Carson: Cruz taking 'Benghazi' approach to Iowa controversy
Politico ^

Posted on 02/05/2016 12:16:24 PM PST by springwater13

"I would have said if I didn't agree with what's being — which he did say that — I would make sure that it didn’t happen again," Carson noted in an interview with Todd Starnes' podcast, as reported by BuzzFeed News. "And I would take corrective action. Not to take corrective action is tacitly saying eh, it’s OK, or it's sort of like, as Hillary Clinton said after Benghazi, 'what difference does it make?'"

I guess a tainted victory is better than no victory at all.

Sorry, it's nothing like Benghazi.

So do I. The guy is very sharp and is a superb wordsmith. I like Rush, but Steyn is a refreshing change.

Why should Ben care? Geesh ate you that goofy? His stance gains him more than giving lil Ted a way out of his trickery.

Bingo. These Cruzbots love the establishment. They prove it daily! What does one expect from people operating fron a half a brain?

OOOOOOO, BUUUURN!

And most of the the Cruz supporters who are so upset on this thread would be cheering Carson if it was the other way around.

“The expectations and behavior of Dr. Carson & Trump show the
downside of the inexperienced outsider as candidate.”

Because they refuse to just shut up and take it.
____________________________________________

No because they have no idea how to run a campaign and they resort to blaming others for their failures.

Trump can’t put together a ground game or practice retail politics. Carson allowed his campaign to make an ill phrased and ill timed announcement right before a caucus and right before he gutted his campaign by laying off 40% of his staff and announcing that more will be laid off after Iowa and not bothering to go to NH until the Saturday before the Tuesday primary. He isn’t serious about running.

That deal will probably be topic one tomorrow night at the debate.

The Iowa caucus seems expressly designed to allow things like that to happen.

What a total crock of crap.

It boils down, if it’s all true which it’s not, that Carson votes are stupid and easily swayed by BS. Doesn’t it?

Let’s see...Carson supporters just suddenly heard something and jumped ship after months of supporting him based on CNN by the thousands? He got 17,000 votes. That’s 25,000 less than Rubio.

Geez people, get a life.

They would be the same idiots that supposedly “turned around” after “hearing ABC call 2000 for Gore” in the FL panhandle.

I’m supposed to believe that crap? All of these folks in the panhandle just made a u-turn home and all were listening to the same radio station that at the time reported an ABC news report?

Wow, that must be one highly rated local radio station.

OMG, Primary Politics is a rough game! CALL THE SUPREME COURT...NOTIFY THE HAUGE!!

WAR CRIMES TRIALS MUST BE HELD! 25,000 CARSON MORONS CHANGED THEIR MINDS AT THE LAST MINUTE BASED ON A TWEET LINKING TO CNN!

OMG

And, Ill take Stynes opinion on this, as bankable. He did not start out as a Trump fan, btw.

Nor did I. Cruz supporters crapping on Sarah Palin just because she wouldn't do their bidding turned the tide for me.

Bingo! Carson is not in this to win and never has been. He is now a knowing and willing establishment tool. Either that or just a flake. Cue the Rubio endorsement in two weeks.

You are nuts.

Ben Carson is getting more retarded by the minute. Hey Ben, how about actually campaigning in New Hampshire for a change instead of traveling to Florida to go change your pants all the time?
