The Cruz campaign stated that Carson was suspending his campaign AFTER both CNN and Carson said otherwise. The Cruz operators were lying liars, and anyone with an ounce of integrity would have fired them.
“The Cruz campaign stated that Carson was suspending his campaign AFTER both CNN and Carson said otherwise.”
The CNN tweet and TV cast were both a few minutes before caucusing began. Roughly 15 minutes. What was significant and completely unexpected by the Cruz campaign was that Carson said he would not be in NH and SC. In other words, he was skipping the debates. This was breaking news. (Turns out this was a FALSE statement by CNN. And Carson’s team initially blamed the media for the false report.)
This was the equivalent to a coach in the super bowl getting news that the quarter back on the opposing team cannot play. Of course the coach is going to tell his team. And of course he is not going to use a time out to call his team back in and let them know it was misinformation.
This was probably intentional on the part of CNN. And Cruz’z team should have verified anything coming from the Communist News Network. The fact they disbursed this “news” at the worst possible moment for Carson and everyone in the Republican campaign is highly suspicious.
But treating this like it was some sort of planned conspiracy on the part of the Cruz team to deprive Carson of votes he would have otherwise gotten is ridiculous. Anyone who believes that puts their trust in the MSM who are proven liars.
“The Cruz operators were lying liars, and anyone with an ounce of integrity would have fired them.”
You have a very clear problem with discerning who is truthful and who is a liar. Usually when people are deceived it is because they want to believe something is true when it is not. People want to believe Cruz is bad because they get to be part of the in crowd that hates conservatives. Making friends with enemies of conservatism is selling your soul. That is the problem most of our Republican leaders have. They want to be liked. They want to secure and amass power for themselves. And they want to get rich and live in the lap of luxury for being a “public servant”.
You have a bad case of misdirected skepticism and have allowed others to manipulate your naive and gullible nature.
For the second time, you also conveniently ignored my detailed answer AND my point about how you and those like you use two different sets of standards to evaluate candidates. You have one set of rules for Cruz, and another for Trump and for yourself.
You ALSO conveniently ran away from your original claim in which you asserted — mockingly, derisively, condescendingly — how you heard with your own ears the Cruz campaign NOT implying but explicitly saying Carson was “dropping out”. This lie has been repeated so often (Goebbels) it is now being accepted as fact even though it never happened. And you are guilty of spreading this falsehood. And the least you should do is admit your mistake and move on. If you cannot bring yourself to do that then I can only think it is an intentional, nasty, lie on your part intended to malign a great conservative just because he is not your preferred candidate. What other excuse is there?
