Greta Van Susteren went off on the Cruz Campaign tonight over their handling of the Ben Carson Caucus scandal.
On Monday Dr. Ben Carson accused the Cruz camp of foul play in the Iowa Caucuses.
Carson said the Cruz camp told voters Carson was dropping out and to support Ted Cruz.
Carson was right to be outraged...
The Cruz camp sent out messages and made calls to all precinct captains that Dr. Carson was dropping from the race.
On Thursday Greta Van Susteren reacted to the Cruz campaign scandal.
Greta Van Susteren: Horrible!... This is appalling!
For some reason to me, what happened that night was terrible. But then when they have time for reflection they make it even worse with this statement tonight. It's just appalling.
Karl Rove: They're circling the wagons. They know they made a big error. They're trying to change the subject and they're circling the wagons.
Greta Van Susteren: Then don't tell me that Senator Cruz apologized! Because all he does is try to make Carson wrong in this whole statement and Carson didn't do anything wrong. It's just completely ridiculous to say Senator Cruz apologized. They got caught. Now they got double caught. This is horrible and shame on the Cruz campaign!
So suspending a Campaign automatically means he’s quitting?
I just listen to what the cult leader says. He said they can come back on an expedited basis legally. Which means they will be democrat voters in no time.
Oh my, they urged the Carson voters to support Cruz.
What a stupid statement.
I think it’s called politics.
Nope, he and his son both said his plan is touch back amnesty.
Yup, I vote for real conservatives.
Not leftists posing as conservatives for an election.
No surprise you are for Trump, would have guessed it actually.
Lying, cheating and stealing???
Any examples you want to provide?
“Talk about trying to deflect the conversation. All that is beside the point. Carson boarding a plane does not give Cruz a green light to spread false rumors and steal votes.”
Just a thought on the lighter side - other folks were having some fun too. Everything is SO intense and serious.
Absolutely agree with you though. What I said didn’t imply I thought Cruz (or anyone) should get away with spreading rumors or stealing votes.
“How do Cruz supporters justify the claim the Carson “
It won’t stop them from trying. Similar to Hillary’s defenders.
There’s a point when a person becomes so invested they refuse to alter course.
Note: “invested” not “committed”.
You have to put this whole thing in context. Carson needed to change his underwear and so he flew to Florida. They don’t sell his brand in Iowa. I don’t know how anyone could possibly conclude that Carson was suspending his campaign just because he left Iowa before the Caucus and flew to Florida to change his underwear. Everyone flies 2000 miles when they run out of underwear. I know I do

Perfect context.
And a gentle reminder to those who see Carson as a victim. In what world is it respectful of the voters to fly out of State for underwear during the Caucus?
That is a HUGE implication that the vote mattered less to Carson than a skid mark; he would have lost regardless of what the Cruz people may/may not have done.
You’re absolutely right about turning off the magnet.
If illegals can’t get public assistance and jobs, they can’t survive here. In fact, turning off the magnet is the only thing that will truly stop them from coming here.
No amount of physical barriers or threats is going to deter people who are etermined to escape the hellhole countries they come from.
“Potatoe”
Your last name wouldn’t be Quayle, would it?
LOL
.”...he even wanted the city to remove homeless veterans from the front steps of his hotel.”
Are you being satirical? I am sure you can move them to your front porch if you are so inclined, and then you can condemn him for that.
You make no sense at all....which is exactly what I expect from Trumpbots.
Yes he is but he lets us do some pretty stupid things...So you're basically voting for Hillary or the lunatic...
Greta provided a good assessment
Yep, I'm pro America...
So you telling lies about Trump is just legitimate politics, eh???
Hey, I struggle with that every time...I’m going to start saying ‘spud’...
Carson is not now, nor has he ever been a serious candidate for President. You know that. I know that. He knows that. Trump knows that. Everybody knows that.
No. It makes perfect sense, which you being a Cruz-bot, would not understand it.
You criticize Trump for not liking homeless people urinating in front of his building, which is what they are doing in New York City, in case you haven’t heard.
I don’t think you will get very far trying to tarnish Trump with that. As I said, when you move in a bunch of homeless people to hang around your house, then you have room to point the finger at Trump. What is so hard to understand about that?
