Carson: Cruz campaign sabotaged us with ‘dirty tricks’

What you referred me to is perhaps as bad as "Shamegate" if it's true, and in combination with it, is appalling. If spreading the lie about Dr. Carson dropping out was coordinated by the campaign, the Cruz campaign lacks a right vs wrong compass. It's "tricky dick" politics.
