Rubio’s campaign was using the CNN information too, just like Cruz’s did.
The Carson campaign is clutching at straws.
I have yet to have anyone post anything from Ted or from the campaign itself that said Carson was dropping out. The closest thing I have seen was the tweet from Steve King, which said it LOOKED like Carson was out. But all the Trumpkins keep posting that TED SAID BEN WAS OUT, as if repeating the lie over and over again will make it true. Sounds like they are taking after Goebbels.
Already saw that and saw it was the fox calling his traipsing around the henhouse as an innocent stroll in the neighborhood. It would be laughable if it wasn’t serious.
Trumpsters will always believe what they want to believe rather then the facts....just like their leader Trump.....it can’t be helped....when one is caught up in deception it’s not going to let go easily.
Even CNN ignored the tweet that said Carson was not dropping out. There were other tweets from other CNN accounts about Carson leaving the campaign trail AFTER Moody sent the tweet saying Carson was continuing after Iowa. They also had Dana Bash and Jake Tapper on air discussing the issue after that tweet, and neither one of them mentioned it! But you expect the Cruz campaign to be the only ones that caught the tweet that everyone else missed or ignored???
Please provide any evidence that the Cruz campaign said Carson was "dropping out".
I have yet to see evidence, that the Cruz campaign knew anything of the sort before the messages were sent.... I would very much be interested to see such evidence.... as I think most Cruz supporters would be. Stating that 4 voters per precinct would have had to vote other than Carson is ridiculous, because yes Trump would have won but Carson would have still languished in fourth place. Plus all indications are that Carson did better than expected, so it must not have hurt him that badly.
Not sure I get all the fuss. Trump had a “yuge” lead going in to Monday. He was going to schlong Cruz, Rubio and all the rest! Nobody had a prayer against the Donald. Now... shouldn’t he be more concerned about where all those supporters disappeared to rather than where he thinks any cold-footed Carson supporters ran off to?
Heck, if you can’t keep track of your own children, why worry about somebody else’s?
There are other messages on record by the Cruz camp that were sent to 1500 precinct captains AFTER they were informed the Carson rumor was false. They are caught red-handed and can’t get out of it.
Helicondelta has a detailed post of all the facts and messages.
What “other messages”? Did any of them say “Carson is out”, or did they say “Carson is taking a break from campaigning after Iowa”. Because one would be a lie and the other true, no matter when it was sent.

Look it up, research it, it’s all there. There is no excuse for not finding it if there is a sincere interest in finding it.
Desperately searching for the meaning of is?
Clinton would be proud to be on the Cruz Team, splitting hairs is one of their favorite pastimes.
I have never heard, or read that Ted personally said Carson was dropping out.
??
The Carson camp said he would go home to Florida before moving on the NH. It was spun that he was ‘taking a break’, then it was spun that he was ‘quitting’.
No matter, the Carson message to the Cruz camp was unequivocal in that he was not quitting, and this message was transmitted and confirmed by the Cruz campaign chief BEFORE the same chief decided to cheat and send the spun ‘quitting’ version direct to the 1500 precinct captains without even going through his staff.
It’s very clear he saw an opportunity to take advantage of the confusion and in so doing revealed himself to be a scumbag.

Are we now claiming that there was some vast right-wing conspiracy that was out to get Carson and Trump? Are we now claiming that CNN and Cruz conspired to throw the iowa caucuses? That Carson’s weak campaigning had no effect on his loss in iowa?
No, that's not what they said at first. They said he was going home, and then to DC, and that he had no events scheduled in NH or SC.
send the spun 'quitting' version direct to the 1500 precinct captains without even going through his staff.
No one has yet posted this "quitting" version anywhere that I can find. Can you direct me to that? As a matter of fact, I have not seen the Carson message to the Cruz camp you refer to - where is that?
fake-painted-campaign-bus carson should be taken at his word at the eve of the iowa caucus election?
the same carson who lost his NH staff to cruz a few days ago?
the carson that whines to the press after receiving cruz’s public apology?
that carson??
just checking what you are asking for...
My guesses:
1) She has a job outside of the home
2) The parents and kids thought it would be fun to have them on the campaign trail and good to show a happy family
3) It has been harder than all of them realized it would be
So did the anti-Trump voters. Plenty.
