Several folks at work spoke of supporting Trump a few weeks/months ago. Today during lunch....none of them spoke of supporting Trump. None.

Trump is killing himself with his mouth and sophomoric antics.

Anyone who would believe that a man who spent months campaigning in a State would drop out in the middle of the voting is too stupid to vote.

“The calls were placed after the Carson campaign had already clarified that Carson was not suspending his campaign. “

“I’m a Christian.”
“I’m a principled conservative”

What we have here is a case of situational ethics for Ted Nixon Cruz.

"...from the Ted Cruz campaign, calling to get to a precinct captain, and it has just been announced that Ben Carson is taking a leave of absence from the campaign trail, so it is very important that you tell any Ben Carson voters that for tonight, uh, that they not waste a vote on Ben Carson, and vote for Ted Cruz. He is taking a leave of absence from his campaign. All right? Thank you. Bye."

So what? That tweet and the EEEVIL phone messages are not inaccurate.

The only issue is that the tweet/meesage characterized Carson's R&R as a leave of absence or suspension. Even if that characterization was intentional, Carson did not plan to campaign in NH or SC and was, in fact, returning to his home in FL.

There was nothing wrong with telling Iowa caucus voters to not waste their vote on Carson. That's kind of the purpose of a caucus gathering!

Cruz's precinct captains should also have advised each precinct captain to tell their caucus attendees to not waste their votes on Santorum, Huckabee, Rand Paul, Jeb, Rubio or Trump.

Sorry Trumpboners, there's no "there" there.

Carson did take a leave of absence from the campaign trail. Which politician takes a leave of absence right before an election?

Carson was polling at 7.7% before caucus according to the Real Clear Politics average. He finished with 9.3%. You really think a tweet by a campaign surrogate swung that many voters?.... and you would have to assume they all went to Cruz, not Rubio. Cruz beat Trump by 3.3%.

Audio doesn't change anything that has already been apologized for
and there wasn't any harm done.

and what’s the scandal. Its a caucus. I would expect precint captains to be trying to tell other candidate voters to vote for his/her candidate.

Apparently the Ted Cruz campaign believes "put on the whole armor of God" includes spreading lies.

Wonder who those three delegates Carson won will end up going to ? Not Cruz, that's for sure, in spite of his BS about being a good Christian.

The next stage of this is Ted saying he didn't know a thing about it.

I guess it's like Roberts, who knew ?. Or, maybe it's a clever trick to fool the democrats.

Voter fraud from Hitlery and voter fraud from Cruz. Both of them should be forced out of the race.

Cruz is the skunk who cheats, helps ObamaTRADE to pass
even though it is SECRET, keeps HIS loans SECRET,
and pretends to be ‘conservative’. Right.

I feel like swearing. That is pretty fudged. I gave money to Cruz; I believed in him. Even when I went for Trump, I was happy Cruz was an alternative.

But his “victory” speech was unpleasant (intelligent people don’t thank Gd for a win against opponents), and the mailer didn’t fit with the ethics I’d imagined he had. And now this: his campaign calling the precincts and saying that. He was hurting another evangelical Christian candidate. As they say, just the optics alone...

I don’t even want him as my President any more. He’s messed up. Honestly, Bernie Sanders is demonstrating better campaign ethics.

Ted’s team has owned up to this. It’s dirty but that’s politics.

Carson should be steamed.

Can someone please tell me where and when Dr. Carson will be holding his next campaign event. If there is nothing on the schedule, he has quit.
