Cruz apologized on behalf of his staffers who made an honest mistake (if it can even be called a mistake) in contacting their precinct captains to notify them of the information concerning Carson heading back to Florida.

Them contacting the precinct captains with that information was perfectly logical based on the information contained in Chris Moody’s tweet.

The information in Moody’s tweet was perfectly logical based on the information that was given to Moody by Carson himself or someone on his staff.

Cruz did nothing wrong here.

Unethical and deceitful in what way. Cruz and crew admitted it was a simple mistake from an erroneous report. Cruz even apologized.

Unless you have some information that it was malicious please share..

So, he’s going to continue his sham until Cleveland. He’s doing it now out of sheer spite. If he has raised so much money, why is he having to slash staff? He doesn’t know how to manage his campaign and he sure as heck can’t run the country.

The only thing that is fueling your feigned outrage is your hatred for Cruz. Take some time off. I know your bipolar candidate isn’t speaking tonight, but make you can replay his “F” bomb speech to remind you what impressive Presidential material he is.

The judge on 4 against one said yesterday under the Iowa statute against coercing voters...a law unique to Iowa.

I think you’re right. Carson needs to end the sham.

Coercing voters? You’ve got to be kidding me. If lying to voters was a crime, then no politician would ever escape prison.

Carson is not now, nor has he ever been a serious candidate. You know it. I know it. Carson knows it. Trump knows it.

Carson is going to drop out and soon. Not a single voter was “coerced” into voting for Cruz because of the information that was being disseminated. For the most part, everything was true. Carson left Iowa the day before the Caucus to fly to Florida to change his underwear.

You are really grasping at straws if you think some law about “coercing” voters was broken.

Get a grip x. This is a distraction. I can’t believe all the people who are getting their panties in a knot over this.

What will you bet me there'll be some other distraction immediately following NH, to dominate any Cruz news and take him off message all the way to Nevada & S Carolina?

If you want dirty tricks look no further.

If he is claiming anyone was coerced, then he is an idiot.

You know what you call an attorney with an IQ of less than 80?

Your Honor.

I don't think they said 25% stayed home. I think they said 25% thought about staying home.

All of which means that it is correct to say it is a suspect election.

It IS a suspect election.

No one knows who really won without the ‘unethical’ behavior.

And CBS reported on 31 December that Carson outstripped Cruz in fundraising with 24 MILLION dollars.

And yet they reported just this week that he is laying of 40% of his staff, and reducing the salaries for most of the rest. Where did all that money go?
