Cruz must think the Carson “thing” is hurting him and he is trying to make up. To late as the damage has been done. You cannot undo it.
Good analysis.
Or he’s trying to apologize to his face, like a man. Which is why he requested it off camera.
The reason you’re hearing about it is because Carson is talking about it, not Cruz.
Forget Ben Carson. He’s in league with Trump’s plan to try to make a mountain out of a molehill. Carson is just using this issue in a craven attempt to get his lazy, mismanaged campaign off life support.
Or Cruz is actually an honest person and very upset.
The only dishonest candidates I’ve seen have been Trump (blowing nonsense and making up lies about people), Bush (same), and Rubio for his dishonesty re: immigration.
It could also be construed as a tacit admission to the veracity of the charge.
I'd still vote for Cruz over any of the establishment, but Cruz is revealing him self more and more which I find disheartening.
It would be nice to be able to really get behind somebody for a change instead of the lesser of two evil thingy.
you can bet he’s begging only because he’s taken a huge hit politically.. If he were ahead in the polls he wouldn’t be giving Carson the time of day..
Or maybe Cruz is more concerned with the feelings of a fellow ‘Christian’ and wants to do the right thing!?
As has been said many times before, this wasn’t a malicious act anyway according to actual events/facts.
To the occasional reader, it appears Cruz’s team publicized that which CNN said. Whoopsie. Politics ain’t beanbag, and I know of no indication that Cruz’s team made it up for the purposes of hurting Carson. They just doubled down on CNN’s missed point.
The average voter doesn’t care much about this. I might hurt slightly, but he’s tied or a couple points ahead of or behind Rubio in most polls, despite all the glowing treatment of Rubio and the trashing of Cruz by the media. I think he genuinely wants to fix this, as he’s gone out of his way to be positive about all the candidates and maintain a good relationship. The exception being the 2-way war between Trump and Cruz for about 3 weeks now. That started first with the broadsides of citizenship and being Nasty from the Trump campaign (both fair attacks, but aggressive attacks none the less).
Cruz likely would like Carson’s endorsement eventually (or may have previously had it coming down the road), and certainly wants to win Carson supporters at whatever point he gets out of the race. Carson’s departure is inevitable. He’s not polled in contention for months now and does not have any path to get there.

OJ apologized to Nicole in her coffin too.
Exactly right.
