I am not inclined to show disgust over something that, given what was being reported at the time, was not a lie. But I did say that Steven King was wrong to say emphatically that Carson was dropping out without it being confirmed. But given what I know of the shambles Carson's campaign is in and has been in along with the fact Carson has no campaign events scheduled for NH or SC, I don't think it was unfair or underhanded to point it out.
But why will you still not address Trump's very personal and untruthful smears, his outright lies about Carson? Why should I have to agree with you in order for you to man up and admit what Trump said, the lies he told were actually much worse.
Did anyone from the Cruz campaign call Carson "pathological" and compare that his personality was no different from that of a pedophile and suggesting that the only cure for such a person was the death penalty or castration?
“I am not inclined to show disgust over something that, given what was being reported at the time, was not a lie.”
There’s the fatal flaw, you refuse to admit it was a lie.
It was a lie that even Ted admitted to, and apologized for. Ted actually said “that was our mistake” [the assumption/lie that Carson was dropping out] and that his team should have contacted Carson.
Until you admit Carson dropping out was Team Ted’s assumption, a lie, very unprincipled and dishonorable to use on caucus night, and show some disgust, everything else you bring is pussy footing around.
Say what you want about Trump but he didn’t pull dirty crap on caucus night when votes were being counted. Ted Cruz, the “principled” conservative did that.
Amazing.
I think Trump was stunned as how dirty it was. His after caucus speech was very nice. He congratulated Ted. He seemed very happy and so did his family. That was before he heard about Ted’s dirty tricks.

I would have happily voted for Ted as the nominee because I actually thought he was principled and honorable. But now voting for Ted as the nominee will be just another “cream of the crap” vote for me.
