Well Dana Bash on CNN last night said “her sources” were rumoring that the GOP would offer to support Dr. Carson in the Senate race (the seat Rubio gave up) if he’d fold his tent. Sounds like she was right.

Whether or not a lie has the intended impact is independent of the act of lying itself. You are full of thanksgiving Stuffing... The Man Child Donald Trump accused Cruz during several debates on national TV of and I quote "stealing Ben Carson's Votes". So you run along and find me those voters who had their votes stolen by Cruz's staffs actions. Based on Legal filings and settlements we already know trump is a habitual Liar.
How about you?
Donald said some pretty twisted sexual things about him and his daughter. Because the act actually didn't take place can we use the same line of reasoning about Donald as you are above to Cruz?

Sounds like she was right.I bet he demanded a few thousand of his books be bought by the RNC and he be provided a years supply of 5 Hour Energy drinks...

What does this have to do with Donald Trump? What you’re saying is lying is okay as long as nobody believes you. Would you apply that to anyone other than Cruz campaign staffers?
To: 2ndDivisionVet
He will probably jump back in and accuse everyone who spread this story of “Dirty Tricks!”
He’s a victim! Everyone is against the black man!

Makes sense, can’t win when you’re polling at 4%.I also won’t worry where his votes go, probably 1% to each candidate.

It was CNN the last time, not the Cruz campaign. They just passed the information on.

There was no CNN report. During some live coverage, a couple talking heads were musing about how odd it was that Carson was going to Florida and commenting that it didn't seem like the actions of someone who was planning on pursuing a serious campaign. The Cruz campaign then tweeted that CNN had reported that Carson was dropping out, which was not the case.
The fact that the Cruz campaign has since fired a couple staffers for similar incidents tells me that they had some unscrupulous people working for the campaign.

You conveniently left out how he wasn't going to the next two primary states, either. With that information and the statement he was going home, I'd say that would give people the impression he was dropping out.
I think that should have been checked with the Carson campaign people before anyone passed it on, as Rubio's people apparently had. That doesn't mean Cruz, himself, sent it out.
