The counties where Carson’s departure was announced are the counties that RUBIO won. And that, I think, may be why CNN gave this false report. At the time that CNN came out with the false report, Rubio’s people started saying they were going to do better than anybody expected. Last night a lot of people were wondering why Rubio was doing so well. Well, it seems that Rubio’s people got cocky when CNN gave that false report. I would expect most of Carson’s supporters to move to Cruz if Carson left the race but it seems like they went to Rubio - possibly because they were made at Cruz’s people saying Carson was dropping out. I suspect that this was set up by CNN, Rubio, and the GOPe, which has guaranteed that there would be a brokered convention, which would only happen if Rubio rises and both Cruz and Trump fall. CNN’s false reports further all those goals.
I hadn’t heard that, Thanks for that info.
I can’t see Rubio doing that in the other states though. I mean I’m thinking Cruz loses in New Hampshire, but I can’t see Rubio beating him in any of the Southern states or the “flyover states” (except Colorado and Illinois).
And Cruz has a strategy. He’s focusing on getting delegates in areas like Guam. They don’t vote in the election, but they send delegates to the convention.
