I mean this isn’t the 19th century where there is no internet or cable news.

Ever been to Iowa?

It’s not scapegoating it’s ACCOUNTABULITY.

Cruz just lost me with this corruption.

Let’s say that there was a rumor floating around that Carson was going to quit the race ( regardless of where it came from (CNN was reporting it as well ) ).

I can’t believe that Iowa voters ( and Carson supporters ) are so DUMB that they would not double check to see if this story is true or not before casting their vote. I mean this isn’t the 19th century where there is no internet or cable news.

As a Cruz supporter, I know I’d double check first if I heard news floating around saying that Cruz had quit before casting my vote.

So, to say that Carson’s 4th place showing was CAUSED by the rumor is just that — BALONEY.

Carson just did not have enough supporters in Iowa, rumor or not. PERIOD.

What Cruz’s staff did was no mistake. He hired people who specialize in misinformation campaigns. Expect more of the same. Cruz will do anything to win... this is not something new.

You are correct, that they both are running as is djt, ergo they both would like to have him out of the race.

>>”I don’t make a practice of scapegoating staff members when it’s politically convenient,” Cruz added.

Perhaps a reference to Trump blaming an intern for a bad tweet on his account?
