Carson: Other campaigns sabotaged us with ‘dirty tricks’
MSNBC ^

Posted on 02/01/2016 9:41:01 PM PST by TigerClaws

Dr. Ben Carson and his campaign accused Sen. Ted Cruz’s team of sabotaging him in the Iowa caucuses Monday night by encouraging Cruz supporters to announce that Carson was dropping out of the race at their caucus sites.

“It was happening all over,” Iowa State Director Ryan Rhodes told MSNBC. “One of the precincts Candy [Carson, the candidate’s wife] walked into, she had to correct the record. She actually walked in, in Ankeny, and gave a speech about no, he’s still in the race and that’s a lie.”

Trump got 5 delegates, Cruz got 6 - there is a long way to go bud.

They played fast and lose with the truth. Both reported false information.

I don’t want to hear any more how Cruz is different and not your typical politician. Nor do I want to hear what a good Christian he is


BTT

There is no way that Huckabee and Santorum’s support would ever go to Cruz. They have been on the campaign trail in Iowa trying to educate the people about the charlatan that Cruz is.

I agree. I believe he’s a fraud. There are going to be some disappointed Cruzers down the road when the real Cruz comes out. And it will come out.

Personally I don’t care that much. It is fun to watch and to post but I stopped believing my vote counted back in 1992. Then the Florida recount sucked me back in for one more election.

Trump got 7 delegates to Cruz’s 8. Rubio got 6.

The Cruz fans are getting a bit nutty tonight.

“Pride goeth before a fall.”

I thought Trump displayed class in his to the point short speech and needs to do that more often. He spoke from the heart.

Cruz did an embarrassing 40 minute speech that Fox cut away from.

Rubio acted like a winner and gave a solid speech.

Carson, a good man, was royally screwed by the Cruz supporters tonight who lied about him dropping out. Dirty trick rivaling Nixon.

Agree. I think Cruz is good at playing the faith card, but when push comes to shove ...

I have an adjective. It’s a variation on chicken droppings. Cruz’s M.O.
Yes, immoral. Ironic, isn’t it?

I’m no neophyte, Tex. Have been around since Eisenhower and seen a lot of crummy, sleazy, nasty tricks. This, however, coupled with the false voters registry sent out recently shows a man not fit to be president. Coupled with his ineligibility ,his voting record favoring NWO, his connection to the NWO wife and contributors, I will NOT vote for him. There is a limit to tolerance, even for a diehard republican.

If no limit is ever placed on misconduct, how do you expect to ever have even a semi-clean election? Why continue to go through the motions of an election? The people are angry. They had better be heeded.

This wasn’t a lie. They were reporting a breaking news story on CNN that Carsons schedule looked like a candidate that might be about to suspend his campaign.

Thank you for clarifying the number of delegates for me. I guess I was looking at old numbers. A one-point delegate win isn’t all that - is it? A candidate has to get what - 1,236? Long way to go.

EVERYONE HATES TED.

Really? Then why did Gallup just come out with a poll that shows Trump with the highest unfavorable ratings of any politician in the last 25 years at 60% unfavorable, while the "unlikeable" Ted Cruz had only a 37% unfavorable rating. And remember that this was not just a poll of Republicans, but also of Dems and independents.

As opposed to buying votes with my money by expanding the ethanol mandate?

Cruz’s slime is much less costly.

He might believe it (and I think he does), but he comes across as phony. In the outtakes video he dumped on Youtube, he said his mom prays for him HOURS a day. She made a look that said “No, I do not.” He lays it on kind of thick.

ADD Rep. Steve King to the list of miscreants.

Duh! Carson isn't exactly an "insider", either. Maybe they thought the three candidates who don't have the key to the GOPe executive washroom would sweep the caucus...

Rubio's tally came as a surprise to me, but he would have been in the top 4.

I expected Carson to beat him.

That is your interpretation, not mine. HE is a sleazebag. Don’t claim the victim brought this on himself. Carson didn’t abandon his troops “on the field of battle.” No excuses. Cruz is a rat. Tactics the same.
