Drip, drip, drip.

What did he know, and when did he know it?

So these rumors are being used now to push down his own numbers.

Thought it was determined by now it was Rubio’s camp that started spreading the rumors that Carson was dropping out.

so funny NOW the Cruz campaign manager is frantically trying to get ahold of Carson’s people to try to make this nightmare go away .. Carson’s people must be feeling some major Schadenfreude on this one

Boy, Steve King turned out to be a creep as well. Apologized to Carson but is still saying he was going to drop out. Nice guy!

Nixonian Cruz.

When something is done that's wrong, sleazy, deceptive, ugly, and immoral, the tendency to pretend it's a dead horse only comes from those who did the wrong deed in the first place.

Or from delusional supporters.

What if Cruz gave him two delegates? Would that make people happy? Rush suggested that the other day.

Lol, they found one person and they aren’t even sure it was a Cruz supporter who said this.

The Cruz supporters did stand up at every site and give a speech to urge support to Cruz. These were quite public and all voters could hear the speech. Many sites had cameras running.
Did any of these speeches pass on the information that Carson dropped out? I haven’t seen any evidence they did.

Thank you for the link. This incident is blown out of proportion by several folks for different reasons:
Trump-to attack Cruz,until he realized that Rubio is his bigger problem in NH.
Carson-to make himself relevant again
GOP establishment media- to elevate Rubio by bringing down one of his major opponents-Greta looks like the main cheerleader

(expressed this thought on a middle-of-the-night thread)

The Cruz campaign is trying to tell us that they accepted, as true, without verification, a "breaking news" story from CNN? Aren't these the same folks who discount any anti-Cruz story from a liberal news source because they aren't reliable?

No matter which side of this you’re on, the fact is, it’s become a tar baby for Cruz that won’t be easily shaken.

I couldn’t care less at this point what Cruz does because the deed is done and everybody knows about it now,, voters can decide their own opinions on the matter when they go vote.. on to NH and SC!

Have you ever worked in a real live political campaign?

Have you ever watched sausage being made?

Cognitive dissonance.

Look it up.

If Cruz were to give Carson two delegates, then Trump would win Iowa. Nice dream from Limbaugh. This problem, it seems, can't be solved, and it isn't going away. Anything like that, an admission of guilt, won't help.

We real Constitutional Conservatives never stopped being disgusted about the way the primary runoff was stolen for Cochran. If Cruz didn't get that and hadn't schooled his campaign staff about what an important issue running a legal AND decent campaign is, he doesn't really understand our issues.
