CNN put out the information and both Cruz and Rubio campaign people passed on what CNN reported. It didn’t change the result of the race at all.
Wrong. CNN only put out information that Carson was taking a break. The Cruz campaign put out information to the caucus locations suggesting Carson was dropping out and Carson supporters should switch their support to Cruz.
You couldn't prove that it did not change the result of the race if your life depended on it.
The only connection I've seen to the Rubio campaign is that tweet from some guy in Georgia no one seems to know anything about.
