You’re a smart guy; I truly believe that from your posting history. The information about Carson is Carson’s fault and he should be ashamed of himself for letting Cruz’s campaign take the fall.

It was CARSON that told CNN he wasn’t going to campaign in NH or SC. Now, we all know that that was a complete sign of dropping out. Regardless, CNN ran it as a breaking story, because it was a breaking story, and Cruz’s campaign (and Rubio’s) ran with it. Who wouldn’t? You would have. I would have. In the speed of the caucus, when people are voting live, and a candidate tells a media outlet he’s not campaigning, that is a sign that those votes swirl if you don’t say something.

Later that night, CNN did NOT run a breaking news story to say they were wrong or that Carson’s team misled them. It was hours after the original even and voting had taken place.

Cruz did not lie about it. Carson did. Carson was using his time running to raise money; he knew he wasn’t going anywhere. he was blowing through the cash.

What are you going to do when Cruz is eliminated from getting the required 1,237 delegates that will happen this month? Are you going to still support him to go on with his campaign?

You are not accurate.

Dr. Carson was mauled by the stinking Team Cruz.
Starting with Globalist Cruz's GF.

Cruz is a shameless as Obama, but declares himself holier.

Spinning much are we? I looked up all the relevant video/tweets at the time. CNN NEVER said Carson was getting out. They even clarified that they NEVER said that way before the Cruz campaign started promoting a KNOWN LIE.

Saying that a candidate is dropping out while voting is ongoing is despicable. You can’t “infer” such a serious thing. You can’t “read between the lines” about something like this. Anyone with a brain knows you just don’t do such a thing. That is unless you are an unscrupulous lying sleazebag like Ted Cruz. By the way, the Cruz campaign would have NEVER done this without Ted’s Okay.
