Carson calls for Cruz camp dismissals after cheating allegations

Ben Carson is calling on Ted Cruz to fire anybody on his campaign allegedly involved in spreading the misinformation that the retired neurosurgeon had suspended his campaign before the Iowa caucuses.

"If Ted Cruz doesn't know about this, then he clearly needs to very quickly get rid of some people in his organization," Carson told "Fox & Friends" on Tuesday. "And if he does know about it, isn't this the exact kind of thing that the American people are tired of? Why would we want to continue that kind of, you know, shenanigans?"

It is also a fact that Carson set himself up.

Dig, set, slam.

This is a tactical error by Carson!

Instead of coming out victoriously he is coming out of Iowa crying.

This is nothing compared to what Clinton will throw at him if he is nominated.

People like you is why I will never vote for Cruz ever again. He used to be my second choice now he is on my never vote for list and that includes the his US Senate seat. If Cruz is the nominee I vote 3rd party.

This thread has zero to do with Trump, but you vicious Cruz supporters just can't pass up any opportunity to attack Trump.

“Proof of Ted’s campaign dirty tricks.”

Good. Then he knows how to win the election. Do you actually believe the Dems will play by the rules come November?? Where have you been this past 20 years?

I think people can discount any idea that Cruz is Christian as we understand the term.

So what? I hear from the Trump people that we are not electing a Pastor in Chief.

Let's keep the spin at least somewhat rational here.

Cruz is not pure as the driven snow.

He is just another run of the mill politician.

Trump: Ben Carson was ‘an OK doctor’

Yeah no kidding. He’s a clown like Jeb. Losers bitch, winners get laid.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Just pointing out the fact that there are others in the campaign who have used innuendo and suggestion to their benefit.

[PghBaldy]

That is true.

I can understand any candidate's desire to sleep in their own bed and "pick up a change of clothes" but that - in campaign parlance, is "I'm regrouping and rethinking my strategy with friends and supporters, and, yes........I could be thinking of suspending my campaign."

To media hounds, that's blood in the water. Who knows where rumors begin but to claim it came from any eager beaver campaign volunteer or, worse yet, was planted by a campaign operative is a bit of a stretch........but nice try, media and anti-Ted folks!

Trump: Carson is ‘not a great religious figure’

My thinking also.

[Beagle8U]

“Breaking News. The press is reporting that Dr. Ben Carson is taking time off from the campaign trail after Iowa and making a big announcement next week,” the email, acquired by CNN, read. “Please inform any Carson caucus goers of this news and urge them to caucus for Ted Cruz.”

Freaking CNN started the rumor, NOT Cruz!

Well the cruz haters will be glad to hear Rubio wins in the long run.|
Against Hillary, just as both parties wanted.

Guess who wins...HILLARY!

[RasterMaster]

“Do you know who else sent out a mailer like Ted did?”

Yea...the IOWA GOP in 2014.

[Beagle8U]

Nope, it was CNN.

[cuban leaf]

I’m really trying to see what Cruz did wrong. I’m not seeing it.

[Pravious]

“Cruz is nasty. Just another career politician pulling dirty tricks to win.”

TED CRUZ... THE NEW NIXON.
