never a viable candidate.”

Yeah, how dare he get uppity like that.

Doesn’t he know Cruz is his better? He’s the consistent principled godly honest strong happy conservative warrior that was prophesied to user in God’s kingdom!

If Cruz wants to pull tricks, then in the name of the LORD he is within his mandate from heaven to do so!!!!!!!

Carson should put blame where it should be. There is only one person responsible for Carson's dismal finish...

His polling dropped like a stone after Trump attacked.

Common sense question: Would any Carson supporter change his/her vote based strictly on a rumor that Carson is dropping out? I think a reasonable person would check with someone from the Carson campaign for confirmation. Over 17k voters obviously weren’t negatively influenced by the rumor. I believe that Carson did intend to drop out of the race but decided to use this dust-up to regain some traction by playing the victim card.

I can’t believe Carson is still vying for Trumps VP slot...

But Trump didn’t take votes and delegates through chicanery.

If Cruz had called Carson a ‘quitter’ as a campaign attack, that’s a little bit different.

Team Carson is the reason CNN got that schedule. . . . Which turned out to be true. Their salty attitude is starting to annoy me.

Carson getting out of the race was correct all along. If you think his campaign is sustainable that is your problem. No lies were ever committed...

“Trump higher ethical ground? lol thats funny”

Cruz camp’s lies and gutter politics are the higher moral ground??

That’s how “principled” conservatives act on caucus night?

Denial is a dirty river running strong though the Cruz camp.

"why don’t we just throw the Constitution while you’re at it?"

By that do you mean, why don't I bring up that Cruz is not eligible?

I think he's been on his way out for awhile.

JMHO....I don’t think Carson would go there, but Cruz is toast if Carson uses the race card.

“Hows the weather out there in la la land?”

You’ll have to tell me.

I’m living in the real world, where I see the strengths and weaknesses of every candidate. In this instance, I wrote about the lack of ethics I am seeing in Ted Cruz.

I would not trust him after what I’ve seen.

What matters is who the slimeballs spreading the lie at the last minute were working for. I wasn't prepared to cast any blame on Cruz himself until I heard that he gave the go ahead to spread the lie and that following the disclosure of the dirty trick he failed to take any action within his campaign.

Guess you don't keep up on threads like this before claiming to speak with authority on a matter. From a FR thread YESTERDAY:

Limbaugh: Rubio Campaign To Blame for Carson Drop-Out Rumors

Quote from that article: According to Limbaugh, however, there are reports that the Rubio campaign is just as much to blame for spreading these rumors, trying to convince Carson supporters vote for Rubio."

Also, see my next post: to Xzins on this same topic.
