“Neither did the Cruz campaign.”

Yes. Documented with emails and now an audio. Audio was made after Carson had set things straight.

Politicians have been known to lie sometimes. I figured most people knew that.

They said he was taking a leave of absence. And according to Carson’s campaign, and his schedule, that’s exactly what he’s doing.

LOL....what rock have you been hiding under?

It’s all over...the proof that CRuz campaign DID put out that Carson was quitting. There are even audio recordings of his IA caucus precinct chairs getting directives, from campaign, to say just that.

They said he was taking a leave of absence. even Carson’s own campaign said he was going to Florida and skipping NH and NC. What else would you call that?

Unfortunately you can’t always stop a meme. I feel bad for Ben Carson because this happened to him before — people saying he was out of the race. But Ben really needs to step up and admit Ted made an understandable mistake. CNN should apologize for their instigating actions, but they won’t. It was nice that Ted apologized to Ben, but Ted might swallow his pride and apologize to CNN even tho CNN does not deserve it.

“They said he was taking a leave of absence.”

Why did Cruz say to tell Carson voters not to waste their votes?

He already knew that Carson was not quitting.

And, the biggest elephant in the room is, why would Carson announce he was quitting BEFORE the vote? After working in Iowa for all that time and spending all that money, and bug out just as the pay off was coming?

It takes an idiot to swallow that line.

Kinda like the constant posts that said Jimmah would vote for Trump if he had to make a choice

“Why did Cruz say to tell Carson voters not to waste their votes?”

But did he really? Where are these hordes of Carson voters who claim to have been tricked into voting for Cruz 15 minutes before the caucuses opened?

They said he took a leave of absence. Which he did. Nowhere did they say he suspended his campaign. So try again.

Is Cruz eligible under the “no foreign born” requirement in the constitution? Ya think?
