That news report clearly says that Carson was NOT going to be campaigning the following week. CNN’s report about Cruz’s apology said that Cruz gave a different bent to the news - that the CNN report actually said that Carson was going to FL BEFORE going on to campaign in NH and NC.

The documentable liar here is CNN. The report on Cruz’s apology is a smear against Cruz, pure and simple. It’s what CNN does. Why is it so hard for people to understand that?

Yeah Carson has raised the most money, but he has also spent the most as well.

“If there would be a President Cruz, I just hope he wouldn’t rely on a CNN report that someone heard that Russian has launched a nuclear weapon towards the US.”

Did you stay up all night writing that????

LOL. Are you even trying to be objective?

It wasn't even subjective; it was just plain silly.

I should have said:

That news report clearly says that Carson was NOT going to be campaigning the following week. CNN’s report about Cruz’s apology said that Cruz gave a different bent to the news - CN’s apology report claimed that the original CNN report actually said that Carson was going to FL BEFORE going on to campaign in NH and NC.

“Who supplied them with the information? Let me guess, Cruz workers.”

No, the Carson campaign spokesman announced Carson was leaving Iowa for Florida.

Apparently for clothes and not to quit.

Apparently Joseph A Banks doesn’t have stores in Iowa.

.
Carson is definitely in debt, from trying to run with the Big Dogs.

He will have no choice but to do what Walker did:
Turn to Cruz to get his debt wiped out.

Cruz was 100% correct in his assumptions.

“Yeah Carson has raised the most money, but he has also spent the most as well.”

Flying back to Florida for a change of clothes is expensive.

Cruz apologized for not sending out a retraction once CNN changed its story but that would have been virtually impossible to do since the caucuses had already started by then. In the story you linked, however, CNN lied about what it was reporting that night. That is why you need to watch the video.

Sure sounded like CNN thought it was a positive sign he was dropping out. Carson didn’t help himself when asked about what he would do if he didn’t do well in Iowa, he said he would evaluate his position. Together CNN probable assumed what a lot of us at FR did, that Carson was probable dropping his race having not gotten the evangelic vote he hope in a strong area of the nation in that regard.
