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.”

please refer to the cruz mailers.
Cruz is another typical slimy politician.

Did someone lace Carson’s Valiums with speed? It’s a two man race.

I very strongly suspect it is. I do hope it is pursued and any wrong doing clearly exposed. If there were not any forms of sabotage it should be brought out as well. I do not, however, believe Carson dreamed it up. It doesn’t fit his persona. It does fit Cruz’s.

In this case I imagine what was actually said is recorded somewhere. The wife may have been overly sensitive. Maybe not. I suspect she mistook speculation for fact. I have heard so many speculations about when different candidates would drop out and what that effect may be.

And suppose it’s the truth. Do you think such actions should be tolerated in a national election of this import?

the twitter post was not from the Cruz campaign.

also, campaigns have been doing this sort of crap to each other forever. Jefferson was a master of it against Adams.

So stab ‘em in the back and then thank Jesus in your victory speech?

Interesting.

I hope Carson spreads this far and wide. I hope all of the media pick this up and run with it. That is criminal behavior imo on the Cruz campaign. I wish there were a way to make them pay.
