It’s Carson who must investigate not Trump. I hope he does. I find it odd if the judge is saying nothing can be done about cheating. No wonder this country is a disaster!

Reporter: Do you regret, uh, announcing that that you were going to be going back to Florida and spurring some of this confusion?

Carson: Well, I didn’t make that announcement. Uh, I guess somebody talked to … other people…

Reporter: Well, your campaign told the press.

Carson: You know, *I* didn’t say it, so don’t blame me. [laughing]

Reporter: But you’re here telling us that people should know what’s going on in their campaign and hold people accountable, I mean that’s [crosstalk]

Carson: Well, let me ask you this question, is it okay after being on the road for after three weeks to go home to Florida and get a fresh change of clothes? Or is that a problem? Does that make someone into an evil, horrible person?

..... So, to summarize:

Carson admits his own campaign staffer talked to the media and said he was going to Florida.
Carson takes no responsibility for the actions of this staffer.
Cruz staffer tweeted a media report based entirely on what the aforementioned staffer said.
According to Carson, Cruz should take responsibility for that staffer.


So Carson knew his campaign leaked this to the press. Then got angry that it snowballed from there.... He is kinda burrying the lead here isn't he.

And going home to get a change of clothes? Is Iowa or New Hampshire so rural that he can't send staff or go himself to buy some more clothes?

if Trump thinks some of his votes went to Cruz because of the dirty trick then he has as much right to as for an investigation as Carson IMHO.. they need to do away with the stupid caucuses to start off the nomination.. it’s always a cluster F in progress for one or both parties

It is a caucus matter, up to them. Cheating?
Napolitano on that terrible mailer sent out:
It would be impossible to prove the mailer a? Coerced anyone to vote who were not going to vote or b) coerced anyone into voting for a particular candidate.
No case.
Re the Carson scandal - no basis for any legal action.
His view - All DT claims are political.

There is generally no legal requirement that a political party use democratic or otherwise ‘fair’ methods at all to choose a candidate.

Any ‘adjudication’ of this would seem to take place within the Republican Party.

"Carson is an enigma to me," he said, before offering a summary of one of Carson’s books. "He said that he’s 'pathological' and that he’s got, basically, pathological disease...I don’t want a person that’s got pathological disease." "If you’re pathological—there’s no cure for that, folks. There’s no cure for that," Trump said. "If you’re a child molester—a sick puppy—a child molester, there’s no cure for that. There’s only one cure, we don’t want to talk about that cure. That’s the ultimate cure. Well, there’s death, and there’s the other thing."

Before Trump felt the need to defend Carson's honor.

Hillary is not in jail why do you thing anything can be done to law breakers, at least certain law breakers?
