Politics is a fast-paced and unpredictable game, and sometimes, unfortunate things happen. That's the best way I can describe what occurred on caucus night in Iowa when CNN implied that Ben Carson was dropping out of the Republican race, and the Cruz campaign swiftly alerted caucus-goers that they should consider voting for Ted Cruz instead.
Let's start from the beginning.
Shortly before the Iowa caucus was set to begin, CNN's Jake Tapper reported: ...

Ted Cruz 2016!!!
If this Post is true then the media would pick it up. If it stays in the blogs then really it won’t get much exposure.
BS. Cruz lied. Period.
Thanks for reminding us 5 days after Iowa the Cruz Carson scandal
Is alive and well. It appears it is not going away.
I actually am for Trump in my primary, Cruz in the general if that’s what happens. This thing? Pointless. Carson never did and never will have a chance to win. All this high protest by his forces is just BS intended to breathe life into a corpse that will not draw a win - anywhere.
The whole matter is slimy, sorry Cruzers.
Nope, the entire media are working together to spread the lie...including Faux News.
Fortunately, Ted Cruz says his campaign is designed with the assumption that the lying media would be against him from start to finish.
Help Ted Cruz bypass the dino media!
Ted Cruz 2016!
How about a teeny tiny taste of what the dems will do to the Donald if he makes it to the general (just imagine all the stuff they could have put in there if they wanted to devote a little more time...they will turn him into a laughing stock in no time):

=================================================
Fox/s Greta V/S is not a Carson supporter.....but she went ballistic when she reported on the Cruz campaign/s intellectually facile response to his critics. ...claiming they used Carson/s own resignations words....when no such words exist.
===============================================
.....reports indicate that the schemers who did this were hired PRECISELY by Cruz b/c they did it before. That Cruz keeps them on his payroll, suggests the report is accurate.
Nice take. The evidence is all there for a criminal complaint. Cruz was caught w/ his pants down.
Cruz got victory without triumph.
Its just noise from the noise machine. You have to learn to ignore it; talking about it just lets the noise-makers dictate the subject of conversation.
The basic feature of the media noise machine is its ability to decide what we will talk about today. If we talk about stupid stuff we aren’t talking something else.
Trump understands this very well and uses it to his advantage.
It’s certainly not a “contract with america” season like this.
By the way, thanks for keeping these postings going. People know that whenever someone is apologizing for or trying to explain away the actions of a politician, the politician did something wrong and is trying to cover it up.
So, tell us again why Cruz didn’t lie?
Ted, take the high road. Recap your apology tonight in earnest. Fill in whatever might be missing. Own the perception that has been created. Do it immediately. Do it right. Do it publicly. Do it to Ben Carson’s face.
Then move on.
Where did the thing about the “big announcement next week” come from?
The first time it shows up in the time line is Spence Rogers’ email.
Carson denies that it came from him, or his campaign.
CNN never mentioned it.
How will you spin this obvious lie?
I’m going to make sure it doesn’t go away until everyone recognizes the lying baffoonery that is Donald Trump, not to mention his lying accomplices in the MSM.
Not at all. The people who lied are CNN and their ratings pal Donald Trump.
>>> If this Post is true then the media would pick it up. <<<
This post does appear to be true and therefore will be buried by the media.
Don’t think the media has a conservative Republican’s best interests in mind, EVER.
Tricky Teddy is gonna need a bigger belt buckle for tonight’s debate.
