The fact that a Carson staffer leaked something has little to do with his ability to run the country.

Cruz and his campaign took advantage of situation and played fast and loose with the facts...They could have and should have confirmed. They chose not to and led caucusers to mistaken believe that Cruz was out. I think it was really bad form, and the more that comes out, the less I trust TRUSTED. Not showing much integrity.

Frankly. I don’t want a traditional polished slick politician campaigner who has done nothing but work in the public sector for their whole life—I want an outsider to turn Washington upside down and inside out. If they make an amateur move or put foot in mouth because they are on a learning curve, so be it.

When did I EVER suggest any such thing?

I do not believe that they played fast and loose with anything. I agree that they could have confirmed with the Carson campaign, but then so should have CNN before putting this on the air. They're supposed to be responsible journalists, remember.

They chose not to and led caucusers to mistaken believe that Cruz Carson was out.

That was CNN. Have you ever watched the broadcast? Even several Fox newspeople have said that they thought the information from the Carson camp indicated that he was dropping out.

I think it was really bad form, and the more that comes out, the less I trust TRUSTED. Not showing much integrity.

As you might imagine, I disagree. This is a mountain made of a molehill. And the molehill was one of Carson's own making - or his staff's.

Frankly.

If that's true, then Cruz ought to be your guy. Especially since you think Cruz made a clumsy outsider's move in passing on CNN's news story about Carson.

At any rate, I think we have the same goal with respect to Washington DC. I think that goal can best be accomplished by Ted Cruz.
