Ben Carson, speaking to reporters at the National Press Club Wednesday, said "it's obvious" that Ted Cruz 's underhanded tactics directly influenced the Iowa caucus results.
"I have been very, very concerned for a very long time about what was happening with our nation and with our government," Carson explained. "Why is it the American people are so restless? Why do they not trust the government?"
"I make no bones about the fact that I am a person of faith," the former neurosurgeon continued. "I believe what it says in Matthew 7:20, the Sermon on the Mount, 'by their fruit you will know them.' Know people not by what they say, but by what they do."
Carson would go on to stress that he hopes the American people not only judge himself, but "all the other people running" for president by that same standard so they are "less likely to make a mistake."
Furthermore, Carson stressed voters "need to think truly about our children" and "what kind of image are we setting for them" by voting for certain candidates.
"Are we holding up the highest values and principles... or are we settling for what we consider to be the best we can get? We can get complete excellence and settle for nothing less."
Carson told CNN's Jake Tapper on Tuesday that while he accepts Cruz's apology, he still believes the Texas senator needs to impose real consequences on his campaign staff.
Wise words by Dr. Carson. Unless he tries to apply them to Trump, of course. We all know what Trump says is more important than a lifetime of his deeds...
Don’t waste your time. The last thing a Trumpetter (especially this one) is interested in is Trump’s actual words/deeds. The only thing that matters is that he’ll make “deals”...
you Cruzers

I look at the facts and draw my own conclusions. The only political label that would properly fit me is conservative.
